Target Employee Reviews for Protection Specialist

"Your work experience often depends upon what you make it."

What do you like about working at Target?

"Flexibility in scheduling, benefits, and the understanding that employees need to balance work and home life. Not saying you can call out every weekend to go partying, but if you need an extra day off here or there they won't sever your head if you ask for it."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"You must be customer-service oriented first and foremost. Ask a lot of questions, and do some research on the company beforehand."

What don't you like about working at Target?

"Opportunities to advance without education are limited. Only those who are team leads or higher can participate in education reimbursement. This is a bummer for me and I believe it would help create long-term employees out of some people."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I've worked through three STL's (store team lead, aka manager) and two ETL's (executive team leads). The older the manager, the more engaged they seem to be with making employees happy and comfortable. The younger, less-experienced ones need to lean on their elders a little bit and learn from them."
