"In the early 90's when I started, It was great to work. I had small children at the time and the balance was just what I was looking for. As I grew with the company. It just went down hill. I'm talking, 14 years with the company and I don't regret leaving."

What don't you like about working at Target?

"Every business attitude for employees start at the top, the CEO. Now there is a lot of things that the CEO do that is wrong which trickles down to the base management of this company. A seasoned (10+ years) Team Leader makes an average 14-18 dollars an hour. The company is down sizing and finding every little thing they do wrong and fire them to bring in someone willing to work for 9 dollars an hour doing the same job . Example: Team Leader is responsible for 1-3 departments depending on the size, If it is a large area they get that one. OK, when they load on 5 departments (such as yellow world) boys, mens, jewelry, shoes, underwear, and they want it perfect, I mean all racks and tables perfect, and fire you because you didn't do your job even though you asked for help and then the execs blow you off."

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

What don't you like about working at Target?

"In the beginning it was a great place to work. Then you begin to realize the lack of management skill of those above you. Case in point was one exec would scream at the customer (guest) at the top of her lungs and grab merchandise out their hands. To keep your job you need to be friends of an exec. I have worked at 2 Target stores and the M O is the same. They hire good hard working people, then after a short period of time they cut their hours until they quit. They scream TEAM but I do not think they truly understand the concept. This is proven out by the lack of product in their stores when there is a sale. Also promotion is only there if you are young and suck up to the upper managers."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Learn soft skills. Find out what Team work is truly about. Stop treating sales associates like dirt."

"Early on I loved my job. They spoke of promoting from within, growing the company, and the pay and benefits were good."

What don't you like about working at Target?

"Upper management began pushing for more out of less with unrealistic demands. I couldn't move up any more without a degree, but I was discouraged from taking one class because it would cut into my availability to work a shift I hadn't worked in a year (a close on one night of the week, when I was an early morning logistics manager)."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be realistic. The company gets rid of all its best talent with its current practices."
