Target Pay & Benefits reviews

I loved the team I worked with here! Pay was definitely low for the position, especially in comparison to other companies. I had a fantastic leader while I was there but did feel held back by the store director. This particular store has an incredible team that I miss so much and when you work in retail, your coworkers can definitely make or break the whole job.

Cons

Low pay, short breaks

They really do care about their team

GM Manager (Current Employee) - Nashville, TN - October 1, 2023

Great benefits. Great support. Competitive pay. Easy to advance if you want a career here, you just have to care about your work in a retail environment where most team members don’t.

Better company than others

Visual Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Boston, MA - October 1, 2023

Target is the standard corporation that could do a lot more for their employees, but either won’t or will give the bare minimum and expect people to cheer. They do give slightly longer breaks and lunches (though that really depends on what state you live in) and the benefits are better than a lot of other stores like it. The minimum wage is pretty decent, don’t expect a big raise your yearly review (it’s usually pennys), and hours can vary despite them constantly needing workers/work to be done

Would not do it again

Ap specialist (Former Employee) - Fresno ca - September 30, 2023

No one cares for you here, mean people and rude boss, low pay, not worth it at all. Bad training too and you get treated worse than the army for the low pay.

Fun workplace/bad management

Team Member (Former Employee) - Aurora, CO - September 30, 2023

My coworkers were great. The managers, however, were not so great. They would expect the impossible most days. The pay is okay but certainly not enough to compensate for how much work is required (always short-staffed) and it’s difficult to keep a full-time schedule

Not too bad

Cashier (Former Employee) - Irvine, CA - September 30, 2023

It could get overwhelming at times due to short staff but overall - it was an okay place to work at. The hours were super flexible which was a big deal for me.

The Store

Cashier (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - September 29, 2023

It was a good time for the best of the day and night to be done good with the back of the house and then there is to be a little bit of the same time.

Pretty nice! Not perfect

Front End Cashier (Current Employee) - Rockwall texas - September 29, 2023

Hours were consistent for a while, then dropped randomly. Otherwise its okay. The management is nice and understanding, but the hour drops is not fun for anyone.

It’s retail.

Electronics Associate (Former Employee) - Troy, MI - September 29, 2023

All in all an average place to work and if you’ve worked retail you know what to expect. Poor hours outside of 4th quarter, average pay, no set schedule, etc.

Pros

Good teams

Work life balance

Associate (Former Employee) - Gardena, CA - September 28, 2023

Working at Target was a positive experience for me. One of the aspects I appreciated the most was the friendly and supportive coworkers. The team environment fostered a sense of camaraderie and made the workplace enjoyable. Collaborating with colleagues who were always willing to lend a helping hand created a positive and inclusive atmosphere.Additionally, the pay at Target was fair and competitive. It reflected the value of the work being done and provided a sense of financial stability. This fair compensation was an important factor in my overall satisfaction with the job.

Us buildings (Former Employee) - Vietnam, PR - September 28, 2023

A small sme company, its an okay company to work for if you dont have debt to pay. Also the benefits are nice with a friendly working environment. Parking is a bit small

Basic work place

Team Leader (Former Employee) - Redlands, CA - September 28, 2023

It’s just as you think it would be. Simple work if you are entry level like cashier or on the floor stocking shelves . Leads jobs are harder with not much more pay. Occasional raises but only 10-25 cents.

Busy

Trainer (Current Employee) - Austin, TX - September 28, 2023

The starting pay is good but the raises are not the best. The raises are usually given yearly and depend on the time you have worked throughout the year.

Decent job

Cashier (Former Employee) - Braintree, MA - September 28, 2023

You can get decent hours but sometimes for new people it can be hard.management is alright nothing special,sometimes can be very demanding.pay is decent more of a side job than a main gig especially if you’re a normal worker.

Good Culture

Cashier (Former Employee) - Wilhelmina, MO - September 28, 2023

They have very good culture. Good place to work during high school or college. Make sure you like your department and hours because you can’t change availability until you’ve worked there for a couple months.

Not good for longterm

Guest Advocate (Current Employee) - Las Vegas, NV - September 28, 2023

It’s a great place to work for benefits but not long term. Management favoritism is felt. The whole store feels political but maybe that’s just my store.

Ok, but be warned about the hours.

General Merchandise Expert (Current Employee) - Seattle, WA - September 28, 2023

The worst part about this is how my particular location can not guarantee you getting the exact amount of hours you request for (I want for 40 hours a week but I average around 31-37.5 hours a week). Other than that, it’s about the same as any other retail job.
