Great Company, Poor Higher Management
ETL Hardlines • Former Employee

Pros: Target offers pretty good benefits for you and your family. The starting pay for single graduating college students is quite nice. Stores are always kept very clean and neat. Their leadership expectations for ETL's, STL's, and so on are well thought out. The "Fast, Fun and Friendly" attitude is a good standard to work by.
Cons: Absolutely terrible hours, not worth the salary. If you have a poor-performing team, you have to coach (manage) them out and create a new one. Basically, if you don't do something correctly, you will be coached and fired. As an ETL, you are expected to do everything while your STL, ETL-HR, and ETL-AP sit in their offices and do nothing all day. You're always having to call people in to cover call-offs. For a new manager coming out of college, Target's six-week training program is a joke. Whether someone is successful or not completely depends on whether the store is green or red, and also if you have a good STL.
