Target is a good company to work for, but don't plan on a career with them. This is a shame

Pros

It can be a good place to work. The air conditioner is wonderful. The employees are great.

Cons

No one cares about you as a person. They group everyone together.

If you haven't got a college degree or if you are over a certain age, then they push you out the door, if you are in management.

I thought I could be with this company and retire with it, but it's a shame that the people that have been with the company for years, that helped grow the company, need to go.

They bring these people in who know nothing about retail, and just because they have the college degree. That is I suppose to be the most important thing for the company.

What a shame.

I used to live, breathe, and eat Target. Now I don't even shop there, and I discourage others from shopping there as well.

Advice to Management

Older workers have good things to bring to the table and shouldn't be put out to pasture just because of their age.
