I currently work for target as a sales floor team lead. I've been with the company for 3.5 years, starting as a cashier moving around to all the basic areas of the store (guest service, fitting room, starbucks, sales floor, etc) and was promoted to GSA and then TL. While promotional opportunities may not be the easiest to attain they are certainly available if one tries, and while the pay isn't fantastic, its retail so I think its pretty competitive all things considered.

As I read through the comments so far, I am not terribly amazed. A lot of complaints, which I expected -- it is retail, and we get the worst employees. There is a "no one works as hard as me" syndrome at Target that is annoying. Get over yourself. You are working retail for some reason just like the rest of us. Retail is hard work for little pay and guests suck and the hours are not cushy. Now, I will review Target as a retail job, not as I would like my ideal job to be. The pay is better than any of my other retail jobs. I started as a regular sales floor team member at Target making almost what I made as a department manager at Wal Mart. While retail hours are never fun, they have been extremely accomodating with my other job at a local theatre. They've worked around my rehearsal and performance schedule like a dream. I've never wanted for hours, in fact I've had to turn them down on more than one occasion. Except for the whining of "no one works but me" (which comes from EVERY employee there, which in itself proves that it's a mass delusion) the environment is...
