How's the work life balance at Target?
They will not schedule within your availability, I closed for nearly two months straight even though other people could have used those shifts and I asked not to be scheduled like that for once, only to be met with opposition. In addition the hours can be extremely random, covering most of your day and still not giving you full time hours. You may work 5 days a week, middle of the day or into the evening and only get 16-24 hours, despite your availability. And it still takes up five days of your life
Most people can manage the balance but if you have kids, it can be difficult.

The team has it's fair share of lazy and hard working team members
Most are very friendly and hard working
You are expected to do the work that in the past three people would have done.
Why do people usually leave the company?
The good ones eventually figure it out that Target doesn't give a crap about them, then leave from frustration and a better paying job somewhere else.
A lot of the time managers are the reason. Some are complete jerks and no one wants to work for them. Or sometimes it's if they don't like you they'll find a way to get rid of you. Other times it's A & A (attendance and attitude). If you're late or call in a lot, they will fire you.
It's like anywhere else, people leave their managers.
How hard is it to get promoted at Target?
very hard. you have to get some fired to get the job. accuse of stealing
I got promoted basically 5 months in so if you stand out like nobody else and if the spot is open and others don’t really reach out for it then you can get it early! Can’t speak for others but probably a year
Very hard always looking for people who don't work at store already
