- “The culture is super awesome, honestly. Target really takes the time to make sure people are seen and valued within the industry. It also takes effort to do what they do and have the team they have to be as proactive and awesome as they are. This can be shown with how the leaders delegate and treat employees.”
- “The culture here is amazing! I am capped at 40 hours a week, and everyone ensured I kept a good work/life balance, encouraging me to take breaks as needed and stay home if I wasn't feeling well. Everyone is so kind and accepting and wants me to do well and enjoy working here. They made me feel valued and like a real part of the team. The emphasis on safety, positive culture, and putting people first is what I love the most about Target and my experience this summer.”
- “As an intern, I work regular full-time hours. The intern program leaders emphasize the importance of work-life balance, so I never find myself being overworked. I would say it is pretty flexible given the hybrid nature of my project.”

The interviews were all virtual or over the phone, which worked out perfectly. It seems that they are very selective with their standards, and I think that ...

- “I had two interviews, over the phone and then virtually, and was emailed my offer a couple of days later. The interviewers were very sweet and excited to do this. It was just a normal conversation about me and what I am looking for and what they are looking for.”
- “The interactions with the interviewers were extremely positive, they were very kind and forgiving of nerves for first timers. The process had two rounds of interviews. Difficulty was as expected.”
