Pros

A target store is a fast pace enviroment to work in. There is always something that needs to be achieved. It requires that you are always on the move and you are never really behind a desk or staring at a computer all day long. It is a difficult store to manage, because there are many operational processes that need to work effectivelly and in sync in order to have a succesful store. It requires critical thinking and the ability to manage your time and resources efficiently. If you have the ability to develop people and to improve operational processes, runing a store will become a very easy and rewarding job.

Cons

Target is not for everyone. At Target, you have to make it happen. You do not get recognized for trying or for making improvements. If you want to be recognized, you have to make it happen. And if you can't do it every day, then your not really doing it. There are no prices for being second best.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
