Pros

Target is generally a very well respected company and people were often impressed that I worked there. The immediate working teams are very supportive and feedback is constant, allowing you to constantly refine your skill set.

Cons

Marketing was a very stressful environment with new process being rolled out almost continually, a lack of creative freedom and a confusing approval process. Sr. Management constantly changed high level strategy and approvals did not stick through out the project life cycle.

Pros

In general, the people working there are great. Everyone does their job and is happy to help you with yours if you need it. The store team lead is great and he is fair.

Cons

I don't like that I have to work there for a year and three months before I am even eligible for a raise. The raises aren't much either, someone I know got a 6 cent raise....
