Pros

Lots of responsibility with little experience in retail. Good money at a price. Focus on development. You will have the ability to create and change processes and get to know your employees really well. I'm 24 with 20 employees and no retail experience. Great start to show me what I truly want in life. I want more to build a life even if I get paid less.

Cons

They are going to point out your flaws mostly and don't focus enough on what you are doing good. I don't fit in because I don't party with the rest of them. Some peers will be your favorite part of your day, but then others will tear you apart right in front of others just for the sake of putting themselves ahead. It is a delicate balance of not making mistakes, because others will focus on that mistake for too long.

Pros

Exposure - Everyone knows Target. Opportunity For Training - If you want to cross train, they will usually do it if your a good worker. Decent pay when you get to Management. Good atmosphere - Everyone is usually pretty nice to each other. Management Positions are very high class and well respected.

Cons

Suggestion Box Useless - Management is going to do it their way 100% of the time. Chat Sessions - Useless unless Management is serious about fixing Team issues. Communication - Super important. Great at some stores, falls short at others. Doing what you are told and being exceptional does not mean promotion, at least not recently. Politics - Too much stress on what to say or do where instead of just getting the job done.
