Pros

Awesome working conditions as far as store cleanliness, etc. Various tasks and ways of organizing the sales floor seem to make a lot of sense. Target has put a lot of time and development into making our processes some of the most efficient in the retail industry. Almost everyone who works here seems to be friendly and helpful. Hard work is recognized and rewarded. I would have to say that the organization of management makes more sense than someplace like wal-mart. I also like that senior management as a whole seem skilled at every job in the store. Not much else to say.

Cons

Bleh, lots of strange ways of doing things.

Pros

The people. I've met many of my best friends in my 9 years at Target. Of course there are always a few 'less than stellar' people, but those are discovered and dealt with over time. The opportunities. I started as a cashier in college and made a career path for myself. I'm now in a salaried position where I feel that I personally make an impact through my work. The ethics. Committed to doing the 'right' thing. The fun. It's Target!! It's a culture in and of itself. I really believe that we're better than the competition in every way. I was offered a similar position with a competitor making much more and refused.

Cons

It's a large company and there will always be some degree of 'politics' to deal with.

Pros

I believe that the best reason to work for Target lies in the people that the company brings on to work along side you. Other staff are very professional and also fun, and that makes a work day go by much easier. The hours are manageable and the pay is decent as well. Supervisors often give quality feedback about the nature of your work.

Cons

Personally, I do believe that this can be frustrating at times though because people mess around too much and don't get work done. For example, some employees surf online for much of their day time working hours and this can be frustrating to others.
