Pros

Depending on the store, the people can be great to work with. My store almost felt like family. They are finally starting to catch up in technology. There are better price scanners and the LPDA's are great.

Cons

Management loves to pull you from your position to do things completely unrelated to your job or area. As a specialist, I was supposed to stay in just my area doing what I specialized in. I wound up doing odd jobs all over the store. Working Christmas stinks! You wind up working really long hours in order to clean up the store at night.

Pros

I am fairly new to the company but it seems as if Target is very organized, they focus on training and development. They are a great out of college job because they train new executives well. They also value education which is rare in retail. They offer tuition reimbursement and are flexible if you want to pursue higher education. They also facilitate transfers nationwide and ensure you do not take a pay decrease to move. Target also cares about the community and gives millions each year, it is good to work for a company that gets involved.

Cons

When you begin with the company you are in limbo as you are not assigned a specific job or location. They do expect executives to work lots of long hours. The culture though positive is hard to master quickly so new executives can feel out of the loop for the first 5 months.

Pros

Target strives to be the best company ever, and it shows. The sense of pride and brand loyalty within Target has been unmatched in my professional career. Target spends some extra effort to recruit truly talented people, and this in turn makes for great teams.

Cons

Headquartered in Minneapolis, if you hate the cold.
