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

Target has a lot of young people that work for the company which can make the atmosphere a lot of fun.

Cons

One of the downsides is that because everyone there is very young, there are a lot of inexperienced managers who don't know how to handle their responsibility appropriately.
