Pros

There appears to be a lot of opportunities to move through different positions and try new things. Advancement is based on performance.

Cons

The hours are very long. It is the company expectation to work a minimum of fifty hours a week, but that easily turns into more then sixty-five. Nights and weekends are expected and it is very common to work until midnight closing the store, only to be the six am opener the next day. Payroll is also very tight and it is almost impossible to complete workload with such small crews. Bonus seems very difficult to achieve and

Pros

10% off all target purchases, good fellow business analysts, average age is really young as turnover is 50+%

Cons

awful work environment, horrible managers, an above average first year raise is 3%, hard to move to an area you are interested in, promotions are based on seniority or family, expect a 7% raise once you're promoted to senior BA after 2.5 - 4 years.

Pros

The Discount. Really that's about it.

Cons

They want you to be available for all shifts. Will often try to work you for 6 hours at a time. That means you have to be willing to work 6-7 days a week to make any money. The work is repetitive and menial. Your boss puts you under tremendous amounts of pressure to get the job done, looking the other way if you take short cuts. But once the bosses boss finds out, prepare to be lectured on the Target way to do things, and how you shouldn't take short cuts.
