Pros

Target HQ can be great IF you end up in a good team. You can end up in terrible teams with toxic culture and people who just have been in the company for way too long and don't know anything outside of Target. You will hear racist, agist, and sexist comments here and there because some people just don't know any better. Also the Minnesotan passive aggressiveness a very real thing. No one will be straight forward with you and people are fake. Target could really be a good work place but watch out for some team members or leaders.

Cons

The HR won't care about you. Diversity and Inclusion is a joke here. They say they try, but the leadership in the diversity and inclusion team is TERRIBLE. Even witnessed work place bullying. Especially do not recommend Target for young professionals. Lots of older employees who will bring you down and pick on you for your age and lack of experience.

Pros

The team you get to work with and the peers you have Opportunity for advancement if you’re well liked and perform at a high level Pay when you advance Health and vacation benefits

Cons

Op model still has a long way to go, it’s not a one size fits all approach Highly political environment No longer embrace creativity; everything is black and white Feedback, praise, and developmental activities are few are far between now Hours worked and schedule required equates to no work life balance

Pros

The HQ office is nice and has nice view.

Cons

If you don't work for Target for a year, they will make sure you pay every penny for relocation/, even though they paid you less than what the package was. I signed the contract, they gave me $7,500 for relocation expenses. I quit in less than a year due to being abused, and they send me a bill for $18,000. I don't understand where the money comes from.
