      Pros

      The executive teams at most stores that I have been in work together and bond, taking pride in turining around what are deemed "red" stores.

      Cons

      Advancement/development opportunities not based upon experience/performance/education but rather if you are chosen as a "HiPo" based upon whether you are "Target brand" (how you look, dress, smooze, who you know, etc). Target categorizes it's people and once you are pegged as something, you are stuck with that stigma. Preach work-life balance but do not practice it. If you try to put family first, generally, you are criticized for doing so. They have no problem expecting you to work on days off or work 14-18 hour days without any added compensation.

      Pros

      If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

      Cons

      Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
