Pros

Pay is fair and benifits are good.

Cons

Over the past 2 years Target - Assets Protection has jumped the shark. AP executives now report to the Store Team Leaders (not the district AP) as a result we spend the majority of our time doing non-AP functions because the store team leaders use us to do other executives jobs. As a result shortage and theft has increased each year???

Pros

Target has it together. Compensation and benefits are very good. Training is comprehensive and relevant to the business, and is broken up into segments that allow you to experience the business while you complete training. For Assets Protection, the training now includes "LOD" or leader on-duty training that prepares an ETL-AP to run a store when necessary (usually two or more shifts per week). Target is very big on personal and professional growth.

Cons

The operational involvement (LOD) can conflict with the assets protection role and can prove frustrating. Target seems focused on promoting store managers (a.k.a. "STL"), and has done away with some more traditional career paths. ETLs-AP may have limited options beyond a single store assignment if their goals are AP (loss prevention) exclusive. The culture of Target dictates conformity: "Fast, fun, and friendly" is a mantra that you must live by to be successful here.
