Pros

*An opportunity to make a real difference in the lives and working conditions of the store's team *Frequent opportunities to enhance Target's image and reputation within the local community, while reaching out to schools, social service organizations, parks and the like

Cons

*When a new CEO, regional VP, DTL and STL all arrive within months of one another, watch out for house-cleaning much like when a new administration occupies the White House. Allegiances and loyalties disappear, along with your long streak of O review scores *Smacking of age discrimination (given Target has more lawyers on retainer than any of us could afford to hire), execs throughout my district--over the age of 40--began to disappear this past year, involuntarily. I quit, after eight years as a dedicated executive, before I would give them the satisfaction of terming me based upon the most ludicrous assortment of trumped-up frivolousness you've ever read

Pros

Good pay, interesting work, mostly talented people, decent benefits, ability to move around in the company,

Cons

Hig.h expectations but little praise. Felt like I was under a microscope all the time and that management was always waiting for me to fail not succeed. People who did succeed excelled at marketing themselves but were not necessarily the most talented. People skills are not valued.

Pros

Target is a great place to learn how to play in the adult sand box. I would recommend at least one year for a basic experience to working as a team.

Cons

The work/life balance consists of mostly work. Be prepared to give up some hobbies, family and friends if you want to make it through the first 18 months.
