Pros

You get to see nice clothes and products to buy. You can get some good deals since you are also working there.

Cons

Educational status did not see to matter. I went in with a B.A. and had 8 years retail experience, and I was told they would not consider me for a managerial position. Yet many managers had less experience and education. The pay was basic, not a liveable middle class wage. You had to work ever other weekend and crazy hours all in one week.

Pros

Pay is on or above what competitors will offer. Great benefits package, 401k, and vacation plan. On the whole, the people that work for Target are fun, and good to be a round, they will help make your time with the company enjoyable.

Cons

Work life balance is a phrase you will hear a lot, but never actually experience. Long hours are to be expected in retail, however you will find that the Executives who actually care will work far more hours, while others are simply allowed to skate by. Lately the focus has come off of Targets strategic advantages of guest service and focus on team, and the company has begun taking a cost-cut mentality to shave every penny.

Pros

advancement if you are willing to committ.

Cons

Very difficult culture to understand and navigate. Personal relationships are critical. management decision are made without knowing facts. Presentation of material has to be delivered just right with warm and fuzzy feelings. There is high turn over.
