Pros

Target is an extremely friendly and development-oriented company. It places a lot of emphasis on formal reviews and training--ongoing communication with levels above and below ensures strong information flow. It would be a great place to start a career or to intern: CEOs seem to come from the very lowest ranks and work all the way up. The employees are very social people, with a great deal of openness both personally and professionally.

Cons

Analytical aptitude is not valued at the lower levels, with many incoming college graduates being trained well in marketing and image management but not familiar with basic analytical methodologies. Complex work is dismissed too easily.

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.
