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

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.
