Pros

I am fairly new to the company but it seems as if Target is very organized, they focus on training and development. They are a great out of college job because they train new executives well. They also value education which is rare in retail. They offer tuition reimbursement and are flexible if you want to pursue higher education. They also facilitate transfers nationwide and ensure you do not take a pay decrease to move. Target also cares about the community and gives millions each year, it is good to work for a company that gets involved.

Cons

When you begin with the company you are in limbo as you are not assigned a specific job or location. They do expect executives to work lots of long hours. The culture though positive is hard to master quickly so new executives can feel out of the loop for the first 5 months.

Pros

Target strives to be the best company ever, and it shows. The sense of pride and brand loyalty within Target has been unmatched in my professional career. Target spends some extra effort to recruit truly talented people, and this in turn makes for great teams.

Cons

Headquartered in Minneapolis, if you hate the cold.

Pros

Goes by fast, always busy-- the people I work with are great for the most part, quite characters and entertaining...but I don't think that has much to do with the company overall. I enjoy free pb and j or whatnot in the breakroom on occasion, and since I work in electronics i enjoy seeing the new releases come in

Cons

too low pay for tasks assigned, in electronics specifically we have so much to accomplish, including incessant customer service via phone, radio, and in store. hours are severely effected by the economy, and we are underpaid
