Pros

The internship program at its corporate headquarters was run very well. There was two weeks of training, which was extremely helpful and informative. During the following eight weeks, I was definitely exposed to what a Business Analyst's role entailed. I got to present a final project to senior management, which was a great learning experience. My mentor and manager was always willing to help out and were open to giving advice. From what I heard from talking to analysts, Target provides a pretty good work/life balance when compared to other companies. Target is also supportive of opportunities to network with colleagues from different areas of the firm and managers. The thing I liked best about Target however, is how it is so involved with community service and is extremely supportive of communicty service opportunities.

Cons

I have no complaints for the internship program. As for Target itself, it sometimes seemed like it had a very bureaucratic structure. You definitely have to slowly work your way up.

Pros

Discount, flexibility, and night shift opportunity for students. Working nights can be fun - the store is closed and you can do your job at your pace. We almost always had opportunity to work more hours. Management sometimes provided free dinner / snacks to night employees.

Cons

Not much by way of promotion availability. It's retail - you generally have to work with some pretty uncompetent peers who make the same blanket wage as you do. Holidays are almost mandatory. Generally, you couldn't do your work and go home. You were always asked to help someone else in their area to complete the job- many "milked" the hourly clock and therefore took 4 hours to do a job that should've took one - understandable from one perspective given it was the only job they had to pay their bills.

Pros

Great benefits. Match your 401K 1:1 up to 5%. Direct Deposit for all employees, very accurate computer system for keeping track of your hours worked. Don't have to be worried about getting screwed over. They run their company by the book. Won't let you work over 6 hours without taking a lunch, 45 minute lunches, and two 15 minute breaks (per 8 hour shift).

Cons

Depending on your position, the hours may not be very good. Like any job, senior management competency is hit and miss.
