Pros

The Target culture encourages networking and has a strong emphasis on the right team members in the right jobs at the right time. In meeting with folks all over the company I've seen this in action. Lots of movement, lots of career growth opportunities. Teams are supportive, communication is constantly growing. The air circulation in the building is really great. Doesn't have that stuffy feeling or smell I've experienced in other office buildings.

Cons

It's a huge corporation, some changes are difficult to set in motion. It takes more time to get things done (ie- contacting IT for assistance with software, etc). Individual positions are much more specialized/narrower set of responsibilities than in smaller companies.

Pros

Great Culture Awesome Advancement Opportunities Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Work/life balance is not good. Leadership wants exempt managers to work 10 hours, but with not enough payroll hours it is not possible.

Pros

It is a fun and fast-paced environment. You meet a variety of people, and it is easy to make new friends. You also learn a great deal about customer service.

Cons

Like most jobs in retail for a large company, one of your responsibilities is to ask guests to open up credit cards. Sometimes it is stressful when you are unable to sign enough people up for these credit cards because the number of cards you open is part of your employee review. Also, like most jobs working with the public, some people are very nice and respectful, and others are... not so nice and respectful. Just remember not to take it personally if a guest becomes upset with you. If you are doing your best, there really isn't more that can be done. There are plenty of other guests that will appreciate your hard work.
