Pros

The executive teams at most stores that I have been in work together and bond, taking pride in turining around what are deemed "red" stores.

Cons

Advancement/development opportunities not based upon experience/performance/education but rather if you are chosen as a "HiPo" based upon whether you are "Target brand" (how you look, dress, smooze, who you know, etc). Target categorizes it's people and once you are pegged as something, you are stuck with that stigma. Preach work-life balance but do not practice it. If you try to put family first, generally, you are criticized for doing so. They have no problem expecting you to work on days off or work 14-18 hour days without any added compensation.

Pros

Work/life balance is great for all. Training and development at the store level is fantastic and anybody wanting a career at target can can great opportunities if they apply themselves> The company is focused on building talent both from inside the organization, as well as building new talent from the outside. As a former intern I can speak to the value the company places on building an executive Team that can achieve, deliver results, and have fun along the way!

Cons

None that I can think of at this time. Like any job, you get out of Target what you put into it...
