Pros

Target offers many great oppourtunities as long as you are willing to put the time and effort in. They hire smart people, so just being smart is not good enough. The work environment is one in which you will be challenged to be the best. At times it can be competitive, but for those that are type-A, you would enjoy it. There are many oppourtunities to be promoted as long as you own your career and understand that Target is looking for leaders, not just workers. This is a very high energy exciting place to work. There is not a day that goes by that I am watching the clock waiting for the day to end.

Cons

If you are not into a work environment where there is competition and constant challenges, Target is not the place for you. If you want to do the same job for the rest of your life, Target is not the place for you. If you are a independent worker who doesn't like collaborating with others on your team, you will have a difficult time being successful. Target is all about team and partnering with your co-workers.

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.
