Pros

When I began with Target in 2003, their pharmacy program was the best available. They were the first large company to put medication descriptions on the label - now law in many states. The bottle redesign was forward thinking and the culture was patient focused. Staffing and support was the best of any position I looked at. I believe that they can rediscover that excellence as I still see the store level pharmacists as being patient centered and caring.

Cons

Pharmacy is no longer independent of Store Management. Current pharmacists have no say in hiring for open pharmacist positions. The promise of a new computer system has been made and retracted several times as Target insisted it be an internal propriety development. This has left them far behind in technology and I believe that it has lead to safety issues.

Pros

Target had a really well-defined brand and a Senior Leadership that was excited to always be moving the needle. There were many opportunities for career advancement for those that were bright and ambitious. I can really say that I learned a lot about business, smart creative and negotiating a complex socio-political dynamic.

Cons

Many of the truly great senior leaders are now gone and the brand seems to be going through something of identity crisis. As it's size increases, so does the bastian of bureaucracy. Ineffectual box-checkers are sometimes allowed to languish.

Pros

day dreaming sleep in office good if you do not like to work and financially very strong to work without JOB someday.

Cons

I worked as a Senior Data Quality analyst and was forced to work under a 3 years junior . keep on insulting you till you get a job outside and resign. Target was good company 2-3 years back but now they want to get rid of people. they hire new people and force the old employees to resign. Senior management do not have anything to Do. They are only involved in Politics. you can learn more in a BPO then in Target. 0 job security in business teams or business data quality.
