Pros

Great reputation, You'll learn a lot, Great opportunity for networking. It's a great place to launch a career, but you'll get pushed out of the business if you're not a perfect fit for their culture.

Cons

Promotion structure is based on time you've been there, not merit. For every class of new people they hire (50), they'll only hire 2 internals. Definitely not willing to promote from within. Very discriminatory and not accepting of other cultures and people's diets.

Pros

The team members were great to work with. The store is kept relatively clean and conditions are safe. Working for Target is an excellent opportunity for recent college grads. It is excellent experience.

Cons

The ability to do your job doesn't seem as important as being able to "speak to it". It seems more important to be able to give a good verbal presentation than to actually have a well running operation that has satisfied employees and is very profitable. The employees have way too much work that is required of them which will lead to burn out. This is because in order to keep making a profit the company has needed to trim down which has involved staff cuts.
