      Target

      Executive team lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is a fast paced, fun environment. Perks include fairly high salary, pretty good benefits, some paid time off, and the employee discount. If you like working hard, getting your hands dirty, and managing people, making plans and meeting objectives, driving towards concrete results, this is the job for you. There are metrics for everything, and there are consistent visits from senior leadership to validate the metrics. There is a lot of room for someone who is hard working to advance quickly, if they can manage the people and deliver the desired results.

      Cons

      There are sometimes long hours involved. When the team fails, who has to step in and finish the job? You, if you are so dedicated. If you do not find out why the team is failing and correct the problem, you will find yourself at work for countless hours. You are responsible to correct long term problems, while dealing with the short term failings. If you never address the long term problems, you will never make it out of long days correct short term failings.

      Lots of brand. No leadership, no direction, not worth your life.

      Pros

      The best reason to work at Target has been getting the bullseye on your resume. It's not worth that anymore. The red is losing its luster. The best reason now is to try to hang on to ship in a maelstrom. You'll get experience in workplace turmoil, trying to lead in a leadership vacuum, and trying to establish communication in hush-hush environment. In short, it'll be one of the biggest challenges of your life. Oh, yeah, and Target Marketing has a lot of money to spend.

      Cons

      No vision. They trade brand clarity for vision. No communication. You'll get little knowledge shared, little feedback, and rarely good direction. No leadership. It just doesn't happen at Target. Forget what you read in HBR, Target works its own way and they don't ever want to change. It's a church, a cult of brand. If you buy in and stay in line, you'll be promoted. They'll tell you to set your own direction, but if you do they'll feel threatened and shut you out.
