Pros

The company culture is inspiring. They work to achieve a model similar to that of Disney. Target works to build a "Fast, Fun and Friendly" work environment.

Cons

I often felt that as a cashier my position was not well respected with upper management. Granted I was young and inexperienced but motivation and recognition should not vary among any level of the organization.

Pros

Leadership and developmental programs available to those who want to promote. Good benefits and vacation programs. Yearly merit increase based on performance

Cons

Executive (senior management) is often hired straight out of college with no retail experience. Many of them are not willing to learn the groundwork which makes it difficult for the lower management staff and team members. Can not promote above team leader in your store.

Pros

The base pay is strong, the company is strong and healthy, discounts are nice including 401 k matching and savings plans

Cons

50 hour work week is really closer to 60 hours, district and group management were mostly promoted prior to economic down turn so no connection to new expectations regarding payroll and quantity of leaders. Your performance is very subjective, you could be a fast mover one day and three weeks later be the low hanging fruit they want to terminate.
