      I used to love working for this company.

      Pros

      For management/exempt employees, Target is a great company to work for if you are just starting out in your career. You get the opportunity to lead large groups of people right out of college. There are also multiple avenues to give professional development feedback to the individual. For the hourly team members, you have the benefit of working for a stable company, which provides some level of job security.

      Cons

      Performance reviews and promotional opportunities are very subjective and truly depend on who "likes" you. Leadership at all levels is guilty of this and has kept the right people from the job multiple times. Over the last few years the company has been increasingly relegating the store teams to "execute only" and has been centralizing all creative and progressive developments to "HQ only", which is a shame since it seems like some of the recent developments have been capital intensive but have provided minimal day-to-day improvements in the stores.

      Good compensation, but work-life balance beware.

      Pros

      Target bases performance and reviews on "leadership dimensions" that empower the employee to lead their own development, soar with their strengths and mitigate opportunities. The format provides for constant self-reflection and observations of self-gaps that causes one to develop professionally faster than they would elsewhere.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is a problem-especially when management puts a premium on long hours, meetings that take up much of your day, and "busy-work" that takes you away from what is really important--leading your team to exceed goals. Unfortunately in a company this size there is much turnover, at all levels. This causes you to have to "re-prove" yourself to different waves of management about every year or so, and also can play havoc with your career progression as you will get different feedback about your achievements from different leaders.
