Pros

Target is a great place to consider when beginning a career. Firstly, Minneapolis is great place to live well and save money. If the location is not an issue, Target is an almost ideal place to start working. Target also has a well-known employment brand, which allows for great mobility after that fundamental experience is gained. Within Target, it's encouraged to gain knowledge of the different sides that drive the business, which allows young professionals a great opportunity to learn. Depending on where in the company one starts, new employees will have the opportunity to be exposed to many new concepts.

Cons

Target is not a great place to work from a long-term perspective. The benefits provided to team members with considerable years of service do not compare well to Target's competitors (retail and non).

Pros

Good salary, have only worked for a few months. From what I understand from other employees, the ability to rise quickly and be noticed by senior management is very do-able and has proven to be motivation to work hard and do well. Enjoy the 10% discount at Target. I am from the east coast and went to school at the University of Wisconsin so it was nice to stay in the midwest. Overall I have enjoyed my experience thus far and look forward to updating my review when I have actually worked at the company.

Cons

Nice discount, Minneapolis is a great city. People are warm and welcoming.

Pros

If you need a mindless job so you can make a few extra dollars. You get 10% off everything.

Cons

Everything except the team leads, because they are the only people at the company that know anything about their job. Every person I have had any communication with at the corporate level thinks that they are superior to everyone below them, and has little common respect for the hourly team members. This company is in disarray right now because they have only focused on marketing during the last 20 years. This has created a culture of creativity, but with no substance. All of the merchandise is just as cheap as Wal-Mart except that they paid way too much for some "designers" name on the product.
