      Great work environment but not analytically challenging

      Pros

      Target is an extremely friendly and development-oriented company. It places a lot of emphasis on formal reviews and training--ongoing communication with levels above and below ensures strong information flow. It would be a great place to start a career or to intern: CEOs seem to come from the very lowest ranks and work all the way up. The employees are very social people, with a great deal of openness both personally and professionally.

      Cons

      Analytical aptitude is not valued at the lower levels, with many incoming college graduates being trained well in marketing and image management but not familiar with basic analytical methodologies. Complex work is dismissed too easily.

      Pros

      Depending on the store, the people can be great to work with. My store almost felt like family. They are finally starting to catch up in technology. There are better price scanners and the LPDA's are great.

      Cons

      Management loves to pull you from your position to do things completely unrelated to your job or area. As a specialist, I was supposed to stay in just my area doing what I specialized in. I wound up doing odd jobs all over the store. Working Christmas stinks! You wind up working really long hours in order to clean up the store at night.

      Working for Target

      Pros

      I am fairly new to the company but it seems as if Target is very organized, they focus on training and development. They are a great out of college job because they train new executives well. They also value education which is rare in retail. They offer tuition reimbursement and are flexible if you want to pursue higher education. They also facilitate transfers nationwide and ensure you do not take a pay decrease to move. Target also cares about the community and gives millions each year, it is good to work for a company that gets involved.

      Cons

      When you begin with the company you are in limbo as you are not assigned a specific job or location. They do expect executives to work lots of long hours. The culture though positive is hard to master quickly so new executives can feel out of the loop for the first 5 months.
