      Pros

      great opportunities to move around within the company, some great young talented people, lots of opportunities to do everything from property management, marketing, finance, distribution/supply chain, financial products, stores management, building services - you name it, it's there.

      Cons

      - not friendly in considering flexible work arrangements like the other big retailer in town (ROWE) or job share arrangement - can be more political than it used to be with more people positioning and overtly lobbying to look good in front of others - it happens everywhere but have noticed more of this in the last 3 years - performance measurement puts people in a "Performance/Potential" grid that can be difficult to get out of a certain "label" that can inhibit advancement - likewise, a certain Leadership Profile test can stick around forever and cap your career at a certain level

      Pros

      Fast Fun and Friendly will break up your daily activies once in a while

      Cons

      Burocratic and top heavy. There were always 4 other people tasked with the same goal as you and you may never know it. The trick was to know what answer management was looking for and go thorugh the motions of subjectivly evaluating a problem. Group Think was prevalent. More effort is extended in making each other look good than solving problems. The only acceptable solutions to problems were free or to push the issue into someone elses budget. Decision making was slowly being outsourced.

      Pros

      the discount is the best thing about working for target. You will save on taxes

      Cons

      politics . play them or you will go nowhere. dress well, or you will not be selected. Find a friend in senior management to speak on your behalf during thier district contribution meetings. Its not difficult.. the average STL is under 30 just take them out for a drink.
