Pros

As a retailer, Target is on target. I was very impressed with management and processes on the pure retail side of the company. The benefit package is truly one of the best in retail, including a decent match on the 401K, a EDCP, and a pension plan. Plenty of tech help. Lunch break!!!!

Cons

Complete lack of understanding of the profession of pharmacy due to non-pharmacy district and regional supervisors. Extreme micro-management, with many unnecessary processes to do the simplest task. (Your generous tech help is tied up in adm. process--not patient service) Salary is low versus what you will be asked to do. (42+ hour weeks) Raises and bonuses based on non-business indicators. Lack of professional respect/understanding by other members of management, with no system in place for recourse in a disagreement.
