Pros

The best reasons to work for Target is that is very work/life balance. They have many ''extracurricular activities" which are heavily emphasized for employess to participate in such as Dragonboat festivals, kickball and football leagues, etc.. Opportunities within headquarters aren't difficult because they are desperately seeking more out-of-state workers.

Cons

There are too many poltics behind promotion. The merits of work are appreciated, however when times of promotion arises it becomes more about whether they like you or not. The work can become pretty mundane after awhile and just talking to other people it always seems target wasn't their first choice which seems eerie.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
