Business outlook
Pros
Target is very involved in the communities of which they are a part, and are supportive of employees' community involvement. Management is likely to increase pay, but there is not often room for real promotion.
Cons
Customers are often rude (but that's not the company's fault), hours are often stressful. LIttle room for real promotion opportunity, as jobs are often already decided before they are listed for the general population. During my nearly 6 year tenure at Target, I worked in three stores in two states (one change for college, one due to summer seasonal needs in MN) and I was amazed at the differences in management styles between the stores. Good management in a store can make or break a store and sales.
