Pros

When I began with Target in 2003, their pharmacy program was the best available. They were the first large company to put medication descriptions on the label - now law in many states. The bottle redesign was forward thinking and the culture was patient focused. Staffing and support was the best of any position I looked at. I believe that they can rediscover that excellence as I still see the store level pharmacists as being patient centered and caring.

Cons

Pharmacy is no longer independent of Store Management. Current pharmacists have no say in hiring for open pharmacist positions. The promise of a new computer system has been made and retracted several times as Target insisted it be an internal propriety development. This has left them far behind in technology and I believe that it has lead to safety issues.

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.
