Pros

Target is a very good company to work with if managers have some sense. Innovative projects and tech stack.

Cons

Politics, politics, politics everywhere. You cannot escape these politics. Complaints on managers are never taken seriously. Discrimination is evident. Managers halt the growth of talented people. No respect for skill and talent. Only people who have contacts can survive here. Not good work but being "yes sir" to managers will help you grow. The manager I worked under, is just surviving on the contacts he has at office. He is a serial offender and many women complained on him. Women have quit because of him and also mentioned this to HR. Yet, he gets all the support from the company.

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.
