Pros

Development was extremely beneficial. If working in a high volume store, you are bound to either sink or swim but either way it makes you strong.

Cons

Work way too many hours. No work life balance. If you want to go to school or have a personal life, then just forget it

Pros

-Great pay. They pay $10-20k more than comparable positions at other retailers -Room to grow. I received three promotions in my five years. If they think you're worth their time, they'll invest in your development -Community Events are a great way to give back

Cons

-Work/life balance is horrid but this is retail -Benefits leave much to be desired -LOD shifts can take away from your work center's duties -They shove REDcard (Target's credit card) conversion quotas down your throat
