Pros

Employee discount, lot's of programs and benifits for current employees. The people in the trenches are fabulous and consistently try their best when it comes to looking out for it's customers and many customers show their appreciation something that you don't often see in a company with a retail background.

Cons

During the past year in a half I've seen a lot of change. In the past I was proud to tell people I worked for Target. It was a good company to work for. It used to be that Exectutives treated the employees working in the trenches with respect. In fact this used to be encouraged. Nowdays it seems at least in my division that the hourly employees are expendable. I've watched management go on what seems like witch hunts. It seems as if there are only 2 ways to go within this company that is up or out. Staying in one job for over 1 year is virtually a termination offense.

Pros

The peers that you work with tend to become like family to you. Some of the best resources in the retail market.

Cons

Some of the District management is not the best with working with people. Senior management really need to take Executives to the side and really talk to them. If a person goes over the District manager's head for some reason it seems like that person end up on corrective action not long after that. If people at the group level really likes this person then nothing is going to be done no matter if a group of people complain or one person.

Pros

They offer a lot of compensation: education reimbursement, adoption assistance, extending health benefits to domestic partners, as well as the usual 401K and pension. There are a host of different shifts to fit in your personal life. The discount is okay, only 10% but we get advanced notice of sales and first dibs on the clearance (hello 75% off seasonal!)

Cons

OMG, how many red shirt do I own??? The dresscode kind of sucks, but at least I don't have to wear a suit everyday. The atmosphere can kind of be political, like, you have to be in with the executives and district people to even be considered for a promotion.
