A fun place to work.

Pros

The atmosphere is great, I get along with my coworkers and I enjoy my time at work. The benefits are just what I need at this point in my life. I have received several promotions in a short time that have added to my satisfaction within the company. The salary leaves something to be desired for me, but I believe that it is competitive. I simply have higher expectations for myself. Overall, Target is a very feedback based community and it is enjoyable being around so many people that you can learn so much from. Target has been a great place to get started in my career.

Cons

There is not much feedback from upper management until something is just about to roll out. It's a lot of wait and see.

Pros

Great benefits compared to other retail companies, atmospehere and the other people you end up working with are great.

Cons

Management is all from outside hires, inexperienced works best for Target. You see it daily, how experienced people that know the ins and outs of the company are passed over for some 20 year old that started their first ever job at Target.

A once-great company that's getting too big too quickly

Pros

The company has a great reputation in the general public, and it's nice to hear how much people love shopping there.

Cons

In the time I've been with the company, I've seen the company become less focused on its people and more focused on goals, metrics, and "unfunded mandates"; by that last one, I mean that the company sends down goals and new plans for store teams to execute, but they never give the teams the tools they need to accomplish these new directives i.e. more payroll.
