Pros

Team members are cool normal people.

Cons

When i worked at Target there were two guys named Josh. One was black, one was white. Both cool guys, easily distinguishable. Our HR lady needed black Josh, but instead of referring to him as black - she named every single other attribute to dance around the obvious distinction of skin color/race. This is management in a nutshell. Overly PC to the point where you have to tip toe when talking to them. Don't challenge existing company ideas or you might get canned. Steve Jobs would hate Target.

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.
