Pros

It can be a good place to work. The air conditioner is wonderful. The employees are great.

Cons

No one cares about you as a person. They group everyone togrther. If you haven't got a college degree or if you are over a certain age then they push you out the door, if you are in management. I thought I could be with this company and retire with it, but it's a shame that the people that have been with the company for years, that helped grow the company need to go . They bring these people in who know nothing about retail and just because they have the college degree. That is I suppose to be the most important thing for the company. What a shame. I use to live, breathe, and eat Target. Now I don't even shop there and I discourage others from shopping there as well.

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.
