Pros

Very straight-forward job, you learn everything in training. You can pave your own path at Target and are given a lot of independence to take on projects and captainships. Great work life balance and lots of young, motivated people.

Cons

Not the best corporate culture.. almost everybody is from Minnesota, born and raised. Not a ton of work perks, and only a 10% discount.

Pros

Target offers competitive salary and benefits for its full time employees with bonus. There are flexible work hours, meaning that there is flexibility to work from home if you have an appointment during the day, or if you have a sick child. As long as you're completing the tasks needed for your job and not missing any large milestone meetings there is understanding if you need to work from another location, even if it is to get away from the desk in order to focus on a task or strategy without distraction.

Cons

Once you reach a certain point in your career there is a high level of competition when trying to level up. Target hires strong talent, so it is more difficult to differentiate yourself in the crowd of bright and talented people.
