It was a fine opportunity.

Creative manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Target had a really well-defined brand and a Senior Leadership that was excited to always be moving the needle. There were many opportunities for career advancement for those that were bright and ambitious. I can really say that I learned a lot about business, smart creative and negotiating a complex socio-political dynamic.

Cons

Many of the truly great senior leaders are now gone and the brand seems to be going through something of identity crisis. As it's size increases, so does the bastian of bureaucracy. Ineffectual box-checkers are sometimes allowed to languish.

Senior data quality analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

day dreaming sleep in office good if you do not like to work and financially very strong to work without JOB someday.

Cons

I worked as a Senior Data Quality analyst and was forced to work under a 3 years junior . keep on insulting you till you get a job outside and resign. Target was good company 2-3 years back but now they want to get rid of people. they hire new people and force the old employees to resign. Senior management do not have anything to Do. They are only involved in Politics. you can learn more in a BPO then in Target. 0 job security in business teams or business data quality.

For part time workers only. Hire as full time, but only give you 2-3 days a week.

Sales floor team member

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the Team Leads care about you. Free lunch every now and then when the store is making sales. Pay is slightly higher than your average retail by 25-50 cents. Great job for students who cannot work 40 hours a week.

Cons

They expect you to be available every day, but only schedule you for 2-3 days a week. The only time you will get more than 7 hours and 15 minutes a day is during Black Friday and Christmas. They hire too many employees on purpose. It is so that they can call people in to work if someone calls out. You are starved for work hours so when they ask if you can come in of course you will say yes.
