Pros

Gain experience for future management positions. It will be easy for individuals to move to another retailer and move into a more powerful management position. There is something to be said about the opportunities to grow at target; however, you have to be willing to relocate. Target employs very conservative people and if you are not willing to be positive and work hard, you will not go far with target.

Cons

Low growth potential, low pay, and few benefits. You can get more pay and benefits working at McDonalds with less responsibility. There is a chance that you could find yourself working for a poor boss. You must make good with your team lead, because you are really on your own.

Pros

Stable and great work environment. Some of the mangers are very supportive of the employee while some does the Mega Micro Management which it really hurts. But for the last 3 yrs Target has opened shop in India and slowly moving all the development work there. There are some really good people who have advanced very well in short period of time. Overall I would say it's a great place to be for the job stability and for women to work.

Cons

You have to take very active role to get promoted to the next level. It's not that you get to the next level after some years of work.

Pros

If you are going to school and need flexible working hours I would suggest target. They have some very lenient policies on scheduling and for vacation and time off. They are very ubiquitous with their transportationa nd outside activities.

Cons

They hire outside management so they usually have no idea how to do your job or how best to communicate down.
