Pros

There are no pros of working here. They only behave well with you during interviews and before you join. After you join its all downhill.

Cons

Awful work. Nothing gets done here due to lots of politics. They are miles behind their competitors in technology. Forget about amazon, they cant even compete with companies like walmart. Things have started to go worse, due to competition from amazon. If you are on H1, completely avoid the company. The HR is straight off lying to h1 employees, promising them green card in 6 months. Once you join, the tune completely changes. The managers keep coming up with excuses and they are ready to completely jeopardize your career and life. The managers also behave very badly with employees, and do not show any appreciation for the hard work employees do. HR collects surveys about managers just for show, nothing comes out of it.

Pros

Target as a company is employee oriented and caring. If you are in a non IT environment, you would like it here.

Cons

If you are going to be in a team that works with the team in India, your life would be in hell. Nightly calls, lost communication, a gazillion emails to solve a simple problem, lack of context, unqualified individuals who got promoted to managers by means of favoritism. If you want a government type job that is relaxing without much accountability and quality, Target IT job may be for you.

Pros

Great starting pay. Employee discount and benefits. Merchandise is amazing, beautiful and fun to work with. Guest response to the new look is positive.

Cons

If you are an experienced VM this position will more than likely drive you mad. It's new for Target. Their idea for VM core roles are constantly changing. The hours and roles are not typical to most VM positions in other retail stores.
