Pros

Working for a large name brand will always open doors and opportunities. It comes at a cost. Education benefits are quite strong. If you’re looking to get your bachelors, certifications, etc., the company could be a good fit for a period of time.

Cons

The AI summary of the reviews really nails the experience: Report of a toxic culture and favoritism really create a divide. Micromanagement and poor communication Advancement is limited and rarely based on merit While Target may seem like a dream employer, the culture and politics can be stifling for those who aren’t Target lifers. Any new ideas or improvements are often seen as a threat so proceed with caution.

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.
