Pros
Target offers a cutting-edge work experience in so many ways. The corporation does a great job of keeping up with technological changes and innovations, for example.
Cons
But Target is not cutting-edge in enabling employees to work reasonable hours. Particularly after the Great Recession of 2008, Target was not good at ramping up their hiring to alleviate unsustainable workloads. Bungled rollouts of a new Target.com website and expansion to Canada certainly contributed to this, and former CEO Gregg Steinhafel certainly deserves discredit for this. Perhaps the new CEO, an external hire who arrived in August 2014, can make progress on this.
