Pros

It was an enjoyable work environment with lots of young people (recent college or MBA grads). The location of the HQ is also in the prime place in Minneapolis.

Cons

The company does like to develop people. This creates some problems though. Lots of the leaders in the company began their careers working in a store and were promoted for their leadership. While this is good, it also creates a lot of high level managers without much business expertise outside of Target. As a result, too much decision making is done off of intuition than off of data (an asset that Target has much of but uses little).

Pros

The headquarters has a relatively young population. This created a fun work environment. The company also respected its employees. There was very flexible work arrangements for people with families. Though I didn´t have a family, I was happy my co-workers had the ability to shuffle work around daycare and child illnesses.

Cons

The company made more decisions based off of intuition than off of analytics. I feel this is changing with the new CEO, Steinhafel, but it still surprised me how often sound suggestions would be completely rejected because of a manager´s feelings. I would regularly receive feedback that I couldn´t use basic statistics in explaining my rationale for a business idea. The company has a warped perspective of diversity. Managers are incentivized to retain and to build diverse teams. However, when I pressed for HR´s definition of diverse, they said that it was purely skin deep. To be diverse, you have to be non-white. Prior to recession, the company spent money like it was going out of style. The recession was probably a good thing because it created a reality check for upper management.

Pros

I believe that the best reason to work for Target lies in the people that the company brings on to work along side you. Other staff are very professional and also fun, and that makes a work day go by much easier. The hours are manageable and the pay is decent as well. Supervisors often give quality feedback about the nature of your work.

Cons

Personally, I do believe that this can be frustrating at times though because people mess around too much and don't get work done. For example, some employees surf online for much of their day time working hours and this can be frustrating to others.
