Pros

The job itself was very easy to learn and Target management was always available to train any further. My store was also very flexible when it came to scheduling and time off. I would reccomend working at Target to someone looking for a simple part-time job. I was in school the entire time I worked there and they were always very considerate of that. They were very supportive of me putting school before my job, which is rare to find in many places of employment.

Cons

The pay was so-so, but it was competitive with other similar retail chains. Hourly managers were often power-hungry and useless.

Pros

The development that they give to the executives that they see as having potential. I have spent countless hours, days and weeks working on my personal development in classes, with upper leadership and through self-reflection

Cons

The enormous pressure from upper leadership and the politics of the business

Pros

The salary is pretty good especially if you can work it out between opening new stores and getting training finished to advance pay grades. The managment on-going training is good and some of it is really helpful. If don't mind working hard and long hours it pays to work there

Cons

Beware of work-life balance. There is very little advancement without degree. Some brown nosing is required to get in good to move around and up. Could be a decent or bad experience depending on your boss.
