Pros

10% discount at Target Headquarters is in downtown Minneapolis Free Samples There is really nothing beneficial from a career development or work/life balance stand point that is worth mentioning.

Cons

99% of people working there care more about what you look like and wear than what you offer intellectually - coming from someone who is somewhat fashionable. Management would rather "bucket" you into categories than listen to your ideas or allow you to develop. This didn't happen to me, but I saw it happen to a lot of really good people and hard working individuals. I left only because of the poor treatment of others. Watching good people with families being treated so bad that they quit just so Target doesn't have to claim more "Layoffs" is a poor way to do business. If you have a family (or plan to) your career will be over the second that little bundle arrives. Either that, or you will have to hire someone else to raise your kids. But hey, they give 1% of the money from credit card purchases to local schools, however, 75% of the people they approve for those cards shouldn't qualify. Someone could really write a book about how Target is the worst company ever.
