Pros

Target has great opportunities with a great mix of work life balance. I appreciate that there are opportunities to move across the company and try out different roles. The culture is young and fresh and hip. HQ is in downtown Minneapolis so many team events take advantage of the surroundings with aides to the FFF (fast, fun, and friendly culture).

Cons

With the young culture also come clickiness. This sometimes prevents opportunities to move up based on personal opinions. Additionally, I was encouraged to engage in network activities as part of FFF by my direct manager, but upon switching teams I was not supported and this prevented me from further career opportunities. Also pay is mediocre and vacation is not good as it matches what is granted to store employees.

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.
