Business Outlook
Pros
Target is an extremely friendly and development-oriented company. It places a lot of emphasis on formal reviews and training--ongoing communication with levels above and below ensures strong information flow. It would be a great place to start a career or to intern: CEOs seem to come from the very lowest ranks and work all the way up. The employees are very social people, with a great deal of openness both personally and professionally.
Cons
Analytical aptitude is not valued at the lower levels, with many incoming college graduates being trained well in marketing and image management but not familiar with basic analytical methodologies. Complex work is dismissed too easily.
