      Pros

      At Target, there is ample opportunity to advance for top performers. Promotion is based on performance and not seniority. The pay is very competitive, and it is possible to increase your starting salary quickly by way of good performance and promotions.

      Cons

      Target places too much emphasis on needing a college degree to work in a leadership position, or move from an existing leadership position, where one has already proven their abilities to another leadership position. Around 2005, Target decided this was mandatory for all new hires and Executives who were already in position. This has resulted in Target placing some Executives in position solely because of they possessed a degree, resulting in some awesome failures!

      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.
