Pros
Target is a good starter company for first time workers, it provides a oppertunity to learn various aspects of the retail industry since you are able to move positions rather easily. The benefits are among the best I have seen within competing companys which is one of the major reasons I have stayed as long as I have. As a new employee every one is very friendly and they have a fairly indepth training process which is looked at with respect from other companies when your prepared to leave. It is a good job for those with children and they are willing to work around schedules.
Cons
Once abord with the company you begin to see the truth behind the mask, the company is deathly affraid of offending certian minoritys (one in perticular) and goes out of its way to cater to them to the point of making everyone else feel uncomfortable. The company has dramaticly cut senior positions within stores and the few that are remaining are nearly impossable to get. Only those people who walk in the door with a yes sir attitude have a chance to further their carriers, this requires you to put blinders on and completly ignore the truth about whats going on. Management continualy makes promises the cannot keep and then denies that the made them.
