Pros
The executive teams at most stores that I have been in work together and bond, taking pride in turining around what are deemed "red" stores.
Cons
Advancement/development opportunities not based upon experience/performance/education but rather if you are chosen as a "HiPo" based upon whether you are "Target brand" (how you look, dress, smooze, who you know, etc). Target categorizes it's people and once you are pegged as something, you are stuck with that stigma. Preach work-life balance but do not practice it. If you try to put family first, generally, you are criticized for doing so. They have no problem expecting you to work on days off or work 14-18 hour days without any added compensation.
