Business outlook
Pros
It's essentially an easy place to work. As it's a huge company, no one bothers you much if you're on the lower rungs, and you're able to offer plenty of suggestions or just take things into your own hands. The non-discrimination policy is great, and people are as respectable as you can expect in a capitalist environment.
Cons
It promotes sweatshop practices, or at least factories in developing nations where employees are not paid nearly enough. As Target is as big as it is, a lot of the departments are extremely separated from one another - at times it's very hard to know what's going on in another part of the company without a phone tree going 30 deep.
