Pros

Target is has a strong brand name and is respected as an innovative retailer. If you work at Target, people know that you've had solid work experience and know how to maneuver your way through a big company.

Cons

Target churns and burns through its business analysts. It's such a big company that everyone's role is really specialized at headquarters, so there is a lot of drudgery and spreadsheets and not a lot of creativity. Also, despite what Target recruiters say, finding out about other areas of the company and making lateral moves is difficult.

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.
