Pros

Big brand. Opportunities to learn larger scope marketing.

Cons

Target Marketing: Incompetent leadership. Toxic environment. Insanitary financial administration. Poor vision of the future. Some key changes in leadership and focus have made Target lose the strong brand equity it built in the 1990s and reduce a former marketing power house to a community of bottom-feeders more concerned with their own inner culture than with developing solid strategies to stay relevant in the current market.

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.
