Pros

-Lots of support for investigations. -They give you a lot of training and leadership knowledge that you can use to get jobs with other companies. -If you like to get feedback on your performance, Target is the place for you. Target is a feedback oriented company, so you always know where you stand performance wise. They do not hesitate to tell you what you're doing write and wrong. -Target is very diverse -You can develop very quickly. There are many store managers who are in their mid to late 20's and make six figures.

Cons

Cannot break into management without a degree. NO EXCEPTIONS! Performance is 30%, ability to BS is 70%. Expectations can be unreasonable at times. They give you a lot of puzzles to solve with no resources to help you.

Pros

Very flexible schedule. Freedom to address issues from a number of angles. Most of the people are fun to work with. We used to do some fun things (cookouts, etc.) however, the new budgets have gotten rid of all fun for the most part. Target addresses issues of workplace harassment, wrongdoings, etc. with full vigor and attention. If you come to work and do a great job, you won't have any problems.

Cons

Money is TIGHT. The stores are literally hanging by strings, but of course, expectations only continue to rise. I realize that district management has a job to do, however, just a little honesty would go a long way with most people. It gets old pretending that everything in Target Land is perfect and always will be. Perhaps a little honesty and understanding would reach people more personally and get some extra motivation from the employees. Many team members are beginning to feel that they are inadequate, when what is really inadequate are the resources provided to them.

Pros

Target has it together. Compensation and benefits are very good. Training is comprehensive and relevant to the business, and is broken up into segments that allow you to experience the business while you complete training. For Assets Protection, the training now includes "LOD" or leader on-duty training that prepares an ETL-AP to run a store when necessary (usually two or more shifts per week). Target is very big on personal and professional growth.

Cons

The operational involvement (LOD) can conflict with the assets protection role and can prove frustrating. Target seems focused on promoting store managers (a.k.a. "STL"), and has done away with some more traditional career paths. ETLs-AP may have limited options beyond a single store assignment if their goals are AP (loss prevention) exclusive. The culture of Target dictates conformity: "Fast, fun, and friendly" is a mantra that you must live by to be successful here.
