Pros

They offer great leadership experience and really push you to develop in role. There's always opportunity to improve at Target and there is a lot of time spent planning and discussing how to make the company better. Working in .com, you really get to be involved with the planning and decision making processes that have an impact on the entire network.

Cons

Expectations vary so much across the network that it really depends on the building you end up in. The work life balance is terrible and the turnover of senior management and middle management makes it difficult to develop yourself long term or have a long term strategy with your team. There's a lot of "shiney ball syndrome", because of the lacking job knowledge. The number of "high priority" initiatives rolled out on a regular basis is exhausting and there's no way to keep up with the additional workload without putting in time outside of your scheduled period on a weekly basis. Recognition from management is minimal and comes across as disingenuous. The growth you get from the experience is valuable but most people can expect to leave the company disgruntled.

Pros

Salary, benefits, schedule if you get the schedule you desire.

Cons

Leadership struggles to figure out what their priority is and how to communicate it affectively. Leadership also does NOT want you around when you hand in your resignation, and makes it very clear. I understand your employment being at will, but after my boss told me I would be protected through my resignation date if I wrote him a letter, I found 3 days later that Target "only accepts 2 weeks and my last day would be in 3 days." (I gave a notice of 4 weeks, as I was a manager and that has been the protocol I follow). On my last day, not a single member of upper management thanked me or said goodbye.
