Pros

Target is a great place to learn the fundamentals for long-term leadership positions. There is a ton of training and information, it is a very data driven company. Information is shared freely and you are expected to understand and articulate your impact on the process and performance of your building.

Cons

There is a challenge of work/life balance. It was not unusual to work a 60 hour work week and it be perceived as not enough. I was not allowed to take time to have surgery because "it wasn't good for the business or the store."

Pros

The location I worked for had a great group of people... *Their RF system pretty much does all the guess work for you *Fulfillment, drive-up, and ship positions are fun to work

Cons

The amount of experience I have in fulfillment order processing exceeds the starting pay scale... *Everywhere is short-staffed *Their call-in policy is to call the store; you can't really get a hold of anyone, and there is an option for call-in on the app, but it is considered a no-call no-show if you don't call the store. You should be able to call in on the app, and that should be enough. It's double the work.
