Vantaggi
Target's culture is unbeatable. Hard work is rewarded, and leadership at every level invests in the success of it's people. The technology in stores is at or above industry average. Think: registers, devices for team members, fulfillment capabilities. Compensation is top of the industry at every level. Medical benefits aren't the best, but salary/bonus and compensation for your team make you feel like the company rewards the work required to be successful in retail.
Svantaggi
Most of my cons revolve around the realities of the retail industry. Long hours, a lot of weekends and working in a business that thrives best around the holidays makes for a difficult work/life balance at times. There are some "down" times, around the spring and fall, but even then with remodels, the strength of your leadership team and other factors can still make carving out time with family difficult. For business partners or multi-unit leaders that don't have to engage in the "grind" of store leadership, this company and setup is fantastic. But for those in the brick and mortar every day, it can be a challenging and rigid setup. One last thing is that since there isn't a black and white system for attendance, leadership often has to "chase down" these situations to hold team members accountable. Our competitors have easy-to-understand systems in place to help with accountability in a busy environment.
