Pros
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my job at Target. I was a Sr. TL which meant that I was a TL over the Softlines area while I also had LOD responsibilities. It was the perfect amount of responsibility as I wasn't stressed out about the same things the Execs had to deal with (scheduling, longer hours, etc.) but I still had more responsibilities than a Team Lead at the store. Target, more than any other job, really encourages the team members to get along and they hire bubbly, fun people who are pretty easygoing in general, with some exceptions. The benefits (health insurance, vacation, etc.) are great and the leadership and HR team work with you to help you figure out the best plan for you. If the Store Manager sees talent in you, they will move you up quickly through the ranks. As long as you have a college degree and you prove yourself in the job, management wants to see you become an Exec.
Kontras
The downsides of working at Target are relative to retail in general. You have to be available for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so in that regard, the work/life balance is called into question.
