Pros

They do a great job with Leadership Development, and you learn to deal with constantly changing environments, which can be helpful.

It is a good company to have on your resume.

You will share a trauma bond with all the leaders you worked with, and it is a great networking point when you meet someone that also worked at Target.

Cons

I see so many new interns coming through, and I just want to tell them all to get out now. Target will work you to the bone; they do not care about your mental health or your life outside of work. There are so many other jobs out there where you make more and you aren't breaking your back and spending 24/7 at a store. I know far too many people that worked at Target that are on anxiety meds because the pressure is too much.

Advice to Management

Give your leaders support, and by support I mean payroll. The expectations are far too high for the amount of people you have working in store.
