Pros

The compensation program was great in the beginning; however, soon after they say the stock options are great, but unforatunately, the stock is tanking due to upper management.

Cons

Advancement. Unless you were from the midwest or Target, you had no shot for promotion opportunities. The best one was when I was passed over as "not enough" experience, yet they hired someone 10 years younger with a Target backgound as an STL for 2 years and asked me to train them as a DMIT.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
