Pros
Stable company that provides real opportunity for advancement and/or job changes. Also, if you like retail, Target does for the most part live up to its claim to value work/life balance (even during the holidays), so you really will work a mostly five day work week and have every other weekend off, which is rare in retail.
Cons
You will get tired of people getting tired of people thinking they are the first to tell you they call the store "Tar-zhay." Seriously, though, you have to accept that to to advance to upper level jobs you will need to fit the culture of the company. Also, you must be willing to work half your weekends and some nights unless you are not in the stores.
