Pros

Great mentorship Encouraged to fail -- the only expectation is to learn Great work-life-balance Weekly informal checkins with your manager, this allows you to communicate any needs you might have related to work or life Target really encourages you to explore their tech teams before your "final placement"

Cons

Being virtual can be a little lonely and hard to network, but everyone is cool with "Get To Know You" (GTKY) invites so you can schedule a zoom meeting just to chat and get to know the person

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
