Avantages
At Target, there is ample opportunity to advance for top performers. Promotion is based on performance and not seniority. The pay is very competitive, and it is possible to increase your starting salary quickly by way of good performance and promotions.
Inconvénients
Target places too much emphasis on needing a college degree to work in a leadership position, or move from an existing leadership position, where one has already proven their abilities to another leadership position. Around 2005, Target decided this was mandatory for all new hires and Executives who were already in position. This has resulted in Target placing some Executives in position solely because of they possessed a degree, resulting in some awesome failures!
