Avantages
You can advance quickly and most people change jobs every 2 year so its not boring. There is a lot of available movement in between different areas of the company: merchandising, finance, IT...
Inconvénients
Definitly a cult of personality. Far to much weight is put on your personality and "bubbliness" versus your actual job skills. With so much movement between pyramids, many managers don't have the technical skill sets for jobs they are given. Working at Target feels like being in middle school. People (even male managers) gossip constantly and there are mine fields of cliques to navigate. Be prepared that any feedback you give (personal or technical) will be turned around as a criticism of you. There is no black or white, only grey that you have to market yourself through.
