Before I saw what was read in this thread I had never heard anything good or bad about target. I did a search and the first thing I saw was a testimonial from a disgruntled worker, some guy who after recieving two pay raises decided the managers wanted him out, therefore he quit. Not enough to draw any conclusion on.
The second was about some internet myths regarding their treament of veterans and contributions to veteran issues on snoops.com:

All in all, I'm not finding much about Target. Mostly anectdotal things on message boards and you can't put much stock in those things.
It's easy to find WalMart stuff but they are a huge target and everyone likes to overthrow the King. I have my personal experience with WalMart but that's just me. Maybe I was just a shitty worker, I don't know. I am biased because I had a personal stake in it.
