5. Target
Target is guest-obsessed—they seek to make well-designed products affordable—and that's changed little since the company's founding.

Target is loved by consumers. But, it’s loved just as much by its employees.
Ranked as #39 on Fortune Magazine’s list of the “World’s Most Admired Companies,” #10 on Fast Company’s 2016 list of the “Most Innovative Companies in Retail”, and #22 on DiversityInc magazine’s “Top 50 Companies for Diversity,” there’s no denying that Target is a great place to build a career.
