Pros

If you need quick money, and you're in college. I came to work at Target because I needed extra money in college. It fit the bill, literally. I put about a 5 dollar bill in my pocket every hour and was then able to afford to go out drinking with my buddies on the weekend.

Cons

You won't really make it very far. I wouldn't recommend being a cashier as a long term career. Unless you really like to play with scanners.

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.
