Pros

The schedule is flexible, some positions are early, others are late. Easy to work around other responsibilities.

Cons

You really have to be a favorite to be able to move up within the company. New grads come in with no retail experience, never have worked with customers are all of a sudden in charge of you. Although the schedule is somewhat flexible, many times you have to be there at 5/6am or as late as 11/12pm way before the store opens or after it closes. Employees with families or kids cannot be at work that late, especially at Target. Other times, the pay is way to low and you are expected to pull way beyond what should be considered your own weight, to pick up others slack.
