Pros

It is so easy to get a job at Target. And of course that 10% discount is a plus. People are very nice and friendly - well most of them are.

Cons

Scheduling - you can not request a scheduling change if you haven't worked for six months. As a cashier, closing is the worst schedule you can have. You have to helped out clean the store before you can go home and that goes until 1 or 2 in the morning and worst, you have to open the next day. Compensation - not very good, although it is about the same as other retail stores. But if your schedule sucks, the $7/hour does not seem to be worth it. Bathroom duties - yuck! Cleaning bathrooms is definitely not listed on the job description for a Cashier! Target makes a lot of sales - they should be able to put some of it for day custodians! Or hire just for day custodians.

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.
