Pros

Target has a good reputation within the community. It is seen as an upscale position to be in their management team. You get a 10% discount on everything at the stores.

Cons

They give just about anyone with a college degree the opportunity to take on a leadership role. Although this can be seen as a positive, for the most part its a negative because you get people right out of college(usually between 21-22) with no experience trying to boss older people with more years of experience around.

Pros

the pros for this position is definalty the feel of working there, its like everyone is working hard to make the experiance a good one. Makes working their loads easier when you dont have to worry about co-workers being jerks. The managers and team leaders are very understanding.

Cons

cons are obviously the low pay and slow process of getting raises, (it takes a whole year). You really have to work hard to show that your a valuble asset but once they u do they will begin to respect and work more closely with you. Some people can be prissy, but more often then not its the guest that will bring you the most grief.
