Pros

Good for college students needing to work part time. Discount on all purchases. Meet some nice people who work hard.

Cons

Will hire and not fire any incompetent loser off the street. Good people who work hard get treated poorly while workers that socialize and do nothing keep their jobs. Senior mgt not focused on well fare of team members....only their careers and opportunity for advancement.

Pros

The pros are it is a job the doesn't require a lot of skill or experience of course.

Cons

The pay and opportunities for advancement don't seem worth it in the long term, it is more of a job then a career. More or less it is what you would expect from working there.

Pros

Supplemental income or work your way up from the bottom while attending college. 10% discount.

Cons

You cannot get a supervisory position without a College degree at Target so your work experience only takes you so far. The turn over at Target is so high because of the low wage. They dont invest in there employees probably do to the turnover. There training is very limited and you are given equipment and basically left to figure it out on your own. Some of the leaderhip has a very "Im the Sh&%" attitude and sit around and talk about the employees instead of offering them proper training and giving them the knowledge they need to succeed. Dealing with extremely immature individuals. Under paid over worked...the list goes on and on.
