Pros

The job is somewhat flexible as to part-time vs full-time. Therefore, it meets the needs for family life. The team is very warm and welcoming. The training is good. The benefits are great even at the part-time level.

Cons

The need to work several nights, weekends, and holidays. The turn-around of staff leaving continual vacancies that need to be filled. This then impacts the ability to swap shifts if needed or taking time off if needed. There is limited growth professionally. The availability of management positions is limited and the positions are not broad in function so growth is somewhat limited there too.

Pros

Target's committment to the community. Not only do they committ alot of money each year but they committ volunteer hours. It is amazing how many team members love to give of their free time - to volunteer activities. I also believe it is contagious - as you cant help but want to participate - when you see the joy and enthusiasm surrounding all the various activities. Along with this - is their commitment to the Target House. Seeing and hearing the personal experiences from families who have used the facility - brings tears to my eyes each time. That is when you know what you are a part of - is making a true difference.

Cons

It use to be - that age didnt matter. As Target has grown - it has become apparent that it does matter and that experience no longer is valued.
