Pros

It is a fun and fast-paced environment. You meet a variety of people, and it is easy to make new friends. You also learn a great deal about customer service.

Cons

Like most jobs in retail for a large company, one of your responsibilities is to ask guests to open up credit cards. Sometimes it is stressful when you are unable to sign enough people up for these credit cards because the number of cards you open is part of your employee review. Also, like most jobs working with the public, some people are very nice and respectful, and others are... not so nice and respectful. Just remember not to take it personally if a guest becomes upset with you. If you are doing your best, there really isn't more that can be done. There are plenty of other guests that will appreciate your hard work.

Pros

This position pushes you out of your comfort zone. You learn a holistic perspective of retail management/operations. You have to learn to analyze reports, manage teams, merchandise, handle guest situations, etc. Target has good training and is really focused on development. As an intern, you have the opportunity to interact with district leaders. Campus recruiting maintains good relationships with Target interns throughout the process.

Cons

The hours are the biggest downside. As an intern, you are capped at 40 hours a week, so you can't really begin to understand the hours that ETLs put in. Also, at times you feel like you are doing the exact same work as a team member. It really makes you think if you went to college to push tubs/zone areas/be a backup cashier, etc. Also, working at a store level really confines you to many corporate restrictions. There isn't much room to exercise creativity.
