Pros

Very flexible with their hours and great opportunity to move up. I applied here after being a stay-at-home-mom for a number of years and cashiering is a very simple job. It is easy to do and it is great to get out of the house. They are very strict about making sure you get your breaks that are required by law. The other people that work there all seem to like their jobs and everyone has a general upbeat view of their position in the company. One thing I like is the anonymity of working with 350+ employees in one store. That can be good or bad I guess. Oh! The 10% discount is nice!

Cons

Scheduling can be messy but they are always willing to work with you. It is annoying that you tell them you are available 20 hours per week but they schedule you 30 hours per week anyway. Sometimes they schedule you 6 days out of the week and think it is no big deal. They need to hire more hourly workers. They need to stop penciling in shifts that don't work with my availability. You have to be an advocate for yourself about the scheduling or else they will walk all over you until you say something.

Pros

The best reason to work at Target is that you get an employee discount on things. It's not much but with high gas prices and inflation, i'll take it. Antother good thing is that they will hire almost anyone that has a brain, it's great if you are early in your career to gain experience to put on a resume.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Targer is there is not much opportunity for advancement. In addition, around Christmas and other holidays, your have long hours, Plus, standing on your feet all day takes its toll on your back, legs and feet.
