Pros

Getting enough hours to qualify for healthcare, steady 36-38 hrs

Cons

Pay could be better With new Target initiative, all employees are getting the same pay whether you’ve been there 4 months or 4 years. All merit raises you achieved over the years you basically lost. Also a lot of associates got there days cut from 4 to 2 days, yet their still hiring. Not enough qualified team members scheduled to get the job done. Guests always commenting on how empty the shelves are.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
