Pros

For a fresh grad with no experience its a sizable income. New grads come in with no real work skills at 49K

Cons

You are evaluated in first 3 months. This will dictate your career at Target. Since many things are out of your control i.e. who your trainer is, what store you end up, how the etl before you left the department there is a high rate of failure. Target likes to hire young, thin, athletes. Those employee are fast tracked well above proven professionals. If you don't fit that model look elsewhere or you will find yourself stuck wherever you came in at.

Pros

Great opportunity for those who just graduated from college. The overnight logistics team is awesome.

Cons

I can't really say for the moment, i have just started. But other peers complain about long hours during dayside shifts.

Pros

benefits- very affordable healthcare 10% discount on everything- groceries, clothes, movies...

Cons

ceiling of 'team lead' without a degree, and they love to hire 'business majors' as execs, who have zero experience.... no raises no hours lying by management having eight different bosses no accountability going downhill rapidly....due to poor pay and hours, quality employees are leaving and being replaced with a lower caliber of worker no transparency there is a pay maximum for every position, no matter skill/experience
