Pros

Discount, flexibility, and night shift opportunity for students. Working nights can be fun - the store is closed and you can do your job at your pace. We almost always had opportunity to work more hours. Management sometimes provided free dinner / snacks to night employees.

Cons

Not much by way of promotion availability. It's retail - you generally have to work with some pretty uncompetent peers who make the same blanket wage as you do. Holidays are almost mandatory. Generally, you couldn't do your work and go home. You were always asked to help someone else in their area to complete the job- many "milked" the hourly clock and therefore took 4 hours to do a job that should've took one - understandable from one perspective given it was the only job they had to pay their bills.

Pros

Great benefits. Match your 401K 1:1 up to 5%. Direct Deposit for all employees, very accurate computer system for keeping track of your hours worked. Don't have to be worried about getting screwed over. They run their company by the book. Won't let you work over 6 hours without taking a lunch, 45 minute lunches, and two 15 minute breaks (per 8 hour shift).

Cons

Depending on your position, the hours may not be very good. Like any job, senior management competency is hit and miss.

Pros

While Target can be humdrum sometimes, the way the whole team in a store works together is amazing. I've never been in a workplace I felt more comfortable with my coworkers and superiors. While we can have our hours cut when things are bad, we are given opportunities to pick more up to fill schedule gaps. Also, we are encouraged to drive sales to bring in more profit and thus more hours. In the end Target is whatever job you make it. Want to be lazy? Fine, you can do that. You'll reap what you sow. Want to work hard? It'll pay off with promotional opportunity and praise.

Cons

Pay is not that great and hours quickly get cut in times of a slow market.
