Target - Ehh...

Pros

The Discount. Really that's about it.

Cons

They want you to be available for all shifts. Will often try to work you for 6 hours at a time. That means you have to be willing to work 6-7 days a week to make any money. The work is repetitive and menial. Your boss puts you under tremendous amounts of pressure to get the job done, looking the other way if you take short cuts. But once the bosses boss finds out, prepare to be lectured on the Target way to do things, and how you shouldn't take short cuts.

Pros

The Target I was employed at treated most employees with respect. Good management makes a big difference.

Cons

Hours can be irregular. Lots of cross-selling, they really push credit cards with high interest rates.

Pros

Target offers its executive team leaders a very nice salary and benefits package. Depending on what store you are working in you could have a great career at Target or you could hate it. At stores I trained at, things where great, but when I got to my home store it sucked

Cons

Retail is not for everyone. Depending on what store you are working at it can be better than others, but retail can really suck at times. You have to be a strong individual to deal with guest and team members. At the same time you have to be fast fun and friendly
