Pros

Shifts are never too long, always work to be done so you rarely feel time slowly passing by, coworker comradery is fun, team leads generally understand and are on the same page with you in terms of "just do whatever you can get done" instead of pressuring you to get certain things done in a given shift, and the 15% discount is nice, even if 5% of that is tied to you requiring getting a RED card, and is technically a 10% team member discount, and then the 5% is applied separately after that, so it's not really a full 15%, but I worked at Publix for 4 years and we never had a store discount, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cons

Work/life balance can be upset as you find yourself randomly working 6 days in a row, at the mercy of multiple people writing your schedule, so consistency can be hard to come by, and of course the holidays ask you for more of your time during the most hectic period of the year. Pay is fine but could always be better. Raises are done as a percentage, and frequently around 2%, so not much when we're talking $15/hr still. Specifically working in Food & Beverage/Market can be very physically demanding with unloading truck, pushing heavy palettes, and lifting boxes up to 40lbs. This extends to being put into OPUs at a moment's notice and potentially having to work "bulky" orders that require you to pick up anything from 35lbs of cat litter to furniture and other awkwardly oversized items. OPU culture in general needs modification. The whole idea of "every department has to drop what they're doing to pick this online order regardless of how important the job they're doing is" is annoying and points to a purposeful staffing issue where enough pickers are never hired in the first place to theoretically always offset having to ask this of other departments. It creates a culture where our jobs are never as important or pertinent as these online orders, which is something you'll have to reconcile with should you choose to work for Target. Everyone from department leads to HR gets put into them, so there's no escaping it.
