Pros

Target has many different positions for almost anyone to work in. Everything from cashiers,sales and special teams. The competence level of the employees is generally good too. No matter what anyone says this is a job in which you must be able to rhink on your feet. Also computer skills are a very large part of the jobs available at target. It's a fast paced workplace and almost everyone trhere has to be able to step into whatever job is needed. Cashier training and a bunch of tests must be passed even to just work on the sales floor. If you do your job ok management preet much will leave you alone.

Cons

Not enough pay for a multi-skilled job, Benifits are pretty bad too. The probation period is 6 months not 90 days like many other places. Raises are few and far between. Overall a very tight company with salary and benefits.

Pros

If you prefer a job that is in retail and like to work 50 hour weeks then target is the company for you. Granted there is a ton of training you must go through at the beginning. Plus the company would like to see you grow. The culture is great depending on the store assignment and the area of town the employees come from.

Cons

READ THE FINE PRINT. The bonus is based on performance. They say you could get up to a certain amount but that is if you perfect in every way. NO one has ever achieved that level. To jump up a pay grade is even harder. Courses you must take and the hoops you must jump through are impossible. Another down side is the 50 hour weeks you must work. Also you get better discounts with coupons than the employee discount.

Pros

We are a "Fast, Fun, and Friendly" team. Everyone is easy to talk to and friendly. The management is great and helpful. Target is also VERY good with working around schedules so it is a great place for students to earn a little income. If you are planning on moving up the ladder in promotions, the executive team leaders are supportive in making you succeed.

Cons

The work/pay ratio is kinda low. Annual reviews only provide .10 to .50 cent increases.
