Pros

Overall, it's not a bad place to work for some extra money---don't feel it is a place to work long-term for most people.

Cons

I wish there was more opportunities for advancement for the employees who already work in the store. The pay isn't great, but what do you expect for an entry-level retail position? Since there are so many employees working different hours, it's hard to get to know co-workers....some days it feels like you are working with a bunch of strangers. I've worked at other retail stores and didn't feel this way. On occasion, you don't always get a lunch break at a reasonable time which is tough if you've been on the register for an extended amount of time and need to use the restroom.

Pros

Awesome working conditions as far as store cleanliness, etc. Various tasks and ways of organizing the sales floor seem to make a lot of sense. Target has put a lot of time and development into making our processes some of the most efficient in the retail industry. Almost everyone who works here seems to be friendly and helpful. Hard work is recognized and rewarded. I would have to say that the organization of management makes more sense than someplace like wal-mart. I also like that senior management as a whole seem skilled at every job in the store. Not much else to say.

Cons

Bleh, lots of strange ways of doing things.

Pros

The people. I've met many of my best friends in my 9 years at Target. Of course there are always a few 'less than stellar' people, but those are discovered and dealt with over time. The opportunities. I started as a cashier in college and made a career path for myself. I'm now in a salaried position where I feel that I personally make an impact through my work. The ethics. Committed to doing the 'right' thing. The fun. It's Target!! It's a culture in and of itself. I really believe that we're better than the competition in every way. I was offered a similar position with a competitor making much more and refused.

Cons

It's a large company and there will always be some degree of 'politics' to deal with.
