Pros

-paid breaks -diverse staff - nice break room -there is often free food/ special events in the break room (like movie night, free ice cream, etc)

Cons

-uniform (I go through a lot of khakis and red shirts) -I often have to do things besides what backroom team members do, such as stocking the store, even Team Leaders and ETL"s have to do this! it is lowly in my opinion) -I'm very good at this job, but I feel working at target and retail in general is a lowly field

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
