Pushing out the older experienced workers for fresh out of college kids with no work ethic,

Business Outlook

Pros

Good starting job, friendly atmosphere, good discount. Good hours and vacation pay. Felt like a team and was able to move up in the company easily enough.

Cons

Changing atmosphere at Target pushing the college grads in and the experienced older leaders out. Work hard with no breaks even though you are supposed to take them. Too much work to be done in the time permitted. Physically exhausting.
