Great place to work!

Pros

They have great people who work there....there is more to do there because everyone goes to target to shop as opposed to wal-mart or k-mart. Also, the walkie talkies help a lot but the people tend to give seniority to those who've worked there longer.

Cons

The hours just aren't as concrete as I want them to be.

Pros

The are flexible with the work hours. I am a student and needed to work a certain amount of hours and they allowed me to do that.

Cons

The pay is terrible, i don't understand how anyone working there as an only job can get by. It's ok if you have another job, and use Target for extra spending money. They work you hard for little pay. Ecspecially during the holidays it was brutale. Cleaning up after all the messy customers, putting back they junk they sold was aweful.

Pros

Target is flexible with hours and tend to not hire idiots. Customer service is stressed as it should be. This is a place that really tries to work with employees so they have a life outside of work. There are quite open lines of communications within the store which is a welcome relief from what I was used to in the past. All in all, it is a pretty content group of people. I am new at the job, within the past two months, but so far it has been a decent place to work. All seem to work together well.

Cons

Well, it is a retail store so the hours can be early or late. Around the holidays do not plan on traveling as that is the busy time of year. That is ok because I have always, except for two years, had such positions. If you are on the Flow team or on the sales floor you will be on your feet almost all day in case that matters. The customers are really not bad. Most are in fact quite decent. Rude employees who do not take care of customers will not like to work here as customer service is very importaint.
