Pros

A small discount on all of the great products. I've heard that working in senior management is great training for college grads looking to move up in sales/retail/human resources. For a regular team member, however, it is somewhat dire.

Cons

The lowest pay possible and they expect you to do a lot of work, including many duties which are not covered in your job description. One cashier I know was told that because she was "one of the most responsible cashiers", she was being selected to be trained to clean the bathrooms on occasion. What a reward! Management is idiotic. I have a B.A. from a great school and had to temporarily take this job out of desperation. But even someone who has no degree would find the experience discouraging. There are plenty of employees who have worked there for over a decade and have not been promoted in any way, and they're not bad workers either. Employee dissatisfaction s high (and customer service is poor) due to the low pay - Target can surely afford to pay a little more than they do, or offer more of a raise than 5 cents every three months. Come on!

Pros

The location I worked for had a great group of people... *Their RF system pretty much does all the guess work for you *Fulfillment, drive-up, and ship positions are fun to work

Cons

The amount of experience I have in fulfillment order processing exceeds the starting pay scale... *Everywhere is short-staffed *Their call-in policy is to call the store; you can't really get a hold of anyone, and there is an option for call-in on the app, but it is considered a no-call no-show if you don't call the store. You should be able to call in on the app, and that should be enough. It's double the work.
