Pros

During my time there they were great about scheduling me according to my availability and requested (non-paid) days off as long as they were submitted early enough. The pay is also on the higher end of what you'll find in retail and part-time jobs so that's what kept me going throughout my seasonal position.

Cons

Even when you've zoned an area thoroughly, it's never good enough and it. never. ends. Every time I was working on something (pickups, hanging/folding clothes, reshop, etc.) a supervisor or manager would come up and tell me to go over the whole zone again even when I had so many other things to attend too. Hard work was never recognized and they really ride your butt about getting EVERYTHING done perfectly in a timely manner when over and over even with a whole team of people working it was NEVER enough time/manpower.

Pros

Hours are usually good. The people are fun to work with. I am able to interact with all kinds of different people. Because Target is close to a military base.

Cons

I do not always get to merchandise. Slowly my duties were phased out as a merchandiser. Now I am just a glorified stocker.
