Pros

The best reason in my opinion was how easy it is to get a job there and the flexibility due to their extended hours. In addition, being a cashier gave me experience I may never have again after graduating from college. The basic day to day functions are best found when working as a cashier as you have interaction with both other employees as well as customers. Finally, Target is very open to hiring college students with relatively little or no experience, which is great for those who did not work through high school as many in this day and age do not.

Cons

Downsides include opening and closing shifts.

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.
