Pros

If you enjoy helping people out then Target is the job for you. A very clean and friendly environment to work at. They have benefits and many volunteer events. I would recommend Target for students looking for a part-time job only. You can take time off, but you must request it before they create the schedule. This is not all Targets but most of them are have their good and bad, so you have to ask and look into it before applying.

Cons

Hard to move up in the company and not a great place to work if you have a family. The pay and raises is not worth it for all the work you have to do in a retail store. I have seen people work here for years and they give new postions to the new people. They cut hours and you cant get overtime.

Pros

Great coworkers, dental. Discount stacks with redcard, coupons, cartwheel, etc

Cons

Training isn't fully fleshed out. The discount is only 10%, but you can only use it with cash, redcard, ebt, or a gift card (which you can't fill with unapproved methods of payments for discount use). The discount isn't much, but it's just enough to get you to spend a lot of your money there. There are times when they give out assignments without fully describing how to do it. I'm 2 years in and still learning about things that I should've known in the beginning. They tout this work/life balance thing, but there isn't one. The store opens at 8am and closes at 11pm, so it's very possible that your shift will encompass the entire useful portion of the day. Hours are low, but they're still hiring, of course. The store is short-staffed all the time, until there's a planned visit, in which everyone will have a shift the day before in order to get everything done just to fake it. Visits don't invoke improvement if it appears that your store is always perfect. It's a farce. I could go on and on, but the moral of the story is that they're no different, no better than walmart. They just pretend to be.
