Pros

Great benefits. Match your 401K 1:1 up to 5%. Direct Deposit for all employees, very accurate computer system for keeping track of your hours worked. Don't have to be worried about getting screwed over. They run their company by the book. Won't let you work over 6 hours without taking a lunch, 45 minute lunches, and two 15 minute breaks (per 8 hour shift).

Cons

Depending on your position, the hours may not be very good. Like any job, senior management competency is hit and miss.

Pros

While Target can be humdrum sometimes, the way the whole team in a store works together is amazing. I've never been in a workplace I felt more comfortable with my coworkers and superiors. While we can have our hours cut when things are bad, we are given opportunities to pick more up to fill schedule gaps. Also, we are encouraged to drive sales to bring in more profit and thus more hours. In the end Target is whatever job you make it. Want to be lazy? Fine, you can do that. You'll reap what you sow. Want to work hard? It'll pay off with promotional opportunity and praise.

Cons

Pay is not that great and hours quickly get cut in times of a slow market.

Pros

If you are a cart attendant you can just go outside and go to sleep and no one will ever really know. they give you a walkie talkie so you know when you need to come in. you also get as many breaks that you want if you do the carts because no one ever watches you. i worked there for three years in high school and college and tey never wrote me up for the million things I did wrong.

Cons

pretty much everything starting with very poor managers. managers have no idea how to lead, they are just concerned with sitting in their office watching the clock tick. they will hardly ever help out the other associates, and when they try to they do not know how to do anything so they just slow things down. they have poor communication kills, they never talk to each other, so I would get told to do 5 different things at the same time, and if i did not do the one that each manager said to do first they would all get pissed at me.
