Business Outlook

Pros

The schedule is flexible, some positions are early, others are late. Easy to work around other responsibilities.

Cons

You really have to be a favorite to be able to move up within the company. New grads come in with no retail experience, never have worked with customers are all of a sudden in charge of you. Although the schedule is somewhat flexible, many times you have to be there at 5/6am or as late as 11/12pm way before the store opens or after it closes. Employees with families or kids cannot be at work that late, especially at Target. Other times, the pay is way to low and you are expected to pull way beyond what should be considered your own weight, to pick up others slack.

Business Outlook

Pros

They were very flexible in my requests to take time off and work around my sports and school schedule. They offer competitive salaries for part time workers. They crossed train employees to help avoid long lines at the registers and also provide more variety to the day. Pleasing a customer by finding an item in the backroom always makes them feel good and gives you a feeling of satisfaction.

Cons

Sometimes you have to put up with mean or upset customers. Cleaning up the toy aisle everyday just to have more kids come and make a mess the next day can get a little old.
