Pros

It is so easy to get a job at Target. And of course that 10% discount is a plus. People are very nice and friendly - well most of them are.

Cons

Scheduling - you can not request a scheduling change if you haven't worked for six months. As a cashier, closing is the worst schedule you can have. You have to helped out clean the store before you can go home and that goes until 1 or 2 in the morning and worst, you have to open the next day. Compensation - not very good, although it is about the same as other retail stores. But if your schedule sucks, the $7/hour does not seem to be worth it. Bathroom duties - yuck! Cleaning bathrooms is definitely not listed on the job description for a Cashier! Target makes a lot of sales - they should be able to put some of it for day custodians! Or hire just for day custodians.

Pros

Target is a progressive retail organization with high expectations of its management teams.

Cons

Working in a retail environment is challenging from a work/life balance perspective, and Target is no exception. I felt that the expectations placed on the "Executive Team Leaders", given the resources available, were unrealistic. It was condescending to me to be rated red, yellow or green on how a bulletin board looked when we were in the midst of losing our store manager.

Pros

It's a great store and you get a 10% discount! I enjoyed working there during the summer.

Cons

It gets boring and routine at times. As a cashier, things get pretty busy on Sundays; you have to be comfortable with standing all day long.
