Pros

the discount is the best thing about working for target. You will save on taxes

Cons

politics . play them or you will go nowhere. dress well, or you will not be selected. Find a friend in senior management to speak on your behalf during thier district contribution meetings. Its not difficult.. the average STL is under 30 just take them out for a drink.

Not a horrible place to work.

Guest service team member - cashier

Business Outlook

Pros

The hours are pretty flexible, as long as you don't make any crazy requests, like not working weekends. The pay is decent, for what isn't a very hard job. At least at my store, the fellow employees are nice and most are hard workers. People who don't preform, don't get hours and quit. It's really hard to get outright fired.

Cons

Guests complaining due to certain company policies, namely the return policy and price matching. The promotion process is kinda unfair and one sided. Only 10% discount. You have to constantly convince people they really need a credit card with a very bad rate.
