Pros

I believe that the best reason to work for Target lies in the people that the company brings on to work along side you. Other staff are very professional and also fun, and that makes a work day go by much easier. The hours are manageable and the pay is decent as well. Supervisors often give quality feedback about the nature of your work.

Cons

Personally, I do believe that this can be frustrating at times though because people mess around too much and don't get work done. For example, some employees surf online for much of their day time working hours and this can be frustrating to others.

Pros

The people are fun and you get to interact with lots of them. The management isn't too bad either. Ilike interacting with all of the guests on a daily basis. We make it fun and that results in a better experience for our guests.

Cons

Time off sometimes is hard, the pay isn't great and the benefits are good but not for part timers. The work isn't always the most fun and the hours can suck sometimes. People are sometimes mean when you don't have waht they want
