Vantaggi
1. Target is a fantastic first job. It's definitely great for someone who's currently in high school, or just starting out in the real world. 2. You'll meet a whole palette of interesting and awesome people working here. 3. The merchandise discount is pretty nice. Stacked up with the store credit card, you can save a decent chunk of money on a large purchase. 4. A lot of business and credit card applications results in a lot of good incentive for team members, namely cashiers. 5. Relatively consistent hours.
Svantaggi
1. [At least in Delaware] unbelievable business. Sometimes the store is overrun like the Philadelphia Zoo. Absolutely ridiculous, incredibly stressful, and hard to micro manage. It gets so busy at Christmas time that you can't even hear yourself think. 2. Management plays a very, very heavy hierarchy role, with a lot of favoritism. If you're not liked by the ETL, any of the LODs, or any of the Team Leads, your entire job experience there is going to be comparable to working on a slave plantation with a little bit of retail-slightly-above-minimum-wage pay. 3. Personally for me, working as a Cart Attendant many of my days, this job is so unforgiving. Horrible, uneven Farmer's tan, sunburn/sun poisoning, a ton of disrespect from shoppers, drivers, and management. 4. Very low priority on team member's needs and feelings. If what you want isn't what management wants, they almost completely refuse to accommodate. 5. Inadequate pay for such a high amount of work. Some of the people I work with deserve so much more for the amount of time and effort they put in. 6. People who come shop at Target are some of the most rude, nasty, and inconsiderate people I've ever had the misfortune to share the same oxygen as.
