Pluspunten
As an entry level retail job you could do a lot worse than target. Their work force is well staffed and they have the best inventory system in the business making your life at the entry level very simple and stress free. There is some room for advancement and raises if you are willing to put in the time and energy. The benefits are what you might expect from an entry level retail job: nothing stellar, however they are better than a few other retail companies I've worked for in the past couple of years. The quality of the products they offer is what makes Target stand out in my mind. In general they sell a much higher quality product (both store brand and independant labels) than the nations leading retailer.
Minpunten
Like with most retail companies during this hard time, hours are highly competitive and based on performance, not senority. Expect to give 110% every day whether you've been working there for 3 years or 3 weeks, that is if you want to see your name on next weeks schedule. Also you don't qualify for benefits until after 6mo. of full time work, compared to the typical 3mo. at most other companies.
