Pros

Coworkers and thats about it.

Cons

Horrible pay, insurance, trucks violate osha, fda and dol guidelines, its almost like a death trap unloading them, poor management, insane workload your gonna be doing 3+ peoples jobs for min wage. Old equipment thats strainous to use. If you have injuries and disabilities get ready to have them get worse, target does not care about your or their guests health and safety. Im tempted to sell my house and car and everything and live in the woods with nothing, id be happier.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
