Pros

I have met many great team members and the 10% discount is not bad. I work at a Super Target and having a starbucks has become very useful during the morning hours. Also, having a pizzahut is great for lunch time. I like the fact that I have been crossed trained and can work in many areas. Most of the Guests who shop at my store are friendly and I have quite a few who seek me out and for my help. We are a first name basis. My store just happens to be close to my home, so less travel time is better.

Cons

The management team at my store, mainly the Guest Service Team leads, show no respect towards the team members. Of course not all GSTLs are bad but some are unbearable and make your day miserable. You are rarely allowed to leave when your shift is up. This especially true at the end of the night. You may be scheduled until 10 but its not uncommon to leave until 11 or later. Only to be double backed at 7am! There are very few cashiers and sales floor workers. We are always in fast service and this is why nothing is completed at the end of the night. Many people in my store are now pulling double shifts because there is no coverage.
