Avantages
If retail is the right world for you, there are plenty of advancement opportunities. You have to perform well and fit in with the culture. If some instances, I have observed fitting in with the culture as being more rewarding.
Inconvénients
Hours - Coming in a 4am, 5am, 6am, 1pm just did not work for me after I started my family. Being pregnant and working at Target was the worst experience of my life. At that point I decided to ride it out until maternity. I had a horrible pregnancy and a horrible manager to go along with it who told me things like, "you don't have enough energy" = maybe because I throw up in the bathroom EVERY day, or "you eat too much" = because I don't want to be sick, amongst other thing. Therefore I have NO respect for Target as an employer and will never recommend it to anyone with a family.
