Job Description

Target Corporation is a leading American retail company widely recognized for its commitment to delivering a superior shopping experience for families and individuals across the United States. Renowned for offering quality products at affordable prices, Target blends a customer-first approach with a strong emphasis on company values and culture. The company operates general merchandise stores that sell a wide range of products including apparel, home goods, electronics, groceries, and more. Target's mission is to help all families discover the joy of everyday life by making shopping enjoyable and accessible. The team environment at Target fosters growth, teamwork, and inclusivity, with a focus on creating meaningful experiences for both guests and team members. The retail giant is also known for its innovation in blending digital and in-store shopping to provide convenient and personalized customer service.

The role of an On-Demand Team Member (TM) at Target offers a flexible employment opportunity perfect for individuals seeking a personalized and adaptable work schedule. As an On-Demand TM, you are empowered to pick up shifts that fit your availability via Target's myTime mobile scheduling app, allowing you to work as much or as little as you desire, based on store needs and shift availability. This role is ideal for people who prefer flexibility and want to balance work with other responsibilities. However, reliability and prompt attendance when scheduled are critical to success in this position. Active engagement is expected, requiring the TM to work at least one shift every four weeks and respond to management's communications to confirm interest in upcoming shifts. Non-responsiveness or lack of shift engagement could result in termination.

The Guest Advocate position within the On-Demand TM framework centers on delivering exceptional service by welcoming guests, exceeding expectations, and supporting both in-store and digital services to enhance guest loyalty. This role involves multiple responsibilities such as greeting guests, assisting with purchases, managing checkouts efficiently, answering questions about products and services, and promoting Target's loyalty programs. Guest Advocates make shopping quick and easy by managing checklanes, gift registry, pick-up, and Drive Up services, ensuring an inviting and helpful presence on the sales floor.

This position offers an excellent pathway for those interested in developing valuable customer service, communication, and sales skills. The role demands a fast-paced, physically active environment requiring teamwork, flexibility, and effective problem-solving abilities. Successful candidates are friendly, detail-oriented, able to multitask, and proficient with technology including scanners and mobile communication devices. The ability to handle cash transactions accurately and safely is also important. The On-Demand Team Member role demands adaptability to varying work hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays to support peak shopping times.

Target commits to equipping new hires with in-depth orientation and training to prepare them fully for the Guest Advocate responsibilities. This role not only offers a competitive hourly wage starting at $15.00 USD but also provides access to a variety of benefits and career development opportunities. Flexible scheduling, supportive leadership, and a vibrant team culture make this an attractive job opportunity for individuals seeking retail experience with the convenience of personalized scheduling and the chance to grow within a respected national brand.
