I'm looking to work part-time at Target during the holiday season to earn some extra cash. What's the going pay rate for these seasonal positions? Any insights would be helpful.
Target has been known for being rather competitive with their pay rates, especially for seasonal employees. As of 2024, the company raised its minimum wage to $15 per hour nationwide and this should apply to seasonal workers as well. However, the actual rate could depend on various factors such as the location of the store, the cost of living in that area, the specific job you're hired to do, and your previous work experience. The best way to know for sure is to inquire directly during your application or interview process. Variances in local minimum wages could lead to higher pay in certain areas. In some cities and states with higher costs of living, Target pays well above the $15 per hour base rate. Remember to also consider the benefits that Target offers, such as a store discount, which can add to the overall compensation. I would advise directly asking about this during your interview or reaching out to HR for more specific information. Good luck with your job hunt!
