Seasonal Staffing: How Target’s Team Gears Up for the Holidays

At Target, we're heading into the holidays with a strong, experienced team equipped to deliver an easy, inspiring and friendly experience for our guests. Through continued investments in our team, we're helping team members focus on what matters most - serving our guests throughout the busiest season of the year.

We start by offering additional hours to current team members, and we tap into our On Demand team - a flexible group of approximately 43,000 store team members who pick up shifts that work for their schedules. We also hire seasonal team members across our 2,000+ stores and 60-plus supply chain facilities to meet local demand and deliver a fast, consistent service in every community we serve.

Our team members, including seasonal team members, earn a starting wage of $15-$24 an hour, depending on role and location, and receive benefits from day one - including early pay access, backup child care services when regular child care is unavailable, a 10% discount (plus an additional 20% off select wellness items and 20% off adult owned-brand apparel and accessories), and access to 24/7 virtual healthcare and mental health support.

Along the way, they also have opportunities to learn, build skills and gain valuable experience, whether they're with Target for a season or beyond. Last year, more than half of our seasonal store team members continued with Target after the holidays.
