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.
Our team is what makes the holidays at Target so special. We want our team members to feel supported and set up to do their best work, so they can focus on creating an easy, inspiring and friendly experience for our guests. Whether someone joins us for a season or builds a career at Target, there are opportunities to learn, grow and make a difference as part of Team Target.

Check out these frequently asked questions:
How does Target decide how many seasonal team members it plans to hire?
We start with our current team, offering team members opportunities to work additional hours, if desired. We also leverage our On Demand team in stores, a flexible workforce of nearly 43,000 team members who can pick up shifts that work for their schedules. We then hire seasonal team members based on local demand across our stores and supply chain facilities.
What specific positions will you hire for? What are the roles and responsibilities for these seasonal positions?
Seasonal team members fill a number of roles at Target, with the majority in our stores stocking shelves, curating our style departments, helping guests during checkout and assisting with online order fulfillment. Working alongside and learning from our experienced teams, they help deliver an easy, inspiring and friendly experience for guests throughout the holiday season.
In our supply chain facilities, seasonal team members work on the frontlines of getting products to our stores and guests quickly and reliably, helping create greater ease for guests and fellow team members.
What is the On Demand program? Are all team members, including seasonal workers, able to work On Demand?
Over the past few years, we have successfully established an On Demand team in our stores — a flexible workforce that includes nearly 43,000 store team members — who have the option to pick up shifts on an as-desired basis to fit their schedule.
All current store team members have the option to talk to their leader about shifting to an On Demand role, and seasonal team members in our stores also have this option following the holiday season. We don’t currently offer On Demand positions in our supply chain facilities.
What wages and benefits are available to seasonal team members?
Target team members, including our seasonal team members, are offered a starting wage range of $15–$24 an hour depending on role and location. From day one, team members have access to competitive health, well-being and financial benefits, including 24/7 virtual healthcare through CirrusMD, confidential mental health support and coaching through Spring Health (with eight sessions for each service at no cost), backup child care services through Bright Horizons when their usual care arrangements are temporarily unavailable, early pay access with DailyPay, a 10% discount at all Target stores and on Target.com, plus an extra 20% off select wellness items and 20% off adult owned-brand apparel and accessories at Target.
