Target is hiring 120,000 seasonal employees for the holidays 🎄

So if you're looking for a way to make a little extra money working flexible hours at your favorite store, Santa just sent you an early Christmas present. "Adding 120,000 people to our current team will make the holidays easier and more convenient for our guests," the retailer explains in a statement . "In stores, team members will focus on providing an exceptional experience for guests during the holiday, helping guests find the perfect gift for everyone on their wish lists and stocking shelves with the hottest toys, decorations or holiday meal essentials. Sounds like the perfect job for 120,000 elves who love spreading holiday cheer, and reaping the financial benefits of the extra work during an expensive time of year. (The average American family is expecting to spend $700 on holiday gifts and goodies this year.)

Temp employees get paid a minimum of $12 hour (or more), and accrue a number of other family-friendly benefits:

• A 10% discount at Target stores and Target.com
• An additional 20% merchandise discount on fruits and vegetables + all Simply Balanced and C9 Champion merchandise
• The opportunity to earn holiday pay on Thanksgiving and Christmas
• Flexible schedules that allow team members to work a variety of hours

Other bonus perks: The opportunity to scope out Target's latest collaborations (we see you Joanna Gaines + Crissy Teigan + Paw Patrol ), and scalable schedules that may work for some families.
