The culture is a nasty mix of a high school clique, a cult, and a domestic violence relationship - Group Leader - DC Target Employee Review

Pros

Everything sounds nice when they talk about "development" and "coaching" and "best practices" etc, etc.

Cons

It is a highly political atmosphere where everyone is out for themselves and making their own metrics look good at any cost. But it is hard to blame them considering how nasty Target can turn if you fall short in any way. "Development" means getting you into the position Target wants you in, not getting you where you want to go. "Coaching" means getting evidence together to fire someone, not trying to help them improve. "Best practices" means mandatory and seemingly arbitrary procedures, not advice on how to do your job in the most effective way possible. "We don't do silos" means every man for himself. "Opportunity" means something someone is not doing correctly, and you had better hope it is not you. "We don't want to set you up for failure" means we will make sure you fail if you try that.
