Good company, but political culture.

Manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall I have had great direct managers at Target who have supported my advancement. The headquarters buildings are nice and conveniently located. There is opportunity to advance - as long as you can manage through the political environment. There are lots of opportunities to take lateral moves to other areas.

Cons

Many places in headquarters are very political and people spend way to much time managing egos. The culture doesn't encourage or reward honest and open discussion and idea sharing. There are two many "pre-meetings" to agree on "messages" before meeting with other areas. This takes time away from actually doing the work that drives results.

Great Leadership Philosophies, Poor Leaders

Risk management

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of feedback and a great place to learn about great leadership philosophies.

Cons

Although great leadership is the company's main focus, they are fooling themselves by thinking they develop great leaders. The concepts and philosophies that the company is built on are sound, but upper management's adherence to those philosophies falls terribly short. Promotions are earned based on politics and personality, not talent and execution. In addition, the company maps out your path for you, not always considering what you actually want to do. Instead of driving your own professional development, decisions are made for you then shoved down your throat. If you don't agree with the direction they want you to go, you either have to grin and bear it or you will be labeled as a problem and will be "performance-managed out." The "people conversations" that happen behind the scenes (in vans, restaurants, offices and airplanes) at Target are sometimes disturbing and often differ from what the individual TM is being told about their own future. It's disappointing and sometimes deceitful.
