Target reviews

Lack of business maturity within the culture. Peers are quick to point fingers when things go wrong, and not take responsiblity for actions. In marketing, awful onboarding for folks who have not worked at Target for years, and are coming from outside the company. The overall systems are so antiquated that it actually prevents folks from doing their jobs. For those looking at marketing, it's really an advertising agency with a 'marketing' label. No influence over the product or product decisions ~ if you are business oriented, or have an MBA, you'll hardly ever use your left brain. In addition, just went through a major reorg in which the current skill level of employees, and IT systems, can not handle. It's complete chaos.

Being retail, it gets fairly repetitive after a few months and the program used to give time-lines/goals is a bit outlandish at times. Also, under-staffing can be a large issue when working in the backroom because you feel the heat from your superiors if/when the backstock isn't finished prior to 11am, but in reality there's no reasonable way to get that done given how many people are present on truck days. Hours aren't always guaranteed and in some cases are funneled to a few individuals rather than spread out amongst the team.
