Target reviews

Inconsistency from corporate values and direction with management. Run more like a work camp. Very little empowerment for employees. Strong focus on micromanagement. It seemed that leaders were chosen for that ability more than any other ability. Scarce training which left many team members floundering and frustrated. Unrealistic expectations. Notorious for cutting hours of team members who relied on their income to support their families, pay their bills. Team members seemed to be treated more like numbers than people. I've heard that Target did not used to be this way and this is a result of the modernization roll-out. Discount is absurdly low in comparison with so many other employee discounts. 10%. Management seemed very concerned with a stringent set of rules than actually effectively training members and servicing customers. Coverage of the floor to actually assist customers was not considered an priority. I can honestly say this is one of the worst places I've ever worked.

This is specific to EDABI - BI & Analytics: - No career profession: Leaders recognize that you need to be promoted but do not promote you. I've heard a leader say that until someone from a higher level leaves, they will not promote you. Some cite budget constraints. Many end up being in the same level for more than 6-7 years. - There are many directors who do not really do any meaningful work. - Salary is below national average for BIA teams - Lack of direction in terms of technology tools. This has lead to people doing unnecessary and unimportant work. - Weak job titles. Creating front end reports is only about 5% of my job.
