The hidden views of Target

Recommend

Pros

Started as a family oriented company who's main concern was their teammates at all levels. Stock prices reflected hard working proud teammates. (look at stock trends)

Cons

Became a company based on pure profits and growth. Sounds good but how you do it is important!! It became the priority versus teammates. That's where failure will occur. Behind closed door meetings "targeting" employees at all levels based on factors not associated with their performance but on "fit", salary levels, blending with the "good old boy" group or groups, and most disturbing age!

Pros

I have enjoyed the collaborative environment. Most employees are motivated, happy and a pleasure to work with on a daily basis.

Cons

Like any big company, there is a lot of bureaucracy and red tape. The company is slow to act on new ideas/technologies.

Pros

Good training program to start career. It is a big company with systems to get things moving.

Cons

A lot of meetings with contactors & offshore resources. Target relies a lot of development and supporting work from TCS and offshore resources. Employees in US are being laid off mainly for this reason. Long hours, and employees just another headcount.
