The smiles hide the dysfunction - Lead Program Manager Target Employee Review

Target is constantly churning its employees, encouraging them to find new jobs when they are actually good at the job they do. They also have a habit of fetishizing Merchant experience and reward those with Merchant experience with Leadership roles where Merchant skills aren't important. Target also has unshakeable faith in Target, despite clear evidence it doesn't always know best and it is quite poor in reflecting on what went wrong (because nothing every goes wrong!). I worked with a lot of people who were very unhappy in their jobs, with their boss and their Leadership - but they felt stuck.
