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.

Advice to Senior Management

Encourage and reward honest discussion at all levels of the company
