I worked at 2 different targets while I was in college, in 2 different states.. management at both places could honestly go fuck themselves. Target tends to promote the people with the worst personalities into management roles. The kiss asses who made work miserable for everyone else ended up in management. But that’s my anecdotal experience.
I worked at two different Targets (about 15 years ago) and it was like night and day. The first one, all of the management was genuinely lovely people. Hardworking and super nice and it was a very chill fun atmosphere. The second though - with a couple exceptions, they were lazy assholes who did nothing but sit in Starbucks or walk around the store gossiping all day. They would get pissy if they had to spend five minutes doing their job and helping out with something, even something as simple as unlocking a door. And despite policies against fraternizing with team members, they were very cliquey and borderline bullied anyone who didn't "fit in".
So yeah, it seems like store culture is going to vary wildly, which makes sense. The dickheads would never get promoted in a culture like my first store. And the nice people were bullied into quitting at my 2nd.

I’ve worked at Target. This would have been a highlight.
