I worked at target for awhile in high school and this is what i found out:
Target is a scumbag corporation just like any corporation that will donate to charities to get recognition and advertisement, Vietnam was a controversial war and it's most likely Target is afraid of their image being affiliated with the Vietnam war. Corporate target thinks in terms of dollars, like any other company so a minority group like vietnam vets are not a prime demographic.
The "team" atmosphere/philosophy is a brainwashing technique used to keep employees happy with crappy wages and if you're family you're alot less likely to steal or be angry at the company. The target "team" is just like any other company "team". notice how every crappy job describes people working in "teams". I also worked at Jack in the Box during my first year of high school where i was a "crew member" making minimum wage without any benefits and i was supposed to be a "productive part of a team". Every company does this in one way or another, but the ones that emphasize it the most are usually doing it to boost morale for other areas that are lacking.
I'd much rather make good wages and have personal responsibility than be part of a team, but that's just me.
I have very biased opinions, and they are just that: opinions, but i don't shop at target anymore anyway because of how phony the company was as well as the people running it. I also don't eat at Jack in the box for a few reasons i won't disclose (things every jack in the box store does that worry me). and also for how phony the company and it's policies were. In fact, i don't like much of any companies but those two are highest on my hate list.
My rambling is done,
Over and out
