Our district didn't negotiate. We've had several TMs deny offers because it was only a few more $ than they were currently making. TLs had a base starting point at around $12-14, Sr TLs at $17-23 based on experience and/or education. Make sure your hourly pay goals match up with reality. I've...

She was - but she also gained control of Market too. She had to do both as Sr.TL. I just went back to visit and she is currently going through the ETL interview process (ETL HL) and she doesn't have a degree. Our district doesn't require a degree for internal hires.

You are misinformed. Why would two of the hardest ETL positions have the fewest qualification requirements? LOG consumes many roles of the store and makes up for over 60% of store performance. I've seen HL and SL ETLs without a degree. And our Sr.Merchant, who was being groomed for STL, only...

I agree with @rocket99 - suck it up buttercup. You're complaining about 12 hour days -it's a blessing it's not 15 hrs. Welcome to working longer than needed or having no resources to complete the tasks passed down from corporate. If you're just at your training store then hang in there - your...

Sometimes only ETL-Logs/replens or someone who has led flow can understand this. We often fought the battles alone and were given expectations that required a miracle or a wizard.

How often are your flow TLs recognized? My TLs got zero respect from other ETLs because they weren't visible. We were overnight so other ETLs didn't know what they did. For my store they were passed over for promotion every time. Only me and the STL fought for them. Sr.TL isn't your cap at all...

A 4 year degree is required for external hires - unless they have extensive experience in retail management from another store or equivalent experience. Internal hires do not require a degree at all. They can promote their way to ETL without a degree (TM->TL->Sr.TL->ETL). Sometimes a degree will...

If ETL is the goal, and you have the support of your STL, then make the jump to ETL. Here's how it could go down and how I have seen it go down. ETLs are a dime a dozen. STLs are invested a little more but they can also jump ship too or get promoted. TMs and TLs seem to last longer than their...

I believe the classroom time is set based on the instructor's schedule. In our district the first week is usually all class room. For us we did 3 days then on the job with some classes in between. I think we had about 5 days of class room total. Then later I got food safety certified which was...

Our ULV ETLs worked 40 hours and had breakfast every morning after opening the doors. But like most cases, not all stores are the same. Retail in my hometown is also relaxed - but they just got a Target and it neighbors a corn field.

He is better than everyone else - he is an "Executive" remember. I had to.

Follow the above. First few days are in a class room and most of the training is on the job. It's just a formal way to train management, there's even a small "graduation" at the end. The training is all about how much you invest and how open you are to learn from others, even if they aren't...

Take the lateral move or wait until you graduate to see if you can move to ETL or at least Sr.TL. Moving might lock you in to 18 months but that's not always the case, just possible. Did you try for the internship?

That's why my original post could come off as rude because the OP sounded like a first job after college. Doesn't mean she won't do well. Just ask the right questions and respect your team and you'll do fine. It's a learning process.

If you get a store that averages 40 then never leave. We only have 1 store in our district like that but they only have 3 ETLs and are ULV. My friends who are still ETLs in this area are still pushing the 55-60 hr average. An ETL transferred to our store from an ULV and got his ass chewed out...

Our PATL promoted to Sr.TL but I don't think ETL was a consideration for her. You can jump to ETL from any position but it all depends on your leadership and district. At our store you had to move up the ladder without skipping a position. Others promote TMs to ETL or TLs to ETL. Just depends on...

Sorry my above post can come off as being rude. I want to assume you went through the interview process. Are you internal or external? I'm surprised they didn't say the salary unless you are at the stage where the recruiter says they will call back with an offer. If so, expect around $50K...

Have you ever had a job before? Serious question. You don't know much about the position but you're going to be an ETL? Given an offer but no $$ was discussed? I'm confused. They don't just give ETL away without a formal letter explaining the offer. Bad is relative to your experience in retail...

@AngelGS - make the most out of BC. Training is in your hands so how much effort you put in determines how much you get back. Shadow all ETLs for at least a day and make friends with the STL if they are running a good process. Also find a mentor who has been with Target for a few years and is...

We had offices but they didn't have computers so there wasn't really a need to be in it unless you wanted to nap, have sex, or work on a project alone.
