Did she transfer from a DC? My first store had a flow TM who kept her pay after transferring from the DC and it was substantially higher than the store rate.

Those are different scenarios, though. The STL should be communicating with all LODs so they understand how to lookup sales and payroll as well as priorities for replacing call outs. That is not the same as a SrTL delegating a task to an ETL during an LOD shift, which is totally acceptable. My...

I think it might be easier if you group them into similar roles and have a main group that you'd like to be in. If you know what areas you'd like to do, your store can help you narrow it down and pick the specific positions they have available. Front End: Food Service, Guest Service Sales...

Many products will also tell you in the top right corner of the shelf label.

I know spot isn't the most formal employer so I wouldn't normally recommend this, but my gut tells me hand delivering a thank you note to those in the meeting would be a strong sign of maturity, gratefulness, and eagerness.

Communication between dayside and overnight teams is always a challenge. Look for ways to improve the partnership. When your workload is under control, assess the big picture for your store. What are the opps? Brand? Metrics? Out of stocks? Markdowns? Figure out what ways you and your team can...

Alternate hot take: SrTL can be a great opportunity. I jumped right into as my first TL role. Time management was difficult at first because I didn't have a chance to get my workcenter under control before taking on LOD shifts. I think that incremental steps would have better prepared me, but I...

Also, yelling into the walkie about backup.

Same. During Q4 it turns into 9 and 6...

One word: Respect. Give them the respect they deserve. Earn their respect. It doesn't matter how much you try to talk to them if they feel like you look down on them. Be genuine with recognition. Set realistic goal times. Find out what makes them tick. Listen. Even if you don't have time, make...

Previous posters have said it exactly right. Start with flow. Focus on getting that process organized and successful. You must balance a speed is life mentality with a focus on accuracy. Make sure you have the right trainers and the right team members working in breakouts. Do not be afraid to...

Keep an eye on the hiring board and the target.com application site. Whether it's posted as a SrTL or TL will depend on headcount. The store is allotted a certain number of key carriers and that number changes every year, so they may not be replacing with another SrTL. That said, if you haven't...

Short Answer: It's possible. I've done it and there wasn't anything special that I had to do outside of TL prep. Longer answer: All stores are not the same. In my experience, it's a store-level decision, so the most important thing would be to have the support of your ETL and, more importantly...

Any time a team gets a new boss, they are worried about how the culture will be changing. So it's important that as you are trying to establish yourself, set new expectations, and make the necessary changes you communicate well with the team. The best advice I can give is to make sure you give...

Honestly, that doesn't surprise me. It's more of a CYA for HQ so that if someone were to claim they were discriminating they can document and show what was asked and what the response was. That and it makes it easier to directly compare candidates than if each interview is non-structured. That...

Another ridiculous trend that I am noticing is a complete lack of support for the store-side talent and resources that Spot has. They have created a culture where ideas presented within a store are impossible to implement because everything is standardized and upper management is afraid to try...

I honestly think Target just makes it up as you go. It seems each ETL-HR has their own definition of what each paygrade is. My journey on the pay scale has been unconventional, but it has show me that there is no real standard between stores.

Interlink online and instore POS: Instead of offering rainchecks and substitutions, allow the guest to purchase an item in-store which will be shipped as a typical online order or as a store-ship if the item is on the way. There is no reason we should ever tell a guest an item is out of stock...

As a SrTL, I've been taking classes for the last two semesters. I am doing online courses so I can do them on my own time because I cannot count on Target to get me off specific times for class. It's not for everyone, but it's definitely very doable.

I know they share a pay grade, so I was wondering how intense the interview process is? Does anyone have experience with this transition?
