modernization

Hi. I've barely started working at target as a general mechandise expert. They've given me some training and I feel comfortable but I do have questions that I've asked my trainers but they all didn't give specifics and just that you learn as you work. Working in general merchandise, can someone...

Just curious if anyone else is concerned that the rising tm pay versus lead pay might signify something. We're teaching our "business leaders" to basically be leads. Anyone else concerned that the lead position might disappear? Discuss.

So how is this working out for you all? Is management suggesting someone take the lead role? Is someone just doing it because they can handle it? What happens when no one "wants to". I don't mind helping run the front sometimes, but I don't like it so much when it is busy. Today, they had no...

Does anyone know if there is still a shift differential for overnights or if modernization did away with that? We are setting BTS overnight on the new schedule.

Just curious as a a&a TM day shift what are your responsibilities?

So im a former flow trainer and a new inbound trainer and i was wondering on how you guys are training new inbound hires Because im finding my new trainees Are just getting overwhelmed by the amount of info i have to give them in a short amount of time and they just end up leaving after a few...

Okay I’ve tried to get this information from my ETLS and I have not been given a direct answer. I just want to know if any other stores are experiencing this as well? I have not seen a single person scheduled as a Closing Expert since this roll out. All our “hardlines” closers are scheduled...

Can someone tell me what exactly the GSTL's are suppose to be doing if everyone up front is doing basically what the GSA's and GSTL's were doing a few months ago? Ours do nothing.

does anyone know if there is a difference between a general merchandise expert and a normal team member? is it more pay and/or more of a higher leadership role? bc my store has a posting for a gm expert as well as a just team members, and i don’t understand what the difference is.

What are the newest/current acronyms across the store? (such as SD = Store Director)

So how do you all handle getting everything done? With zoning, EXF, pulls, price changes, setting end caps and side caps, revisions and pushing truck? It seems to take all day just to push the truck and do repacks.

I work in a small volume store but we carry our own, and exceed expectations. The problem is cashiers and 1 cart attendants are now making the same as the old logistics team. the payroll is still working on the old system. So hours are cut massively, and soft- lines at taking hours because...

I have worked at target for 8 yrs in a small volume store. I started in logistics, then took on signing as a 2nd job so I could get more hours which I did, around 40 a week. Now as the modernization process starts I am getting 24. They tried this last year in my store and it quickly failed as...

So the store I work at hasn't done it's front end mod where other areas have started. Without GSA's and being an open and mid SETL's who controls the lanes... I know we are all supposed too be in charge of ourselves basically, is it true that the SCO controls the lanes when SETL's are not...

Yay for store mod.

Looking to create consistency for my team in HL. Wondering if anyone has suggestions for creating routines for both inbound and non-inbound TMs in Gen Merch areas. What you or your TL have set as regular expectations, that seem to work well? We're stuck in the freight-focused push and it's...

I am seriously at my wit's end with this. I am constantly told to go faster and I have no idea how I can. Obviously, they want me to keep the U-boat with me at all times, which I do, but that can actually slow me down in some circumstances. Sure, it works well and makes sense if it is sorted...

Hello all, it’s my first post because I finally had a question for my Target family! I’ve been working at my store for over a year and started working closing shifts because of school. I normally don’t mind them because we typically don’t stay late. This week however, we had officially closed...

Hey all, So I'm currently trying to find ways to motivate the style team in my store. Our new store mentality is to coach and corrective action the team to death but I don't think it's truly helping. I know that there are definitely performance conversations to be had but I don't think that my...

I was just curious for everyone's take, even though the raise is good (but maybe not so much for people who have been here longer) it doesn't really matter if my hours stay low. I am planning on staying for about another month or two to see if hours will go back up or it is going to be this way...
