I was an internal etl hire and the first thing they did was run a background check, could not start training with out it .

The rule of thumb that has been used in the passed is that each person should be able to push at least 100 pieces of frate. So a 2700 = 27 people. That being said when schedules are made we don't know how big a truck will be just how many trucks we will get.

I know there has been a lot of talk about VML and man do I have a lot of thought on the subject. Ok so here goes , first I think there are a lot of misconceptions as to what the job is. First yes it pay grade 17 but no your not a SrTL. The reason they made the position a pg17 was so they...

I have to say my STL is on the floor filling end caps, shooting labels and signs and connecting with the team. That being said I have ETL's who are on the floor but I couldn't tell you what they were actually doing. In my store the 2 sales floor etl's (hardlines) are the worst ETL's in the...

Do you think you can do the position? Do you have an eye for style. Also don't take the bs that you would have to fight to be an etl with no degree , 3 of the last 3 people I know promoted did not have a degree. The big question is are you suited for the position? This position will put you in...

Unless you have keys and codes your not the SRTL. I'm sure your store wants you to be but just remember the DTL has the final say. Have your 30 sec commercial ready and make sure you prep. If you go in blind they will know.

I know that not all areas are the same with pay, but in my region you would deffiently make more than 50k. Most people in my area start around 54-58. I knew a GE who Was a college hire making 69 after only 18months. Of course you schedule would probably involve more hours, minimum of 50 a week...

Finally after what seems like forever I am going for my first round of ETL interviews. I'm now super nervous as it's 5 days away. My store is very confident in me, so much so that they are interviewing my replacement this week. I am preping like it is going out of style and my 30sec commerical...

Each pay grade has been increased $0.25. What I don't understand is how you only make $8 at my store we have always started higher than $8.

Follow up question , how is it to work overnight. I know it will be a big transition.

Anyone have an insite on the position. I have worked dayside for 5 yrs , currently a Sr.TL. The store I would most like be at is overnight.

First off idk where everyone else is but in my store it's only like a $2 raise. Besides that starbucks is not the easiest position. Recently at my store we promoted a salesfloor tm to sbtl and it has not been easy for her. It is not an easy position, yes you have a small team to manage but you...

I agree recognition is due but you'll see sometimes the higher you go the less recognition you get. The gstl may get recognized by the Etlge because they "manage you" and you are doing good which in the eyes of an etl means the Tl is doing good. I agree you should get recognition from your ge...

I have not seen it happen before but I'm sure it's possible but probably not likely. I know that is not what you want to hear ,but to me it seems rather unlikely that they would promoted a tm to Sr.TL. It a huge leap in so many aspects. I have great team members on the bench but I could not...

In the past before my time we had a contest where the tm with the best aar for a month got to write thier own schedule for a week. The team loved the contest. Also in the past I have made an awesome gift basket with all kinds of goodies and had it displayed in tsc for the duration of the...
