My pricing team is one of my areas that's struggling along with my pricing/Plano leader who is on her way out. I'm hemmorraging payroll trying to keep up with a 4 person pricing team but I think they are just moving slow. They average 600 tickets per person in an 8 hour shift. What's the...

I yell all the time when i'm leading my flow process, that said I never yell at an individual team member but at the collective group and never in a negative way. If i'm in the trailer throwing or pushing the line and we start getting stuck I yell for them to hurry out on the line and vice versa...

Congratulations on getting LOG, it is definetly the hardest ETL role though. You will either be O/N, 4am, 6am, or if your store is ULV 730am. 4am and O/N is the best, but you can make 6am work. The stores in Florida have the best 6am process I've seen so reach out if you get stuck as 6am. Best...

Visual Merchandising Team Leader is the new team lead position and it will be a PG-17. Not a SnrTL though.

If your interested in back room get really familiar with back room location accuracy. Not many new TLs know how to make strong impacts and don't understand it thoroughly. But if you dig in and get your store above 98.5 and maintain a clean back room while meeting payroll you will walk on water...

Hey guys, I'm a ETL Logistics relatively new to the company and interested in why we have many of the processes we do. Many of the questions are critical but I'm not interested in the blame game only in trying to develop a better process for my store so please help me out. I was hoping someone...

Sounds like there is a lot more to this story. That said a TL cannot be put on CA or final without HRBP review and approval anyway

Its definitely true there are some lazy ETLs out there, unfortunately it is also true there are some TMs who struggle with basic problem solving/critical thinking and call the LOD for EVERY SINGLE THING. I start out trying to always respond in person while I am getting to know the store and...

Relax, you cannot have interviewed with any district leadership which is a requirement for team leaders unless you were placed on the talent management pipeline. In short your store has one year from the time they do that to have you signed off or dropped from pipeline. It sounds like you were...

We actually hired internal for the VML position at out store. My concern with the concept that has yet to be addressed is where the payroll will come from to staff it. If the answer is from our current budget as it most likely will be then congratulations on failing spectacularly at rolling this...

Where you get assigned is decided almost entirely by your DTL, if you haven't taken advantage of the day your DTL sets aside to meet with ETL's (can't remember the name of it) then you will set yourself up for failure on moves.

Yeah, and in 4th quarter it frequently turns into 70 hours a week depending on store volume and your position. Naturally the work/life balance only gets harder the higher you go as well.

Sounds like you struck gold to me, at first it will be hard and stressful but one of the hardest parts of making the transition to ETL if you were not a Sr TL before is juggling your responsibilities and the requirements of being LOD. I recommend you take the opportunity to become comfortable...

Great, thanks for the help!

Hey all, I'm a new ETL waiting to start Business College and i'm surfing these forums to try and get a feel for the position. One thing I have noticed is you guys use almost as many acronyms as the military, so can someone define a few of these or point me to a glossary thread please?
