I asked my STL if we could have a brand TM for shoes and a couple of other areas...people that I feel are essentially already VMTMs (which our store doesn't have) and she said sure! But they're not getting any sort of pay increase Now all my TMs are upset because our previous STL was working on...

I guess that's logical. But dang it I just needed to complain for the sake of complaining! Still I feel like we're gonna have to loop back to Goodfellow, POG fill over there wasn't that great despite it being a week out from the true set date.

VMTL here. I wrote a detailed ass plan to set the new lines and emailed it to everyone. Walk into work Tuesday and get told "oh hey, they want Goodfellow and A New Day set BEFORE the launch on the 27th." We just got in trouble for setting Goodfellow early two weeks ago and were made to take it...

Took the two Father's Day endcap POGs in men's basics and put in the front of the store along with all of the Dad t-shirts and kids "rad dad" etc t-shirts I could find (kids shirts are mostly folded, we hung them). Most of the dad shirts sold through, we added slippers and are filtering in the...

I feel like Target is asking for a lot more processes to be completed while guests are actually in the store, which is fine... but I think they fail to forget that having to assist/greet guests and tell them about cartwheel and sales will lead to less productivity. If Target truly wants "makeup...

I would love to, but I currently have neither. It's a tough situation. Our HR is very new and is leaving in August and according to the DTL I won't be getting an ETL for maybe 2 months minimum.

As a VMTL... I used to take great pride in my work and helping develop the softlines and seasonal (think Easter, Christmas, L&P) teams in learning how to flex, set adjacencies, merchandise properly. But recently, my Softlines TL has become very jealous of me and bitches to everyone about how I...

Grocery E2E rolled out in my store as well as softlines E2E. Our LOG ETL claims SL gets the extra hours but I have yet to see evidence of that getting scheduled. Our openers come in at 8 or 9 which is typical for a 7am open store... and push truck for the first half of their shift. The zones...

Yes, still very vague. Look at the guide on workbench.

I tried sitting in an office all day once like some of my peers... I got bored. Haha but now that I think about it I might be out of the job if my softlines TL actually did some work

Go to hardlines... Haha but seriously I'm in seasonal a TON and I'm Hardlines about 40% of the time... I send out a weekly email to all the leaders detailing what I worked on during the week since I typically work alone. Leadership and the team knows that I am not just another SLTL.

I started before the position was even posted online...and I plan on leaving before the end of the year. I have a strong feeling the position will be getting eliminated after they finish doing all their remodels.

Exactly. I was hired as a VMTL before the position was even posted online... My management had no clue what I was supposed to be doing or what my job entailed when I began. I think this is the biggest issue the position has faced since it opened up. I was told Target opened the position before...

The neighboring store in my area just hired a ETL HR.... we've been training her at my store for almost a month... now they just got the news they no longer get an ETL HR... oops.

Same here. Only issue I've encountered is softlines hang getting backstocked in assortment boxes...not sure how other stores handle this? Our flow team has improved and now have the ability to (almost) accurately read a pick label, open the box and visually audit what's inside, and determine to...

Glad to help. If you have any other questions about VMTL I'm happy to answer! From what I've seen on here, most VMTLs are not liked at their stores and it has to go beyond pay grade

I agree.... to an extent... my SL flow team pushes in the same areas 4+ days a week, so why can't they seem to find something when we set the adjacency 3 weeks ago? Also, when I go and visually audit backstock I can literally see the handfuls of stuff they didn't want to deal with hung back...

I'm excited for the rollout. However, in my store only the z-racks are being handled by the SL team/ SLTL and myself (VMTL). Flow team will still push everything with an actual location. They scheduled it so the SL openers spend the first 2 hours of their shift on truck days pushing z-racks...

I also understand the pay if Targets goal was truly to attract external hires... visual merchandising managers at Forever 21, Macy's, Nordstrom, Express, H&M etc. get paid the amount Target is offering their VMTLs. Target could've saved a ton of money by hiring internally and maybe just hiring a...

I'm a VMTL... when I was first hired I spent about 90% of my time in softlines because our TL at the time was awful, so I can understand how that can happen in some stores. Now I split my time 60/40 softlines/hardlines (unless there's a large transition or adjacency week) because I was able to...
