    Foot In the Door

    If they wanted you as an ETL, they probably would have hired you as an ETL. The fact that they didn't even give you TL is a little concerning. You also mentioned being in a smaller market, which means a lot of competition for open positions. It's very unlikely a brand new TM is going to beat...

    Auditing my own Department (WTF)

    I've seen this a lot recently. The process is supposed to show errors. That's why the process is there, so that you can identify issues to prevent them in the future. By manipulating the process to hide errors, you lose the ability to prevent the errors in the first place. The goal should be...

    Paygrades

    Not every pay grade 45 team member is a team leader, and only team leaders and above can get store keys (except APTL and HRTLs, who are not eligible for keys). APL, PML, VM, APS, etc, are not Team Leaders despite being PG45, and aren't eligible for keys (or TL bonuses). Losing a store key is...

    Worth trying to promote to ETL?

    My last store had 1 ETL. They covered all of FB/GM/LOG. (The Specialty/Apparel TL and the SE TL reported directly to the SD.) In 2 years, we had 4 different ETLs pass through that role. I've never been an ETL, myself, but I've held the equivalent position at a nearly $100M Walmart. 50-60...

    Archived Minimum Pay v Minimum Wage

    Minimum is $7.25 around here, but very few places actually pay that. It's almost as if there's no need for a legal minimum wage because competition in a free market will drive wages up as unemployment goes down. Hm. Anyway, Walmart pays $11-17 depending on job and experience. McD's advertises...

    A look into Walmart's Zebra applications.

    Having used Walmart's devices extensively as a former ASM (Walmart equivalent of an ETL), I have to admit that the Walmart system is much more straight-forward than what we have at Target. They also have more information available in the MyProductivity app, such as daily and weekly sales trends...

    Archived GSA vs CSM

    Came from Walmart myself, not too long ago. The frontend is supervised by the CSMs. They handle the usual daily stuff: coordinating breaks, helping customers with difficult requests, running cash/change, directing customers to the shortest line, and setting the registers in the morning/night...

    Archived Plain Clothes ID

    When I worked AP/LP at past companies, we'd be given some form of ID (usually photo) we would use to identify ourselves during plain-clothed apprehensions. I haven't seen anything similar here at Target for APS or other non-uniformed AP personnel... Does such a thing exist?

    Archived Are all new Seasonal TMs start at minimum Target base pay??

    So the way I look at it... It's not that YOU aren't worth more than $12, it's that the POSITION isn't worth more than $12. If you had applied for a Team Lead, I'm sure they would have offered you more.

    Archived Hello

    I'm a little concerned whether the feeling will last, but I'm at least going to enjoy it while I can!

    Archived Hello

    Hi, I'm relatively new to Target and even newer to this forum. I previously worked for Walmart, in both hourly and salaried positions; while I love that company, the actual work environment left something to be desired. I accepted a job with Target as an APTL up here in the northeast and so...
