    Missing Bullseye

    I promise you I'm not going back. I like being a guest too much. There is a DC nearby. I have thought about applying, but I think I like working in corporate too much.

    Missing Bullseye

    Haha, I'm a former intern and thought about applying for ETL again too. I work in corporate HR for a hotel and was concerned that the COVID-19 would impact my position... Thankfully, it hasn't yet. However, I talked to a couple friends on mine who are still with Spot (one intern who is ETL, and...

    How do you act as a guest in other stores?

    I absolutely love Costco's street taco kits. Before I started working from home, I would pick them once a week for a quick and easy dinner. The packaging is a little flimsy so pick it up with 2 hands :cool: The mashed potatoes and meatloaf is another great dinner option... The meatloaf does...

    Archived People hanging out in toys waiting for the push

    I’m not sure if Target ever hosted them, but during my first stint with Kmart (2008-2013), the stores would host regular Hotwheels ‘collector events.’ Basically, stores would get cases with new release cars in them. On the morning of the event, collectors would get raffle tickets and we would...

    Archived Internal vs external?

    Glad to see my advice is still being shared, even after being gone for the company for 4 years. Anyways, as others have said, if you want an ETL position it may be easier to leave and then re-apply. While internal promote is possible, it will take much longer... And you'll probably have to...

    Archived So what happened to our insurance when you get let go

    Just an FYI, that COBRA coverage is retroactive up to 60 days after the loss of coverage... So if you decided to forgo COBRA coverage initially, but get sick/have an emergency/decide you want it, you just need to send the COBRA people the form and a check for the coverage. Any medical costs...

    Archived How Does Leadership deal with “Their Own” in regards to attendance

    When I was an intern, I had to call off from an LOD because I had stomach issues, and needed to be close to a bathroom. When I came back, I was read the riot act for calling off. I told her that I couldn't be LOD from the bathroom, and she said 'unless someone in your family is in the hospital...

    Archived store closing?

    Target seems to close only a few stores at a time (10-15) instead of 'mass' closings like Kmart and Sears, who announce dozens of stores at a time.

    Archived Sr. HR Specialist

    I'm in HR currently (was a former etc-logistics intern back in 2012-2013) and have been looking for a new job. I don't mind my current company, but I'm getting bored and seeing whats out there. I saw that the D.C. In the next town over is hiring for Sr. HR Specialist and was wondering if...

    Archived Self-Checkouts

    Ugh. This brings back bad memories of working for Meijer at the SCO. I hated it when people would bring large amounts of produce through the SCO... Stickers would fall off, so they would 1) call me over, which wouldn't save anytime or 2) go through the item lookup by picture non-sense.

    Archived Coaching question

    Wearing my Human Resources hat: Target is an employment at will company, and you can be terminated at any time, for any reason... Regardless if you have a final warning or coaching. While Target does have coaching -> corrective action -> final -> termination, those can be skipped as needed...

    Archived From Intern to ETL

    From my impressions, interns are expected to accept/decline the offer right away... This may not be true, but that's the way it seemed... After all, you spent 8 weeks as an intern, and should know whether or not you liked what you saw. Typically, they will offer you the position after the...

    Archived From Intern to ETL

    Just to clarify, everyone in my internship class received the ETL offer at the end of summer. I was only one to get the Extended Internship opportunity. I don't know if it was because no else asked, or because their stores didn't have project for them to do... To make a great impression during...

    Archived BTS 2017

    So I work in Human Resources (for a different company), but we do host an employee survey every year (similar to Target's BTS). While I can't speak for Spot's vendor, the survey results we receive are completely anonymous. While we do require employees to login to the system to take the survey...

    Archived Store Manager start using petnames when she's talking to me

    As mentioned above, I'd give it a few days and see if she calls other team members by pet names as well. Some managers think it helps build working relationships with coworkers. Other do it because they can't remember people's names and are too lazy to read name tags. Others try to seem cool...

    Archived ETL Internship

    Hello! Former intern here (granted it was almost 4 years ago!)... It depends on your market and when the major colleges and universities have job fairs in the Spring Semester. If I remember correctly, I had completed my interviews at this point and was awaiting final decision... But my...

    Archived No more ETL HR?

    Prior to my Target internship days, I worked at a Kmart during my high school and a majority of my college years. At Kmart, we had a store manager and three assistants; hardlines, softlines, and operations. All the HR related duties were handled by an hourly "HR lead" who mainly created the...
