I can't seem to find the thread about the made up positions/titles that were absolutely hilarious. Anyone have a link to that thread?

I'd like to seek ideas on how your store manages cosmetics backstock. Cosmetics, like in most stores, is our top shortage category. We can't merchandise protect most of our cosmetics, but we can limit the amount of high priced DPCIs we leave out on the salesfloor. My store appears to have an...

Just out of curiosity, how many hours does an STL work? Is it a minimum of 50?

What are the growth opportunities in ETL pay? Do they occur during annual reviews? What sort of growth should be expected? How long does it usually take to promote to either STL or Business Partner? What changes during these promotions?

New in role ETL here. I noticed under vacation PTO, it says we accrue "3 weeks vacation (120 hours)" but this is *based on a 40 hour work week. I know that ETLs are scheduled for 10 hour shifts. Does this mean we get 5 days less than the 3 weeks mentioned under our benefits?

Ill be doing an LOD shift with our STL next week. What advice could you give an intern on exceeding expectations during my LOD shift?

I'm still a bit unclear on a few things the LOD does besides cheer lead. My questions are... 1. Can I go about dropping a lot of manual CAFs on empty ad locations? How soon could I expect them to be worked onto the salesfloor? Is this a good idea? Any general tips regarding this? 2. If...

We're experiencing a slump in our ytd comp in domestics/housewares, decorative home, and entertainment. Any tips on how to improve these categories?

I was explained this by someone who specializes in retail loss prevention. I think it's a good way to show AP and non-AP tm's how important it is to work together to reduce shrink. TLDR: For every dollar of shrink, it takes about $34 of revenue (sales) to make up for the loss on Target's books...

Can anyone explain the process of being offered an etl position at the end of the executive internship? Do you have to go on through the extended internship? If so, how demanding is it? I'll have to take 27 more credit hours in fairly demanding classes after the summer to graduate. Also, when it...

I'm really interested in becoming a reserve deputy for a TX police agency while also [hopefully] working at TGT as an ETL-AP. A reserve deputy is strictly a volunteer position, minimum 20 hours a month. While I would be a fully comissioned police officer, I cannot act in the capacity of a police...

Hello all, I apologize if this thread already exists, although I couldn't find one after searching. Gaining trust, respect, and dedication as a manager while also balancing team performance is an art. I would like to know what makes an amazing ETL. From team members, tl's, other etls, stls...

I will be doing a store tour next week with my ETL-GE in preparation for my ETL internship. Do you have any pointers for me? Is it a good time to introduce myself to all the members of management at the store or should I wait for orientation? Although it's not 100% confirmed that this'll be my...

Hello guys and gals. I'll be taking on the role of executive intern next summer and I'd like to know if anyone has any advice or pointers for me? I worked as a TPS a few years ago. I have a little bit of management experience and to be quite honest, if I had to choose a work center for the...

Hey guys so correct me if I'm wrong but in my time working as a TPS in a low volume store, I always felt like Supertargets always had more AP action than we did (apps, pmrs, etc.). I'm guessing that has a lot to do with just the sheer size of a Super Target? Can anyone speak on their experience...

Hey guys, so I've got orientation for a TPS position soon and I was wondering... How soon do they get you in a uniform? Do they usually have the right size? And if not, can you get things hemmed / fitted? What should I expect from a TPS orientation? What kind of shoes, belt, flashlight...

Hey guys, I'm interested in the TPS position but I have a few questions... How frequent is injury for a TPS involved in an apprehension? Can you carry any sort of non-lethal weapon (pepper spray, stun gun, etc.) at work? How often does your AP team make apprehensions at your store -- and are...
