Trowa: I was a Mech 2

ugh, a sorter crash, that was alway a BAD time for anyone in a green shirt. I do have to say though a crash or incident on those Crisplant S2000's are a lot cleaner and easier to recover from than a failure on a Buemer 2d sorter

yhea don't get on here as much since I got fired.

cargo control equipment costs $ the damaged product can be written off the balance sheets. basically it all boils down to saving $

I know this is a way old thread, but i haven't been on here in forever, so... The DC in not responsible for deciding what is pipo verses conveyable and Non-Con. Thats the job of logistics at corporate, now there was a level of freedom to override some things But that was up to your...

much like Trowa, i had a phone interview and then a in person interview followed about 3-5 minutes later with a job offer( might not have been that long i didn't even leave the property before i had the offer) A lot depends on what level of position you applied for

At the DC I worked at there were indeed 2 AP positions the GL and the tech, basicly they watched cameras, did the empty box audits on the stores and a few other minor tasks like printing up replacement badges. the security functions were contracted out. It's probably not a bad position to be in...

well I can't give you first hand knowledge, Fac-Ops was one of the exemptions to the physical assessment testing, but from hearsay all the test consisted of was stacking weighted boxes on a shelf with the aid of a stepstool without letting your heart rate exceed a set range. From looking at some...

couldn't tell you, inspecting the repack is part of the packers job, but as productivity quota's increase things are going to get worse over time

ok, related question. Does anyone know what level of turnover is considered poor management by Target? In E&F you have 2 groups of employee's Mechanics and UA's this "leader" is looking at having turnovers of 80% and 50% respectively in a VERY short time frame.

Hi newguy: I know the typical GL will start in the mid 50k to 60k a year range. The key and possition you would receive depends on the needs of Target, in other words where ever they have an active opening. As far as I know there is no signing bonus, however Target will provide...

Well Sweedey, there's an old saying in E&F, really just sage feedback that I've got from people with over 20 years with Target, A GL's 2 responsibilities are .... Pay checks and Par Forms. Now that's not to say there aren't a lot of little things that can help influence your team. I don't...

To some extent, and yes much like you store team members we really wish Target would make it a requirement to actually have some sort of job specific knowledge before trying to lead a group. I mean I sorta understand the theory behind requiring a 4 year degree, but that's gotta be substitutable...

oh, I'm aware of how fast they change out GL's, I hope this one will go far away soon

Things are getting to the point where my GL appears that he's going for the title of "worst boss I've ever had". So I guess It may be time for me to start job hunting, it sucks but that's life right. I would put in more specifics but that would possibly ruin anonymity.

Target does hire both experienced and college fresh GL's. The GL's that I have seen come in with more real word experience seem to do better in the long run as they have already learned quite a few lessons on dealing with people, however they seem to have a harder time learning "Brand". I can...

Actually from what you described you sound like a VERY strong candidate for any GL position, and one that may be good to work for. I don't know if they're still active but I'd recommend PM'ing users Enswitzer or RG3, both are recently hired GL's and may be able to give you targeted advise on...

Targethopeful: In my DC, I have not witnessed any New SGL's being hired externally. That's not saying it doesn't happen, Just that the 2 SGL's that I've seen come on board in the last 2 1/2 years have been internal candidates. Now since I'm stuck on A2, I don't regularly interact with my...

Getting ready to go in to work, I'll give you an answer tomorrow.

yep, no need to answer what's already been answered I figured. BizMan: When your STL told you they had connections with "leadership" at a DC I'm going to assume they were referring to Washington state as opposed to Washington DC, as there is a IW in Lacey specifically T-600. If your goal...
