    Archived Pay grades and negotiation

    Always ask for more, and be able to back it up with solid reasoning. The worst that can happen is they say no.

    Archived Losing Team Lead position?

    Hotline? Lawyer? What are you trying to accomplish here?

    Archived I left back doors lock so they say !

    Hopefully the TPS can confirm your story, so that nobody gets in trouble... rather than trying to throw the TPS under the bus with you.

    Archived Taking a "Leadership" class

    Why would you take a leadership course at Target that's designed to help you become a team lead when you don't want to be a team lead? Anyway, if your store is holding the class, I'm sure you could fake it long enough to at least attend the class.

    Archived GSA? HR? What?!

    HRTM is definitely a promotion over FA. Honestly pretty much anything is a promotion over FA.

    Archived New Team Leader...Preparing to be hated

    If your experience is like mine you will encounter the majority of your resistance when dealing with other leaders, not regular TM's. TM's can be convinced to support AP fairly easily, but getting the buy-in from other leaders who have multiple deadlines and only a limited amount of hours to...

    Archived false placement on bench

    Having someone on the bench is just as good for the store and/or district as it is for that particular TM, as it assures the store's leadership won't be short handed when the inevitable TL opening happens.

    Bench advice

    I see a couple inaccurate or misleading comments posted in this thread. I see a lot of misinformation on this forum, occasionally I feel like speaking up about it. It's not the end of the world though :)

    Bench advice

    There seems to be some misconceptions in this thread about what the TL bench is. Someone can be on the bench for one day and get a TL position. It's not a development bench, it's a "This TM has already passed Interviews and is waiting for the right position" bench. There many reasons a person...

    Archived Negotiating TL Pay?

    It's possible right before they make their offer they will ask how much you expect. They did for me, but I was an external candidate. As an internal candidate, it's more likely that after passing interviews, the ETL-HR will make their offer to you. That's when you ask for more. You can ask your...

    Archived PATL to ETL?

    Funny enough, at my old AAA Super T, the only ETL without a degree was the overnight replen. My ETL told me she (the overnight ETL) was stuck in that position until she got a degree.

    Archived GSA to TPS

    Congratulations! I think AP is the best department to work in. Of course I may be biased ;) Make sure you memorize the AP directives. They are your new Target bible.

    Archived Wait for ETL or Bench now?

    Listen to the STL who wants to make you an ETL, not your TL friend who wants to put you on the TL bench. Which doesn't even guarantee a TL spot anytime soon btw, my last store had a TM on the bench for two years. You're not a freshman, you only have 11 months to go. Follow the good advice given...

    Archived Do you really have to wait 18 months to move to another TL role?

    It definitely varies from district to district. You need to ask around to determine if your district is strict about the 18 month rule, or believes more in right person, right place, right time.

    Archived Team Lead Pay

    I am an external hire in a LCOL area, and have prior experience in AP. I started off at $16.50 an hour. Not bad for a TL, although APTL's are the highest non-senior paygrade, so in that sense it's not as exciting. I know the majority of APTL's in my district make less than me, some...

    Archived ETL to STL

    I would think at that level it's more about the person than what ETL position they had/have. For instance my current STL was a foodie. No HR experience, no Logistics experience, just food ETL in a Super Target. And now they are an STL of a low volume store that doesn't even have Pfresh. Clearly...

    Archived Got passed over for a promotion because...

    I'm sorry that happened to you. If you really want to promote with Target, don't lose hope or show your frustrations outwardly by becoming more lax at work or letting your stats drop. Back during my first stint with Target when I was a Sr TPS (and younger and dumber), and didn't get a promotion...

    Archived Internal to Intern? Process?

    Not speaking personally (obviously), but this is what I've seen from both our current intern and the two new interns. They basically did ETL interviews. So they interviewed with an STL, DTL, and HRBP. All have been assigned stores in their current district, but none were able to (or will be able...

    Archived Internal to Intern? Process?

    "Rarity" must depend on District. Two team members at my low volume store are set to become interns this summer. Their path was to talk to the STL (who manages the intern program/process) and express their interest. Both have been Target TM's for a couple years each while they have been in...

    Archived Team Member refuses to do backup cashiering

    I've gotten more redcards in the last year than some of the other TL's who actually do regular backups. No one is going to be firing me for being global :)
