Same😅 and I was one of them.

Target generally doesn’t want stores to promote individuals within the same store. That is a real thing. Promoting and transferring within the district is typically what occurs especially for ETLs. With that being said, there are instances where it does happen in the same store.

It’s not that they like external candidates more.. sadly it’s just easier to hire one person rather than promote and deal with another hiring need. That’s why it’s important to develop someone to take your role if you want to promote. It also gives you something to speak to

Just some tips: if you go through your 18 months and exceed outcomes and have good results, and your SD knows you want an ETL role, they may find you a store and position that works for you, but if that happens do not get your hopes up because as soon as a decent external candidate applies they...

I’m glad Target is taking a step back and going more for process teams but sadly I think they will try to do this with little payroll and just F it all up

There should be a study guide at the end after the pretest that you can print off that gives you all the information you need to know summarized in a packet. That and taking the pretest more than once helped me. I took a bunch of notes but it was a waste of time honestly.

But this usually has to do with leaders not enforcing policy and performance managing. S&E attendance is probably the worst in my store and when closing, i’m constantly sending support for the same repeat offenders with attendance issues. Yet zero documentation and enforcement of policy is why...

From a developmental standpoint, reporting directly to the store director as closing TL is enough to get you the exposure you need to make the next step. SD’s tend to hold Closing TLs to a higher standard than their peers but not in all cases. I believe this role helps individuals see the big...

All stores are different, all positions have their downfalls, if you want to be a TL just apply for the first thing that comes up.

They all have their pros and cons like anything.. when you say best do you mean least amount of work, best for development, or what..?

Most of us (especially TL) are getting small base pay bumps across the board so like previously, the ones already in role get nothing as they are compensated slightly higher. Thus, brand new TLs are the only ones that benefit. Only 1 TL in PG45 in my store got a raise when our base increased...

Is this all stores? This is unheard of in mine..

You’re wrong. Stop commenting this idea throughout the site. What is correct, though, is that in the last few years, target has decided to do something about their leadership consisting mostly of 1 to 2 particular groups of people in society.. and that is white men and women and in a lot of...

Has anyone heard anything about the Q2 TL performance bonus? Like how much and when the chosen candidates may receive it?

This is frustrating. Hang in there and do your best. Maybe start by taking note of what you are accomplishing each day and when you get coached by said SD for not completing all aspects of your job lay down x, y, and z that you completed for the day/week and ask for their “superior” advice as to...

Interesting. I am just near my 18 months and about to start interview prep for ETL. My SD talked me into going for an ETL role while delivering my review a few months back. I have talked face to face with DSD and HRBP only one time and they thanked me for my impact on a number of things and ask...

You were told you couldn’t promote to ETL from closing TL? In my experience, many leaders have thought of closing TL as a global role and a fast track to ETL. But ASANTS of course and districts

I’ve been a Closing TL for about a year and a half now. This job is a serious love hate relationship. There are so many pros and cons like anything but be ready to be held to a higher standard than your peers with the same pay. What kind of gaps are you looking to close taking on this position?

When i close, i have had perimeter checks take 5 mins and some that have taken longer than the 15 mins depending on what i find…. it involves arming the building, locking the last few doors, driving around the entire perimeter of the building, and making sure the pin lock is positioned on the...

I felt this hard. As closing TL my safe and secure walk is the most thorough compared to others, and while doing the walk I have TM’s that have made comments like “when you close I am here the latest” “when other leaders close we leave a few mins after 10” I have partnered with AP on this...
