    Archived Scheduling

    You can ask that they involve you in that process for the sake of your development but at the end of the day, it would be only so you learn why they schedule the way do. Not so they write the schedule the way you think it should be written. It is their responsibility, not yours. Plus, you've...

    Derp. If it helps, so am I.

    Archived TL Interview advice

    Can't stress this enough. My current TL is far too wrapped up in certain tasks and it's showing in other areas of my workcenter. And other Leads throughout the store are always pushing me to get results I can't get alone for the goal of getting me used to leading effectively and it's absolutely...

    Archived College degree

    Don't look at it like you'd be stepping on toes, instead look it at it like you're realizing your potential and working in the best possible capacity to benefit Target. If you're capable of being a good ETL but you're holding yourself back with a SrTL position, Target is worse off for that...

    Archived Where do you apply for positions within the company?

    My store is the same way, a lot of people think they're TL material but they're not in the pipeline. Most are actually my senior in terms of time they've been employed vs the time I've been here but my STL in one way or another has made it obvious I'm one of the favorites. Lot of really...

    Archived Advice for a new PA.

    Thanks for the responses everyone, it's all been helpful! I actually do get along pretty well with all the vendors that come through in the afternoon. Though there's been a few times where they dump their cardboard wherever they please or they don't adequately stack and wrap their pellets...

    Archived Advice for a new PA.

    So last week I spoke to my ETL-Logistics as well as the Consumables TL, ETL-Salesfloor and even my STL about moving to Market team as a PA as the next step in my development into a TL and they all signed off on that move, my replacement for backroom has already been hired and is being trained...

    Archived What happens when a food TL demotes

    On paper my store is the same way with regard to logistics leadership. Flow TL and then Recieving and Instocks SrTL but they're fairly interchangeable. They have both have days where one will cover the other's department(s) if it's their day off. And they always always always leave at noon so...

    Archived Criticised due to culture

    What I take that to mean is sometimes it's easy to get caught up whatever task you're currently working on and fail to notice that other tasks are being neglected. So as a TL, you have to be able to maintain focus on the bigger picture of your department. That isn't to say you don't get...

    What was the time frame for your transitions between Seasonal HLTM and Consumables TL?

    Archived Things are really looking up now

    Thank you! I didn't name my ETL-Salesfloor in my original post but she gave some valuable direction fairly early on that I absolutely needed and wasn't insignificant in my being on the right path. And I really wouldn't have had the chance to step up and take on an expanded role throughout the...

    Archived Things are really looking up now

    This isn't a thread for advice or anything, just really soaking in how far I've come in the past 6 months and letting myself be proud of that for a moment. At the end of December I took my first job in retail as a Dayside Backroom TM. Now I've worked entry level jobs in almost all other major...

    Archived Your STL

    My STL is fantastic, she strives to have a presence in the store beyond simply leading the ETLs here, and on top of that she's amazingly energetic and just an all around positive person. But at the same time still tough when she needs to be. I have nothing but respect for my STL.

    Archived ETL-HR

    Most of the word saying ETL-HR is being phased out is coming out of most states except California, at least as far as i can tell thats true. For one reason or another we've been able to keep that position open here. I'm sure it has something to do with headcount on the store level

    Archived What to expect from having a mentor?

    I think she's seen something for awhile now because she's always pushed me to take charge of the backroom and hold people accountable. But it wasn't until my SrTL told my STL and the rest of management that I'm looking to promote that she started pushing me even harder to start leading backroom...

    Archived What to expect from having a mentor?

    She already is in a way and heaven knows having an STL interested in developing a TM is invalueable but the simple truth of things is there will be times she's just too busy. And because of that, my learning and growth shouldn't be halted during those times. Hence finding someone else to help...

    Archived What to expect from having a mentor?

    My STL has been working closely with me to develop me into a TL and help me grow into that before it becomes official so the transition from TM to TL is seamless. Well during a conversation today, she recommended I seek out a mentor to assist with that process but launched right into asking...

    Archived SrTl flow AA store

    Seeing flow team for a AA store would be a little like staring into the abyss and having it stare back. Then again, I am pretty green still. Just started working for Target 5 months ago.

    Bench advice

    Ever since I learned about the Pipeline and what it is, I've kind of had a disdain for it and haven't been super eager to assert myself and say I want to be developed. Mostly because I like to think I'm capable of figuring out what I should be improving and executing on that improvement. I do...

    Bench advice

    Would a hypothetical candidate be approached by management or would said candidate have to seek management out and request them? Also how often are they typically held, like is it am annual thing?
