It's honestly something better avoided. That said I was an offender. It happens when you're an ETL at 19-22 working with people mostly your age/older - you run across good friend potential. I was very careful in how I spent my time outside of work with them and I set a lot of boundaries...

This post is dumb. But yeah on the no taking breaks - I've seen that culture at a couple stores and I absolutely preach to take breaks including to my salaried management. No breaks is simply not good for you, trust me I know I was there it's really a morale destroyer. As for taking long breaks...

technically you get more. It's 6 weeks of training with a dedicated ETL Training. Then you get to your placement store and you are basically on a 6 month training period - essentially you still will be given a lot of support and leeway but after the 6 months or so whenever your STL/DTL want -...

I personally enjoy interns. Given the right environment it's a much better introduction to the leadership team than a fresh hire into an ETL role with 6 weeks of training like I did. It simply wasn't enough time and plagued with one very poor primary ETL trainer I ended up put into a role...

Best answers have been said already but yes - make a consistent paper trail. It can sound unfair and cruel but I can go as far as to start coaching for every minor things and nearly shadow this person to catch them when they slip up. However if I'm doing this to you then you have certainly...

Have done it and am currently doing it. Spot is huge on red tape and having everything in order for these situations. So even if it takes a year to get you gone that is what will be done by most unless you do something heinous enough to get instant termed or get yourself on a CCA/Final quick...

5 interviews? holy cow. I think we're still on 3 with a 4th call being an offer.

If you really want to be an ETL, this might actually be the more sound advice if your district is more common. Believe it or not but external hires cost the company a lot less time than an internal because they make it such an involved process promoting internal ETLs due to how much studying...

I've been at a super target supporting twice a week for the last few weeks and we have an issue with the green door locking since a cart attendant hit it bad a couple weeks ago. Of course I was the one to find this out the night that it was hit. Almost midnight after a hectic night and I went...

My STL is rarely here. He spends most of his time at a local-ish "red" store that is struggling. They have an STL who was only in role for about a month before she left on maternity leave and her baby is having health issues so she's still out for a few more months until she gets through the...

As mentioned above - all ETL's know (or definitely should know) they shouldn't be contacting anyone except other ETLs/STL/other salaried management outside of work about work. The only exception being to use the store phones to call TM's about covering shifts/following up on missed...

This is something we do in my store already. At the core - there is still a Sr-TL or ETL LOD as mentioned previously in this thread - an LOD needs to have codes/keys/etc. However we still place TL's into LOD roles for general questions/direction - mostly this is for TL's who are exceptional in...

Generally all ETL's share same starting salaries if you're a fresh hire. Where I'm from it's relatively lower cost of living part of the US yet minimum ETL starting salaries here are 52k.

we are a pretty average volume pfresh and we have 2 GSTL's and 6 GSA's. 3 gsa's are fairly limited availability though.

I started with an awful experience last year October. Put into a red store. Poor leadership team. STL and a couple ETL's were term'd shortly after my arrival. I was one of few actually working to save work centers. I was hired as ETL HR but kind of assumed all the sales floor myself then my DTL...

at the same time, a solid work center and it really wouldn't be too bad for a position that is pretty much guarantee'd 40 hours a week. That said it could also be extremely tough in a struggling department/store where you needed more than 40 hours. In my last store I was working 60-80 hours a...

18 is the norm. Though from what I know there is no 100% set rule. At a low volume non p-fresh store I support help once a week currently there is a 17 year old GSA. The store does have a very small alcohol section but apparently it has yet to be an issue.

No worries - most stores are similar to where if you are "in the pipeline" you won't be forgotten and will probably be talked about frequently in the ETL/STL meetings. I've had a bit of experience at a few stores now - good and bad stores. Regardless of store - the ETL team is pushed to...

I let my TL-AP and my two TPS's schedule themselves. The two TPS team members give what they want to the TL-AP and between the 3 of them they coordinate it pretty well. They know the coverage we need and what I expect of them. I don't worry about it unless they take advantage of it. It's kind...

From my knowledge, if you get through the 3rd interview and they tell you you'll be getting followed up with via a phone call - you pretty much got it. Heck I honestly think for the most part at the point of the 3rd interview you've got it. Anyways I went through my 3rd and was told so and so...
