    if I'm graduating with a BA in May, when can I apply for ETL positions?

    Internship is for current college students for the summer between their junior and senior years. Can stay on as an extended intern during their senior year if they do well during the summer, there’s room in the budget, and Target wants to offer them an ETL role upon graduation. Current TMs are...

    Archived Brand Spankin’ New Consumables TL

    Take the time to learn how Target’s systems and processes work (or at least how they’re supposed to) before you try to make any changes to anything. But if you see verifiable inefficiencies, then don’t be afraid to make changes.

    Do all TMs have dedicated areas or do you wave? Are custom blocks efficient?

    Archived Team Leader Paygrades - 11 vs. 13

    Senior TLs are key carriers, but they do not get extra money for being a key carrier. The key carrier responsibilities are factored into the N17 base rate. Except for VMTLs. They are N17 without being a key carrier.

    Archived Etl lying on coaching document

    Stuff like that shouldn't be left saved on shared desktops as it is a violation of confidentiality and Target's information protection policy. That said, any team member or leader who opens it knowing that it doesn't concern them or continues to read it once they realize what it is and that it...

    Archived ETL Hours?

    I think it also depends on the person. I'm HR and I put in my time. I have a team that I can delegate too and I take care of the stuff they literally can not do. I spend 80%+ of my time out on the floor or in the back. I know of other HR that's may not even work a full 40 and they spend 80%+ of...

    Archived ETL Hours?

    Depends on the store and your STL. I just came off a 12 hour day. Worked 10s Sunday and Monday. Will probably work 12 again tomorrow. Bounceback is in full force right now. I've worked at least 60 every week for the past month including working from home or a nearby store on my days off. Other...

    Archived ETL- what's next after the 4th interview?

    Usually you end up getting a call from an STL later about your offer. They might be doing a lot of interviews for fewer spots. Who knows?

    Archived New TL Question?

    You're most likely a backfill for someone promoting, quitting, or being performanced out. There's a small chance that they could expect to move up an org chart and gain an additional leader. Whatever it is, kudos to them for proactively staffing!

    Archived Switching companys: is it worth it?

    Target is not for everyone. It's a different, fast paced, competitive culture and the company is in a transitional period. Above all else leaders need to be resilient and adaptable. That's the only way to thrive at target. You make your career at Target. You have to decide where you want to go...

    Archived HRBP

    So it's kind of weird, but BPs are sort of still at the ETL level. They are a higher paygrade than starting ETLs and more visible throughout the district than a lot of ETLs, but it's really not "above" an STL. They're partners for the district so that you have experts in some key areas as a...

    Archived LODs?

    Personally I think all ETLs except AP should be responding for backup just like everyone else. The only one I don't think should be on a lane is the current LOD in case there is a call for LOD.

    Archived VML from a leadership perspective

    Used to be able to do just this with sales tracking. Used to be on RF Apps...SLS1 and SLS2? Something like that. There was one to add DPCIs to a sales tracking collection, and then the other was to end the sales tracking. You could pull the report through store apps on the signing and label pc...

    Logistics team lead could also be Backroom + Instocks. That's the official role of a "Logistics" TL.

    Well that makes sense. A green store on paper is much better than a full store that has product to sell.

    Archived ETL Placement

    It really all depends on the needs of the district and you. But mostly the needs of the district. And like @Rock Lobster said...you won't be doing only HR. You'll have to be put pushing freight and redcards just like the rest of the store, but you do get to cram your HR stuff in here and there.

    Archived TLs promoted to ETLs

    I've seen lots of TLs promoted to ETLs. I know a person who went from softlines to Starbucks to hardlines to electronics to TPS to ETL-AP and is now an APBP. A lot of it has to do with the quality of the leader. Many TLs in my district don't want to be a SrTL or an ETL. Many shouldn't even be...

    Archived ETL business college

    So here's the thing. ETL can be a demanding job. Retail in general is not as easy as everyone thinks it is. For external hires who have never worked retail, Target ETL can be extremely frustrating and most are ill equipped to handle the stress. They have no clue what they are getting into and...
