    Archived ETL Background Checks?

    <sigh> I suppose that transcript didn't include a class in reading comprehension? Like I said, they don't ALWAYS verify education. Not all districts in the company require an official transcript... they actually take peoples word.

    Archived ETL Background Checks?

    I think it's safe to say since you can't even spell "reckless" correctly, along with your sudden concerns about them verifying your education, you don't have a 4 year degree. FYI - I know they don't (always anyway) verify education. In my years with Target, I have seen two ETL's termed because...

    Archived Getting a business degree?

    How is it strange? It's retail, not computer programming. The job doesn't actually require a degree... it is simply used to screen out undesirables.

    Archived Senior Team Leads! Is it worth it?

    True. Let me show you how using something called math. Sr. TL makes $45,000 annually. Sr. TL works 2080 hours that year. (52 weeks in a year, 40 hours worked a week) Sr. TL therefore makes $21.63/hour. (45000/2080 = 21.63) ETL makes $45,000 annually. ETL works 2600 hours that year. (52...

    Archived Senior Team Leads! Is it worth it?

    Sr TL is the best gig in Target. Here is why: 1. You get the "respect" of an ETL. You are not a neutered TL. You have the same authority as an ETL, keys, etc. (ok, not the exact same authority... but pretty damn near close) 2. Unlike an ETL, you only work 40 hour weeks usually. 3. Since...

    Archived I'm looking to get promoted to Electronics TL. Getting a lot of mixed signals. What are my chances?

    "I'm going to complete the degree eventually," I'f I had a dime for every time I've heard a TM/TL say that..... Even on the off chance you actually truly will follow through with that statement, I hope you realize how many people say that and never actually do. At my old store, I can think of...

    Archived Can someone tell me what are the ETL and STL core roles?

    Errr... no, they wouldn't. ETL's *do not* have to help TMs do their work *unless* they are specifically told by the STL "Hey, go help them out now". How else would you like them to tell you this? Basically, they are telling you it is not their job to do *your* work. This is the same as, for...

    Archived ETL without a degree?

    This was more the case before "achieving excellence"... a lot of stores can't get away with this anymore. Before achieving excellence, my old B volume store that I worked at had 8 hard lines TL's, 7 soft lines TL's, 4 GSTL's, plano TL, price TL, back room TL, log TL, two Sr TL's, starbucks TL...

    Archived ETL without a degree?

    At super high volume stores, they actually do have some overnight logistics TLs who are not key carriers. Hell, my old store was a B volume store and we had an ETL-LOG, Sr TL-Log, and TL-Log. The TL-Log was not a key carrier because our Sr TL or ETL-Log would always be there with him. If...

    Archived ETL without a degree?

    Hate to tell you this, but your ETL-LOG is full of it. He has basically zero ability to get you promoted to ETL for the following reasons: 1. He is leaving the company. That alone puts him on the STL & DTL sh** list. Once someone has announced they are leaving the company, their opinion...

    Archived ETL without a degree?

    They pushed all the ETLs without degrees out the door in my district in the early 2000's. There are some (naive) TMs on this forum who actually believe they have a chance to promote to ETL without a degree.... usually after some ETL who wants to motivate them to work hard for the next few years...

    Archived How can I guarantee a position?

    Sure, go ahead and do it. Just be aware TL requires 40 hours a week with no set schedule. In other words, you won't be able to attend classes anymore and will be a college dropout so that you can make a career in low level retail management for around $11-14/hour.... with hope of possibly...

    Archived Can someone tell me what are the ETL and STL core roles?

    I think the saddest part of this thread is that in all the time since it was posted and all the replies, not one person has actually been able to provide the actual core roles of an ETL or STL. Contrary to the above posting, the core roles are not to "help when the team falls behind". It kind...

    Archived ETL Assignments?

    I wish more people actually understood this. People really don't "get it" that working corporate has literally zero to do with working stores. It doesn't matter if in your career you have worked: Cashier, Sales Floor TM, Logistics TM, Signing, Plano, Sales Floor TL, GSTL, ETL-GE, ETL-AP...

    "Just keep this in mind - Spot looks for leaders, not just executers. You can run your processes well on your own all day, but the real question is are you able to lead a team to execute the processes just as well?" LOL ROFL LMAO...... What store do you work at? Here is how it has been at my...

    Archived Quitting w/out 2 weeks notice

    Here is the problem.... you are an ETL. In my years with Target, I have seen countless ETLs literally get walked out the door by AP (humiliating) after giving two weeks. Target does not like letting ETLs have access to so much after they have made it clear they are leaving because an ETL who...

    Archived Quitting w/out 2 weeks notice

    There is no way a future employer will know if he gave notice or not. Target will not release that information.

    Archived Thinking of applying for ETL in Training...

    ETL salary is actually pretty decent for a new grad. Unless he majored in a STEM field, he will get a similar salary range anywhere he goes.

    Haven't really been looking. Probably will stay with target.

    Archived College Transcripts?? Degree type??

    It is me. It's ok though, I like the new name. It marks a new beginning for me. I have decided to work on being nicer to people. From now on, I renounce darkness and will walk in the path of light.
