vml

I have been a Vml/Vmtl/Vm with Target since its inception 3 years ago. Most of us came from leadership positions with other retailers where we were already making good money. I myself, was making $15 an hour with 40+ hours per week, bonuses, and an awesome discount. I also received week long...

This is what happened to our store today. Our PMT has moved to HR. Our hardlines team lead is now the property manager. So we needed to figure out who will run hardlines. We cant hire anymore team leads because we’re at head count for TLs. Today, our STL announced in our meeting that the...

Hello! I’ve been trying to order additional shelves for the white bookcases in home innovation and I haven’t been able to find the part number. If anyone knows it or a which resource to use on workbench, I’d greatly appreciate it :)

If you’re a VM, what does your every day look like? Do you work mostly in hardlines or softlines? How do team members treat you? Especially now since we are “team leaders”. Do you have a set schedule that never changes? What times do you usually work? I’m curious as I feel like my experience...

Hi week of thanksgiving I'm scheduled under visual merchandising. I'm full time softlines/ operator . Wonder what I will be doing ?

Okay, all you VMLs out there. We have a new VML whom the store doesn't seem to think it's necessary to train. She understands the softlines side but not the hardlines side. So a few questions: #1 - How do you know which POGs are yours in hardlines? #2 - Is there a certain section under the...

Anyone been hired under the new changes in the VML position? What's your experience like so far as store visual merchandiser? Are you being allowed to focus on the visual areas of the store or are you getting pulled into other work centers to the detriment of the job you've actually been hired...

Hey guys! Has anyone seen a store that as 2 Visual Merchanding Team Leaders? My store is very low volume, we usually do $150 and that's a busy weekend. Black Friday we did $300 over the thurs-Friday combo. We have 2 SF Team Leads. But yet today I was informed we are getting another VMTL...

So today my store asked me if I would like to be fully in charge of softlines adjacencies.... scheduling the team, making sure POGs are set, etc. I am extremely comfortable working in softlines, but it makes me question the role of the actual softlines TL... does anyone else have a similar setup...

I am posting on behalf of my VMTL friend at another store who has run into a difficult situation. Over Q4 they were predominantly in hardlines.... toys/seasonal/trend runs/endcap fill which kept them busy 40 hours/week. Now that Q4 is over he wants to go back to spending 50/50 time in hardlines...

Can someone explain to me what all shopability entails? we were supposed to make sure we were following maps for our store and remove extra racks. we were supposed to not be cramming merchandise out on the floor. ya-da ya-da but our VML is working against everyone. She won't let us extend the...

I know there is a VML thread, but too many comments to find what I'm looking for! I've seen VML positions available online at other stores, and by the description(a vague one) it seems like something I would like to know about! So can any of you tell me what a VML does on a daily basis, do you...

So... RIP to the Home Reno that occurred over the holiday season, as Target is backstepping and removing it from all stores. Just got word my store is starting the unmodel next week, and it'll be a six week project. All the decorative Pier 1, furniture showroom esque displays will be removed and...

I have seen on this site that some stores have a merchandising brand TM. Is this true? My store doesn't have one, but we have a SL ETL, 2 SL TLs, a VML, a shoe brand TM, and a Jewelry/accessories brand TM. My ETL recently started assigning me merchandising projects and he told me that I should...

I posted this on the Target subreddit, but I want to get this forum's opinions as well. I interviewed for the VML position and didn't get it, but I am now on the bench and my STL/HR-ETL/SL-ETL are grooming me toward being able to interview again in 4-6 months. I'm being promoted to a brand team...

I know there has been a lot of talk about VML and man do I have a lot of thought on the subject. Ok so here goes , first I think there are a lot of misconceptions as to what the job is. First yes it pay grade 17 but no your not a SrTL. The reason they made the position a pg17 was so they...

So i have been approached by my STL to apply for the Vml postion. Thing is i am already a hardlinea senior team leader she says that if i get the position it would be great exposer and she has better chance at fighting for me to be an ETL without a degree. My issue is that i keep tossing and...

I'm interviewing for this position next week. Can anyone tell me what the interview will consist of? I'm applying internally, so does that mean I get to skip a interview?

Has anyone heard of this position? As far as I know it's new, but maybe it's just new to my area... It sounds like a logical next step after assigning planograms to presentation to allow SL to focus on guest service. I actually really like this move and hope it's a sign the Spot is getting wise...
