In my humble opinion, APTL is the absolute best position in the store. Your roles involve: keeping the store safe and secure by driving safety best practices and ensuring key control is followed, etc; reducing shortage by driving down theft and fraud and following up on operational issues; and maintaining community engagement with law enforcement through events like National Night Out.
What will you be doing?
Apprehending shoplifters.
Making sure TPS are following their core roles.
Partnering with ETLs to resolve shortage issues in their departments.
Leading internal investigations on team members.
Actively communicating with your peers in the district.
And I won't lie here, watching a lot of video and reading a lot of reports.
If you have the ability to demonstrate courage and are a good communicator its a great position. You get so much flexibility, its a totally different experience from any other workcenter. You're basically an ETL without the additional hours, stress, LOD duties!
Long story short, do it!
Edit: All that being said, its usually very difficult becoming an APTL if you aren't already in AP. There's going to be a lot of people in the district who are in AP who want it. But if the STL is behind you on it, anything is possible. He makes the final decision!
