Archived Flow to GSA?

[targetlyfe]

I was just asked by ETL-GE to become a GSA and I'm not quite sure if I should take it or not. Currently, I've been on flow for the last 9 months and are not desperate to leave but the 5am and 15 hours a week is getting old. I've asked to be moved into backroom (I'm already trained) but they just haven't. I'm also pricing back up and I'm considering asking for a permanent position before I move to GSA. I'm concerned because I have very little (one day) of casher experience and I know that training for GSA will be little to none. What are your thoughts?

Run.
This is a position you do NOT want.
Coming from BR to front lanes with screaming guests, GSTLs & ETLs on your butt about redcards & backup cashiers.
Run screaming into the night.

A suggestion:
Watch how the front end works, you are buying something & waiting in line.

I'm hearing a consensus. I'm still considering it. The ETL knows I'm leaving in June so it would be a short term position. We shall see. I'm going to discuss it also with my friend who is currently a GSA at the store and see what she says. Thanks for the advice!

Was the ETL joking? GSA is possibly the farthest TM position away from Flow.

SFSFun- exactly. I do make it a point to talk to most every guest I pass and I am high energy. But with only 4 GSA's in the whole store it's crazy hours and all of them are beat. One moved to floor and the other one quit yesterday. I am going to stay away from GSA and ask for a different position.

Four months? Take it. It will look good on a resume. But if there is any chance you will stick around, run. Quickly.

Retail Girl- after I talked to the ETL she took back her offer due to the short time commitment.

Bullet dodged.
