So at my store we've recently had a tm be promoted to srtl after our flow TL left. This tm was on the bench and signed off as a TL. My question is when you are signed off as a TL can you jump TL to senior?

 

[60SecondsRemaining]

Based on head count, most flow TLS in lower volume stores will be srtls. Because they are normally key carriers, it is cheaper to utilize them as a senior than to hire an additional etl. So in this particular situation yes, it is a probable jump.

Does said TM have a degree? If so, he/she might be on track for an eventual ETL promotion.

 

[Waterbabe12]

That makes total sense. We are and ulv

@Waterbabe12 . That almost describes something going on in my store.....I wonder if we know each other now . I have a question to add to this...can a TL be promoted to a srtl when they don't have a degree and they are not in the process of working on one ...

 

[whippingboy]

Yes. I've seen Team Members move up the ranks to ETL with no degree.

Sure can! There are several ETLs that don't have degrees or intentions of getting a degree.

My store tried to get me to take the SrTL position without a degree and knowning that I want to leave within a year. I still declined. I don't make nearly enough to put up with that bs.

Depends on your district as does every other Target "rule". the last district I was in got rid of all ETLs that did not have a degree. They would not even consider an ETL without the degree. And yes you can jump right into a SrTL position but again it will depend on your district.

SrTL doesn't have a degree requirement, so tms can technically be promoted form tm to SrTL. Usually though, SrTLs have spent time as a TL. And seniors make good money compared to a paygrade 9 ETL. Once ETLs start making paygrades though, SrTL pay isn't as comparable; but, SrTLs don't usually have to work more than 40 hours.

I had a regular TL (dayside BR) who was making $23 hr compared to others (average $18). And our Sr.TLs made even more. Definitely not bad plus you don't have to work over 40 hours, and if you do, you get time and a half.

When my ETL-Replenishment was promoted from Sr.TL to ETL he took a pay cut. But as you said, the next paygrades are much higher, "Then again you are expected to work a minimum of 50 hrs. Either way Sr.TL or ETL isn't too bad of a job. Good time to make money while you don't have a wife/husband/kids. or if you're really good a balancing work/life.
