Hey everyone, so without being too long winded, here's my situation:
I work at a Target store in Canada, I worked flow for 8 months at one store (also crosstrained in backroom, instocks, and presentation) leading the breakout and push for softlines. After this, I transferred to a different store to go to school. Because I was going to be in school I wanted to stop doing early mornings so I asked to be salesfloor on the softlines side. Within a couple of months my ETL and TL decided to start giving me softlines Brand shifts and I ended up transitioning to doing Brand all of the time. I am off school for the summer now and I am working as much as possible and really starting to build up a good reputation with TLs, ETLs, and even the STL through the store. Even the salesfloor and flow people come to me to ask questions. Right now I work mainly brand but I also of course cover the operator/fitting room, electronics, and back up cash at times and have worked one or two cash shifts.
The thing is that there has recently been a couple of shifts in terms of leadership (which I'm not necessarily too fond of at this point) and some GSA positions just opened up. Do you guys think that switching to GSA would improve or hurt my general reputation in the store and would it be a good step to take or not? I really can't decide. So far from what I've read it seems like people think that this is a good stepping stone to a TL position (although I'm not sure I'm totally interested in this, but all of my TLs and ETLs so far have told me that I should continue working at Target after I get my degree and work my way up).
Any thoughts on Salesfloor brand vs. GSA positions? Any insight would be awesome!!
