First thing first! I'd like to introduce myself.. I'm new to the forums and just passed my 90 day mark at spot. I'm just an average joe, and happy to have found this place.. went through lots of information and interesting stories.
My primary inquiry involves internal promotions. My store is relatively new, opened about 18 months ago, but has gone through several management changes already. As of now, the store does not have a STL or even a Sr. TL, and so there's no word on when replacements will come in. I came into spot to just test the waters, to see if I would enjoy retail and it turns out I do, and so I'd like to move up the ranks, preferably to an ETL position at the very least. However, without proper management at the store, there's no proper channels I can proceed through and so I'm here to see if anyone has any insights as to how i can approach the situation. Shall I keep waiting and hope they find replacements soon? Apply to an open ETL positions at another store while still being a TM at my current store, or just resign my position and reapply fresh as an ETL?
As far as a little background.. I have no direct experience in retail. I have a few years of supervisory experience as well as in customer service. I have an associates in Business Administration and a BA in Economics.
Thanks in advance for any insights provided!
