Hi leaders/other people reading this thread! Kind and fabulous Cashier/Hardlines TM here...
I was recently approached by my ETL, and she along with the STL claim I would be a good fit for the Pipeline program. She seriously was asking me if I wanted to spend the next few decades with Target. Now, I am a forward thinking person, so I'm giving it some consideration. But what are the perks? I mean, I think I would be a good TL; but obviously now isn't a good time to be a TL since I haven't even surpassed my 90 day mark. However should I be some sort of leader one day, I feel I would have the ability to direct and approach things in a very neutral, and progressive fashion, and I would absolutely be able to relate to most any concerns someone would have, especially after I have some significant experience under my belt.
But I guess my real question(s) have more to do with the program, and not necessarily the tasks associated with the jobs. Does the Pipeline program pay for college tuition? How long does it take to move up the "ladder"? Whats it like to have a management job in retail? Can I advance to a corporate position one day? Will my duties involve nothing but REDcards (since that's all my job is now)? Can I leave the Pipeline if it gets stressful? Should I try to impress my DTL? Is there some sort of competition between people in the Pipeline?
Jesus I have so many more questions. If you read all that, Thank You for listening to me babble! If anyone here can provide some insight, please give it to me. I'm looking for any guidance I can get! *steps down from up&up soap box*
