Archived Training Soon

Hi, I start training for GSA on Sunday. I am an external hire if that helps so I'm really learning everything. Sunday and Monday they have me training in the cash office and Tuesday in Guest Service. I leave for a short vacation that I've had booked since December on Wednesday for the rest of the week which is why they have me training 3 days in a row. If it was last minute I would have just cancelled it to make everyone's lives easier. Otherwise they said they would have spread out my first week of training a little more. I have some questions. Our orientation wasn't super informative and even when we tried to ask questions they kind of got rushed along.

1. Does anyone have any tips for starting training on Sunday? I heard its the busiest day.
2. On my first day on training how do I find the person who is training me? I only have her name. Do I ask the person at the front desk in the employee area?
3. How do I get a username and password for eH? I've been hearing all about it but I'm confused as to how I find that.
4. Can I bring my Direct Deposit information on my first day of training and set it up that day? My friend told me he set it up weeks after working so I'm not sure if I can just get it done early.

Thanks!!

Go on vacation & enjoy it. Go to guest services, they tell where to go. You should have a temp card with your tm number on it. Then you can the direct deposit thing. Ask questions!
Be patient, your trainer should cover all things.
Here is a guide for GSA's:

1. Busiest day depends on the store, but if Sunday is the busiest day, I suggest you remember you are new and not knowledgeable about everything. It is okay to ask for help. You may be overwhelmed day one, but you will get used to it. I promise.
2. If you don't know who is training you, ask LOD. If you don't want to do that, ask GSA or current GSTL. No one will judge you for not knowing who your trainer is, I didn't when I started,
3. I honestly don't remember how to get a password set, sorry. Ask the LOD or HR
4. Yes you can! I did! Just remember that it may take up to two paychecks for settings to go through. Mine went through after 1 paycheck, but my experience may be different than yours.


Best of luck to you!
