So I've worked at Target for a number of years, in a variety of roles as a TM, specialist and TL. I'm not a TL anymore; I voluntarily stepped down a year ago for personal reasons. I enjoy working for Target, and I've accumulated a vast amount of knowledge over the years that I would like to be able to continue to use, instead of basically tossing it all away if I changed companies. All that said, I'm really not interested in doing the TL/ETL/STL track, etc. I did the TL for several years, and while I can do it well it's just not something I enjoy.
All that prefacing said now, does anyone around here have knowledge of what other options there are? I mean, I'm aware in general of things like both the business partners, as well as the corporate level stuff but I could use more specific advice. I think I would enjoy something like the Remodel Specialist position, or maybe something like designing the planograms/ISM campaigns or something. I know that the business partner positions are usually used as a stepping stone for ETLs to STL, but is that always the case? Are there other options that I'm not aware of? It seems crazy to me that unless you want to go in to management, there aren't a whole lot of options for a TM that excels at there job, works hard and is reliable, and is extremely adaptable to move up at Target.
