That is true. I have definitely seen people be pulled around at target based on company needs. Thanks for the reminder! I needed it.

Thanks for the reply! This is a good reminder. I have always been weary of ETL positions due to the long hours while being salaried, but then was starting to feel more curious about it as positions have been opening up. People always speak highly of “life after target” though, and I think that...

Thanks for the reply! I didn’t think about the aspect of using target only HR systems. That makes sense though that it would be a hindrance when trying to leave. I have been debating doing some classes or program through guild as a means to get out of target as well, this may be a better option...

Recent communication quoted a certain number of TLs that have moved into ETL roles this year so far. Although I know there are various reasons for an ETL position to open up, I can’t help but think that it’s due to the struggling company, unrealistic standards, and low raises. All this to...

What was your raise this year?

There was a post last year with a poll for raise percentages. Wondering if there is one for this year that I missed? Last years’ was : FY 2023 Annual Pay and Performance - Team Leaders (PG45).

Thank you! That is good to know that it would generally be an ETL position that would be next. That’s cool about the HQ roles. I’m not in the area, but I can imagine it does get very saturated, like you said for positions. I appreciate the info! Are you aiming for a business partner role one day?

I come in any time there is bigger set on the weekend. Usually family gateway, heritage moments, or street dated sets. This is generally Sundays and not both weekend days. I do not have other retail experience. My background is in digital design which I felt translated into this role. Yes, I...

All of our Knox Rose has gone clearance to make room for the dress shop. I believe the salvage date is the first week of Feb. We don’t carry women’s denizen at our store anymore, but I know we’ve had guests frustrated with the lack of UT denim selection lately as everything has sold down...

I’m curious about the annual raises and how much generally a VM will see (what percentage.) I have been in role since last year, thanks to the help of this forum! With one of my top TL peers moving up soon and shifting work centers due to realignment, I am feeling that my workload is going to...

Just wanted to follow up here for anyone that uses this post in the future as a resource. I got offered the position and have been in role for a few months now! Thank you to everyone for the info, pointers, etc. The role has been going well and I’m enjoying it. :) Didn’t end up doing an...

thanks again for this info! I interviewed with my ETL on Friday. Focused on relevant past experiences like suggested (background in design) and also threw out some key words like the LADS stuff, symmetry, sight lines, etc like suggested. Interviewing with store director tomorrow. This is the one...

Omg. Duh! Thank you!

I’ve heard from other TMs at my store that we’ve had 3 VMs in the past 4 years. Two of them lasted a short time. The most recent one was almost 2 years.

Great! Thank you so much. Just talked to my ETL and he asked if I can interview tomorrow. This one will be with him and HR. He said second round would be store director if I’m moved through. He did mention that they have several external applicants as well. I’ve been looking through VMG...

I will definitely ask HR about this. She mentioned practicing, but I wasn’t sure if this was a real offer! Good to know! Thank you!

Thank you! This is good to know! I’m going to ask the current VM about the floor interview aspect tomorrow!

thank you so much! This is super helpful. What does VMD stand for? I’m not sure my store has this position. So did you have a sample project they had you do on the floor as part of an interview? And I appreciate the feedback in the pay too. I would honestly be happy with the minimum range in...

I was searching but couldn’t find a thread with answers for this. LMK if I missed a thread! I’m currently a TM and DBO in style. Our VM is leaving next week and HR stopped me today and said I should apply for the VM position. Does anyone have tips to make me a better candidate for this role...
