Soo! The bckrm tl before me was a young kid that left to focus on school. I had only been with target as a backroom tm for 7ish months when they promoted me to TL. I have received little to no training; I am kind of just flying by the seat of my pants. I know the backroom pretty well, but I am...
Not sure if this is just my location, but we're expierencing major cuts in payroll. Dayside sales floor is pretty much non existent right now. One to two max, but lately it's just been one HLTM. Backroom is somehow hanging by a thread. Until next week that is, when only two dayside/mid will be...
Let me just start by saying that after hearing of the new CAF system that they will be starting at Target, I knew immediately that one of two things would happen: Hours would be cut, and people would be transferred to new positions or even new departments. After the news was passed down, of...
Has anyone started the new CAF pull schedule? Just curious how large they end up being as compared to the old schedules. I'm not quite sure how to staff the changes. Our normal CAFs averaged about an hour.
Well, to give you all a bit of a background behind my store, it's gone pretty downhill. In the last year we were one of the highest stores in our district, got out of our trucks in our appropriate expected time, finished our hourly CAF into the half hour of each hour, etc.
But, now ever since...
Well, let me start this off!
Our backroom has gone to Hell. We're lucky to even have 3 team members upstairs pulling MyFA, Location Checks, CAF, Plano, Price Change and Curbside! We've been having pallets of overstock sit around for a few days because we just don't have the team to finish it. I...
So when you're doing a pull, which aisles should be grouped together in those red bins? (Not sure what they're called) Say you're pulling Plug, Home, Dom, Chem etc. Which can go together and which cannot? This seems to be the only thing I'm not picking up properly. I understand Grocery 1 & 2...
Hello,
I'm thinking about applying for Merchandise Flow and/or Backroom Team Member. Is it strictly overnight or would I be able to work from 10am to 6pm? I worked at Sears and best buy before in the back. What should I expect working at Target BR? Is it as bad as people say like getting...
So our bulkside guy ended up quitting last week. I have been a backroom team member for over two years, but have never really messed with bulkside outside of pulls. I am now filling in until we can train another bulk tm (im in school so I dont work full-time). The only thing I am struggling with...
I work at a pretty well run store but i have a bunch of new team members in my backroom, i try my best to train them to the best of my knowledge and my TL does the same as well. our process is not backed up , but i want to find more ways and tips to improve my BRLA and BR score. we have a lot of...
Goodbye sales accumulator hello Sales Floor Quanity. Our store is changing to this. Has anyone piloted this ??? From reading the packet you can update shelf capacities on the spot vs sending it to my support.
Hello to all. I'm attempting my first post, so don't judge too hard. So I applied to Target as a rebound job after my last position didn't work out due to major anxiety, which prevented me from doing the job. So desperate to get work, I mustered up the strength to apply to Target and used my...
Are there reports I can look at that have stats for number of items pulled, number of items backstocked, and number of errors created by individual team members? I recall seeing the report regarding backroom location accuracy that has a list of team members. I'm using these numbers to track TM's...
(WARNING: LONG POST) Alright, firstly, I do know how to do the basic requirements of my job, which is stocking dairy and frozen products, but then there's things like doing backstock with the mydevice, what the numbers mean on the labels, what carts I can and can't use, and generally when and...
It has changed horribly over the last 2 to 3 years. The whole process has been changed so much that I pull a lot of shit that doesn't go out either because the shelves are full or people don't want to work it. Let's not forget the wonder that is pulling regurgitated back stock. I would say...
I'm the backroom trainer and on Tuesday I'll be training someone. I can train someone to close pretty easily (and done it before) but I'm not sure how I can train someone to pull CAFs other than letting him watch me do them.
I'm still trying to brainstorm how I can introduce him to the...
A little background:
Currently a Senior Logistics and Instocks Team Leader. I took over two departments consistently ranked in the bottom 5 of the group in any ranking report possible. My Logistics team is now ranked in the top 3, with a Backroom location accuracy just shy of a perfect 100% and...
In my store they opened up flex in a whole new area in the backroom and even hired a new team to go along with it. Pretty soon they're going to have it running 24/7. We even did a few orders on Thanksgiving. My ETL said it's only a couple of stores that are expanding it where we pick from the...
