A couple days ago I was approached by our new AP Leader about joining the AP team as a Security Expert. He said the Store Director threw my name in as someone who would be a great fit. It also sounds like something I would really enjoy and would come with a minimal pay raise. I told my S&E...

Just a bit of background info: I just started at Target 2 weeks ago, and was hired on directly to GSA, though I was interviewing for cashier and GSTM. I'm 23, and have never held a management position, I have a bachelor's degree and was working in special education previously. I feel comfortable...

Criminally underpaid they were before but now not even a raise? You’re a manager but not a manager when convenient and make the same (often less) than the team members you supervise.. As a former GSA and now GSTL.. it doesn’t make any sense. Even as a GSTL now my workload is more or less the...

I'm not interested in moving up right away, and from what I've read around here, GSA doesn't make anything more money-wise than a regular cashier. However, I was wondering what the general timeline is to move into this position if I were to show interest, and if such a position is even open...

I believe GSAs should make 15.50 and GSTLs 18 starting. If you’re currently either what do you make and how long have you been with target?

My last two shifts I’ve spent more time off stage planning for the week, calling CSC/troubleshooting, and pulling from backroom that it feels like there is literally no one watching the lanes for half the day. I’m always a walkie away, but it really feels like I can’t effectively do my job

Do you see your GSAs as a peers or subordinates?

I have heard a ton of stuff recently from my TMs about how angry they are that Food Ave makes more $$$$ than a GSA/SEA in this new pilot model. These TMs are angry enough that they’re switching work centers (to electronics or something) to get a 0.50¢ raise. At my store at least, the GSA/SEA...

So today I was cashiering, I came into work and my GSTL told me to go cover a fellow cashier's 15 min break. So I took over and she left for her break. I totally understand how draining it can be to cashier all day so I never monitor a TM's 15, especially since the GSA/GSTL will sometimes have...

Now that the GSA differential was taken away.. I am curious to know how much the GSAs make now? Also if you’re a GSA who promoted to TL.. how big was your raise? If you self demoted or got demoted.. what was your paycut? And of course how long have you been with the company/been a GSA for?

I just found out other GSA is leaving my store that's 3 GSAs in the span of 1 month leaving. My question is, is that common and I should start to put my 2 weeks? Also a female co-worker I really like is also leaving and I want to ask her out, Im running out of time so should I just go for it and...

Hello all! I’m new to the forums and am a GSTL in my store. I’ve recently seemed advice from my ETL GE and another ETL whim I trust at my store about how to develop my gsas and get my fellow GSTL to hop on board and assist with the metrics. I am currently heralded as the top GSTL at my store in...

Hey everyone... I worked for Target about three and a half years ago for about two and a half years and I am now coming back. I was a Guest Service Team Member, I left for a different company and I am now back as a GSTL (not at the same store). Since it's been a while, can someone tell me the...

Hey all. I just got hired as a GSA at my local target. I have to go into orientation next week, but from what I understand this is a management role? I really don't want people to despise me because I got hired to be their boss when I have never worked at target before (I have worked at another...

I was covering a GSA lunch today when a guest using self-checkout waved me over and told me the price on a space heater was wrong—ringing up at 39.99 (right price) when it “should have been 6.99 because that’s what the sign said” I told him that 39.99 is the correct price and it must have just...

This one is for the GSA's here...how long did it take you to move up to the GSA position? I have been here for a year and a half with no promotion. I have learned everything I could about the front end, and I am working with my team lead to have a position on the team lead bench... any advice?

Hey all, I was hired on seasonally as a cashier (with lots of service desk shifts too) in October and my 90 days is coming to an end. My ETL-HR reached out to me yesterday about staying on as a regular and I agreed—what surprised me though is that they are asking if I want to move up to GSA...

So this cashier has only been with us a month, month and a half tops. Now this person has been promoted to GSA and everyone is dumbfounded because a month ago she didn't even know how to work the register. My store is notorious for playing favorites by the way. So my question is, can someone...

Hi, everyone! I applied to Target recently for my first job and got hired as a seasonal GSA (I originally applied for a cashier position). I heard it's not the best job but I needed a one badly. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, tips and tricks, that they can share with me? Advice...

Can you guys help me get creative with keeping my 1 minute huddles productive but still not sounding scripty? These are the things I feel like I have to touch on: genuine interactions, cashier empowerment (let's not call the GSA over for $1), stepping out, greeting guests, educating them about...
