MEGATHREAD 2018-2019 Store Modernization Megathread

[REDcardJJ]

I like that S&E will just be Fos Attendant and Guest Advocate, etc. Good changes from what we tested!

i'm curious as to how your front end looks without a GSA? i just can't wrap my head around that

 

[gsa4lyfe]

Also what's up with that Special Sales TL position? Does that mean Beauty/Tech is coming back hmmm

Depends on your store but every store other than super high volume the electronics and beauty experts report to the ETL and essentially have no direct TL

 

[ThatAPguy]

Yep printed mine out yesterday... IMO general merchandise tl’s get screwed. Way more responsibility now.

Yes that's all current stores. I used to be Tech/Beauty during the Pilot but the position was removed end of summer. So I'm surprised to see that it's coming back I guess.

Beauty/tech lead isn’t coming back. It’s specialty sales TL in ultra high volume stores but the majority of the store won’t have it. Most electronics and beauty TMs won’t have a TL

Everyone’s gets bumped to $13 during reviews like the bump to $12 last year.

My hr etl told us it wouldn't happen at reviews .. was that confirmed?

 

[Logo]

Reviews then in june $13.

 

[gsa4lyfe]

No that was just my assumption as to the timeline

 

[gsa4lyfe]

What happen with gstl? Anything change in that area

Just the basics with all TLs. More mids. More global. Less standing up front handling blinkers.

 

[Stylized]

Any confirmation on who is closing weekends? I've heard ETLs rotating but all mine hate closing lol so I'm having doubts with that

 

[Ashfromoldsite]

10-6:30 and you have to or you will be eliminated.

 

[gsa4lyfe]

What time are mids what if you can’t do mids?

10-6:30 and you have to or you will be eliminated.

Not necessarily 10-6:30. The rollout guide give examples of schedules and mid are just a shift that’s not open or close. It al depends on your department. If beauty is busy 10-6 but style is busy 9-5 you schedule them differently. Everything is based on the needs of the business. STLs and etls do early mid, late mid, normal mids. It all depends on your store.

Sr TL is no more. All TLs will be given keys with no increase in pay. Closing lead is the new position. Many stores currently over headcount for ETLs now. Logistics/ Backroom/ POG/ PC teams are all gone. Now every area owns all processes within their area 100%. All leaders besides opener and closer are mid.

Now they're "experts".

Me when Presentation isn't getting eliminated:

Ah ok. Well our stl decided on 10-6:30. He says work that or not at all.

Says all leadership besides ap and closing tl should maintain weekend rotations

So same for gstl? But 2 gstl can’t be mids makes no cents

I've seen a store in the pilot do 7-3:30 and the closing do 11-7:30. Obviously no GSA so CTL closed the lanes

 

[gsa4lyfe]

Gstls will do a lot of Mids or they won’t be GSTL

 

[NKG]

You can’t have 2 gstl on mids same day every day

See my above comment.....

 

[gsa4lyfe]

Early Mid and late mid. The guide suggests 9-5:30 and 12-8:30

 

[Ashfromoldsite]

I wonder if the stores open 7a-11p can have more variety in shifts? Like why have mids at 10 if we open at 7? I like early mid, late mid then.

 

[NKG]

Early Mid and late mid. The guide suggests 9-5:30 and 12-8:30

They each take ownership of something different so it's not 2 people doing the same job. Example would be GSTL A does guest loyalty. They would be in charge of redcard, circle, surveys and training. Gstl b would do sales planners, pricing, co and bullseye.

Guest VS Process. That’s how any store I’ve worked in has done it and that’s how I did it when I was gstl. I think it works out best.

Sorry I meant salesfloor. Not gstl.

Yikes 8:30!

You work for a business. The business has needs and those needs don’t involve a crazy amount of leader in the building 7-4 and then no one 4-close
