If you ever want a management position at Spot, apply for an ETL position at the outset, you are more than qualified for it. Taking an entry level position can be the kiss of death for any aspiring ETL, if you do eventually get promoted it can take years. Its admirable to want to start at the bottom, really learn the business and work your way up, but Spot seems to prefer inexperience and complete malleability in their new ETLs. Actually knowing how things should be done, and the ability to understand what life is like for hourly employees trying to survive on a four hour a week paycheck can be considered impediments to a new ETLs ability to drink the kool-aid. Congrats on your soon-to-be degree and good luck!

Your gonna have an MBA then Tarshit is not the place for you. There better places and better retail places then Tarshit than that will fire you if you don't fall in line and drink the koolaid. This place is horrible to work as leader or as a regular worker. Your better than this place everybody is.

Contact a recruiter on LinkedIn. There are always ETL positions available if Target wants you.

I'm about to graduate in December so I can't apply for the internship, but I'm studying business administration and I have management experience, I guess I can always go by speak to a hiring manager do some small talk and drop off my resume, since no ETL positions are open online.This

Ive never not seen the ability to be able to apply for etl position online. Dont go by a specific store usually they have the etl positions on one store and they will have you go to whatever store that they need you if they hire you. I still think your best bet is to try and link up with a recruiter either through your college or linkedin.

Why?
This statement says "I place no value on my 6-8 years of education."
Education isn't always a replacement for experience but it does have value. There's no reason why you should be starting at the bottom with an MBA.
That's an idiotic mindset to have. A goal of "Starting at the bottom" with an MBA is a waste of your education and the money spent to earn it. You should know your value.
That being said Target is not a career with a good vertical trajectory. The chances of you getting into any position which would be a good return on investment for an MBA is staggeringly low. You can walk in the door at most places off the street with your MBA and make 30% more than what an ETL would make fairly easily. With better work-life balance and less stress.
Don't work at Target.
You can make more money and work less hours elsewhere with an MBA.
ETLs have to work at least 50 hours per week.
If you are going to apply, go for the internship.
My store has an ETL that was hired right out of an undergrad college after doing her internship with Target. The only reason she is still with Target is because she has drunk all of the Target kool-aid. She is horrible - she has no management skills, she is incredibly lazy, her people skills are atrocious, and she acts like she is entitled.
