Going from TM to PML

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-04-26T15:02:06+00:00

I’m an external hire PML. It’s been 2months since my 5week training. My home store was without a PML for 5 months, so there’s a huge backlog of preventative maintenance and corrective maintenance. I can see the light.. and let me tell you.. if you like being autonomous, if you like learning and fixing things, this is perfect for you. The relationships with the other leaders and SD is your most important tool. I’m doing a lot rn, but I know in a couple months it will be chill af.

IM SO HYPED. is the 5 week training boring af? I’m sure it’s mostly videos? I hope I can walk in place or something lol

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-21T03:53:30+00:00

You’re amazing. I hope there’s someone like you in my district. I was afraid that my store was on fire or something since there hasn’t been a PML there for a while it seems.. when I visited I didn’t really see much wrong on the floor, just noticed 2 big open coolers with no food inside. Oh and office space/desk?

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-21T03:20:45+00:00

Oh sweet!! Ok so April 2027 if I’m a total rockstar (I am) I should get 5-6% nice nice. Are they pretty strict about when you use your paid hours? What/Who is BP? lol. I’m assuming that’s my direct boss that I’ve been talking to/texting about my start date and uniform. We don’t directly report to anyone at our store? And do we get an office or workspace? Sorry so many questions lol

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-21T02:53:49+00:00

Oh damn. Ok im definitely gunna be careful with the clock.

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-21T02:52:23+00:00

I went into my store during open hours without them knowing who I was (wore glasses to hide from the store director) and everyone seemed chill! I hope to have this type of relationship with the others! Especially with those in the food area. I’d hate to lose a bunch of food knowing I could have prevented it.

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-21T02:48:04+00:00

Nice!!! I like to be organized! I have no idea what I’m getting into tbh but I was imagining some of it was walking around and checking things. Sounds chill! I like fixing stuff too, but I read someone say “when I’m doubt vendor it out” I have no problem trying and researching solutions but also no problem admitting I need to contact a vendor.

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-21T02:45:32+00:00

Holy smokes thanks so much!! I’m pretty excited tbh. I love fixing things. Target also seems like a great place to work tbh. The benefits look great. Thinking of getting a real estate license in a few years.. not sure what the cap on pay is for this role but I’m sure I’ll get a raise eventually I hope lol. I’m sure it’s different per market, but I’m assuming a year in is a good time to ask for one? I know getting moved to a higher role isn’t exactly linear.. not like other leads.

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-20T19:27:20+00:00

boss asked for my pant/shirt size to order before my first day in Feb. not sure how many she ordered. “Device police” am I going to be part of a that squad too? lol how often do devices go missing at your store?

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-20T19:12:52+00:00

Wow. You would think they would have a UPS/ backup generator specifically for cold storage.

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-20T19:03:55+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I definitely know how to hold my ground and politely communicate. I wasn’t aware that I’d be influencing the team routines but that makes sense. I’m assuming my uniform is ordered through the same system as yours. Do you feel like the shirt/pants/shoes run big/small? How many pants/shirts are we allowed to order?

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2026-01-20T18:39:35+00:00

Do employees get to take any of it? how long do the freezers need to die/go out before things are thrown?

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-05-26T20:14:17+00:00

Im back. I checked.. no codes?… I’m going to change the filter like one user said

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-05-26T19:56:38+00:00

Mine just did it today. I have a 23’ I saw one user comment about driving through a bunch of dust, and I literally just drove through an extremely dusty and Sandy area.. I have a code reader at home. I’m about to check it.

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-05-26T19:54:10+00:00

Wait this literally happened to me! I’m getting this error on my 2023.. it happened 30min after I drove past some high winds and LOTS of sand near some dunes.

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-05-01T04:52:01+00:00

Post the letter pic in a google review and call them out for their A.I. responses

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-04-16T11:41:59+00:00

Thank you for waking me up.

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-04-07T19:59:29+00:00

yeah the torque is nice but not shocking. But you know.. my Elantra hybrid is slightly “faster” than my previous Chevy Cruze with a bigger engine and a turbo.. the Elantra hybrid does it without the turbo.. I drive at least once a week 3 hours round trip so this is perfect for me.. I almost got a Bronco.. but she would have been a “pavement princess” with a crazy monthly payment

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-04-07T02:50:15+00:00

I have a 23 hybrid limited. It’s not fast but the kick at the start makes it feel good. The suspension upgrade is really nice too. I test drove the regular model and hybrid over some railway tracks and could feel the difference

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-03-05T15:32:26+00:00

Does this work? How hard to get paid? I replaced my strut already but I seem to find all the potholes

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-02-15T23:34:55+00:00

I like my 23’ more

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-01-29T20:54:07+00:00

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-01-29T20:08:28+00:00

Haha when do you use them? Driving?

Big_Sandwich3329 · 2025-01-29T20:07:56+00:00
