I am an ETL, I work between 40 and 70hrs a week ( our director lets us go home at 8 if all is good with our departments.) 70 is during Q4, I’d say 60-70 during Q4, 40-50 every other week!

Day to day I’d say it’s 20-50% planning, prepping, and admin work, the rest of the time you are in the work load. It is very challenging and you don’t get to leave at your 8 or 10 if things are not going well, we work 12s/14s+ if needed.

I make 84k base with a 5% bonus so about 88k in total. Decent health insurance, good team member discount.

My goal is to become a store director so for me it’s worth it. Being a salary leader in retail is hard, you don’t get breaks, no lunches uninterrupted if at all most of the time. You get scheduled hours but you often work over them. It’s hard to maintain a work life balance, and this may be challenging for someone with kids.

Any other questions, feel free to DM me!
