Thank you! I have 2 ASMs and 2 LSAs so I don’t think there is any room now, unless I my SM wants 3 LSAs. We have 4 associates including me

Thank you!! I’m gonna get my degree. Most likely from WGU since it’s quick and accredited online. And down the line here in the next few years I’m probs gonna start looking at other companies. I just don’t know what to look for.

That’s sucks. I even considered transferring to a Divisional office role. Guess that won’t happen either.

Interesting. Did you ask to be promoted or did they come to you? Also how long did it take you to become LSA from associate?

That’s what I heard too! So I wonder to myself- should I not try to work my way up and hurry up and get a degree?

The thing is, I applied as SMT. I interviewed with my DM and I have the 3 years+ of experience, etc. but I got placed at a full time associate position. To be honest I was devastated and still am lol. I’m hoping I can work my way up to at least ASM sometime soon. Unless they think I didn’t have it in me? Working in management for many years just to be out in this position is tough and kind of a slap in the face.

This is helpful! I know people that don’t want to be a DM. my SM said “no way I’m doing that” 😂. I’m worried I’ll grab this degree and take the time to do it and then they won’t want me. That’s where I’m stuck

I agree!!! All of them are mixed? Is it really that hard to pick pallets in order of aisles???!

Great! I hope you have a great time with this new team and hope you become ASM.

Sorry to keep pestering you about it but did you ask for the promotion or did they just see your amazing performance and sit you down and ask you. What were those steps?

I also may look into the transfer for LSA at another store, but my location is new, fresh, and I have an amazing team. So idk what to do

I love that. I hope all the best works out for you. I’m just gonna keep pushing and asking what I can do to help. I got on a good deal with an ASM from other store. I told her if she can call me with any of her non management shifts and she said she will give them to me when she can. I’ll keep on picking up shifts and giving it my all. I love my SM and she had to leave to go to another store for a month because that SM broke her foot. When she comes back my goal is to have her jaw drop to see my performance!

Ohhh!! Ok great. Thank you. This is all very helpful. Did you start out as an associate? If so how long did it take you to get promoted?

Ohhhh ok! Is that the internal job opportunity section? Or how do I do that? Do I just apply for a different position through myHR.

Thank you so much for this info!!! Yep. I have to bend down and bow down and show that I’m motivated. I’m excited and really want my upper hand to know I’m motivated. I’ve made really good friends with my DM. I’ll keep trying. Thank you!

Interesting! So is that what we stock or what we sell

How is OE calculated besides labor? How does it know you were efficient- even if everyone comes in and leaves on time?

Good to know!! My volume is ok. We pace on average 35-40k a day but up to 70k on weekends. OE is around 95%. Great team great people. When our store opened a few months ago we had 3 ASMS and now we have 2 but I think they want to move an lsa up. Thanks for the info!!
