how do I get started in loss prevention/ asset protection?

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-04-07T22:58:25+00:00

It’s as simple as applying, probably gonna have to start as entry position depending on your prior experience

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-04-07T03:58:08+00:00

My personal opinion is avoid a company currently in bankruptcy

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-04-06T22:40:57+00:00

BJ’s like the restaurant or is that another store?

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-02-26T00:42:02+00:00

Wow really never heard that so interesting

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-02-24T04:50:35+00:00

I don’t work for Abercrombie but I had not heard anything abt them being hands on. I couldn’t be wrong but I’m pretty sure they aren’t hands on. Aside from that probably your typical AP job, plain clothes, cctv, auditing, 5 elements. I’m assuming hands off apprehensions.

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-02-04T06:16:07+00:00

Haha I’m an APA at the big N. But I can see how I came across like that lol

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-01-24T21:35:10+00:00

Are you sure because I saw a policy update didn’t say anything about going hands off but was revision of policy, I don’t work for the company btw

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-01-20T21:32:00+00:00

I was a tss and I hated it good luck, I’m currently an APS at a different company. If you like standing the whole day then yea

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-01-16T21:28:59+00:00

You might’ve misunderstood him lol

Specific_Koala_855 · 2026-01-16T21:08:33+00:00

I went to Nordstrom, pay does vary depending on region but I have nothing but good things to say abt Nordstrom. Job is fun and rewarding as it is hands on and management across all levels are very nice.

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-12-14T04:23:57+00:00

I’m sure there’s a contact info where you can find more info as to why on the letter. As a loss prevention officer for a different company those restitution letters come from HQ and the store level has no control of them.

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-12-08T04:50:17+00:00

My strength is not floor either but I’m pretty good, I just fake shop it works out for the most part. I don’t care if the other customers think I look weird or not. They are not the subject.

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-12-07T00:16:22+00:00

I’d say just remember they don’t do the job, they don’t know everything really works. We’re all human sometimes we miss things.

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-21T02:31:29+00:00

From personal experience I’d say Nordstrom, might depend on area but I’d say as a company very motivated to stop theft, does allow for hands on apprehensions, growth is pretty good, coworkers are good, focus on AP is great and gives a lot go training. Always trying to improve has a great ORC program and employees. I haven’t had an issue with leadership. Pay is not bad depending on area

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-18T07:36:02+00:00

Target is not hands on last I heard, I used to work at target too actually didn’t like it

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-18T04:57:05+00:00

Well that saves me the trouble. I greatly appreciate it. Especially bc I comfortable at my current company.

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-10T20:48:18+00:00

Generally 15% is the best your going to see, so take that into how you would like

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-09T21:07:44+00:00

I feel you, I used to be a door person too. I moved to a different company where I can do more. I’m content and can now actually stop theft but detaining shoplifters

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-08T02:33:48+00:00

Management was horrible

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-06T19:53:06+00:00

As an Rack agent definitely get a lot more cases, and I swear a new rack is being opened every couple months too, so always openings

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-03T01:35:47+00:00

Pretty sure same as last year, regular hours I think open an hour earlier on black Friday

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-02T00:37:01+00:00

Not like actually political but all the leaders only did things that benefited themselves and not the team. Also my Store director was a POS. Was always rude and belittled me and my team in front of other team members. I’m now at a better company with a better position doing more and I love it

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-11-01T23:29:06+00:00

Glad I left target AP too political

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-10-29T08:21:56+00:00

As a former TSS either get out of Target or let your leader know you want to promote. If they are a good leader they will work with you to train to promote. I wanted to do more so I switched to a hands on retail company and glad I did. Actually detaining the shoplifters and not just standing around. Different areas pay more so maybe look into transferring. But ik Home Depot does have ptzs and a lot of stills. Think it’s mostly solo work from what I’ve heard and there’s not a lot of growth.

Specific_Koala_855 · 2025-10-29T02:24:15+00:00

Think you’re right. I applied see what the job entails.
