Hi There,
I'm new to the board and I've used the search feature but can't seem to find the information I need. I was in a brand-new Target about a month ago and was asked if I'd like a part-time job with the title of TPS. Once I found out more about the details I informed them I had no experience with that line of work. They told me not to worry that they have an excellent training program. My questions are:
*Is the training program onsite and is it any good? Or is it just those online videos most retailers train with?
*Are there any certifications I need to have already prior to being hired, or do I attain those wih Target? Specifically, around apprehensions. Certainly they would train on that since I am being told its my role. I would think it's a legal pandoras box if they don't properly train and just say "arrest people"
*No one discussed the cost of the uniform, I'd assume its paid for by Target but it wasn't discussed. If it's something I have to buy elsewhere do I get reimbursed?
*Another oddity is that apparently there is a APS role that is one level above a TPS if I am understanding things correctly. There isn't an APS hired on yet. So that makes me wonder exactly who my boss is, along with more training concerns and my role.
*I have a perfectly clean background, but I don't think they even checked. Doesn't it take days to determine this? I had two interviews back to back, Urine test that day, offer the next day. Awefully fast...
If anyone has any input that would be great. At first I thought i'd pretty much be watching the doors, checking receipts, but apparently from what the HR person is telling me apprehensions are my role as well. Hopefully they have good training on just how to perform that task.
