>> My name is Allie LaVista [assumed spelling], and I'm an executive team leader
of guest experience at Target, and what my job entails is making sure
that we are providing exactly that.
So taking care of our guests and making sure that our team takes of our guests.
I have to inspire our team to have exceptional performance on a daily basis,
and at the end of the day, I'm a business owner, so taking care of all aspects of the business,
including training, hiring, making sure we have the right people in the right place,
and making sure that we're managing our talent, and then overall, just taking care of our team.
So I'm fortunate enough to be in a really good store, so I am placed in one store.
That is my main role is to be the executive team leader
of guest experience in Trumball [phonetic].
But we do reach out to other stores in our district
that are maybe struggling on some things.
So I am able to go and help out other stores on issues like that.
I'm also able to be a part of the recruiting team, so I get to go to UConn.
I get to go to different career fairs and help out that way.
So I'd say if it were a choice, I would have to say I would take care of the team first.
They are the people who take care of our guests, so at the end of the day if our team isn't happy
and aren't motivated, we're not going to be able to take care of the guests.
So breakdown wise, I'd probably say dealing with guests probably 30-40 percent.
Otherwise, probably 60 to 70 dealing with the team and making sure
that they're doing what they're supposed to be doing, that they're happy at work,
that they're comfortable, so overall, that.
Basically, I have one or two LOD shifts, it's called, leader on duty, a week.
So with that I manage the entire store.
I have to make sure everything is getting stocked, everything looks beautiful,
take care of any guests who need to speak to a manager.
That would be me.
And then just making sure we are making sales, making payroll, staffing,
taking care of the team and just overall being that person
that anyone can go to if they have a problem.
I' working, right now, probably 50 to 60 hours a week.
You are -- for Target, you do work 50 hours.
That's basically what you're paid for.
But I -- you know, like to get everything done during the day, so I stay as needed.
And if I finish early, I'm able to leave early some days.
So it's kind of just what you want to put into it, and if you're going
to be successful, you got to put in the hours.
