Daily routine in tech can vary widely depending on the state of the department, but in general I'll arrive for the day, check out a pair of tech keys and grab the equipment I need to do my job, clean up and restock the department, take care of any returned or abandoned merchandise guest service has for me, try to get at least some of the price changes and new planogram sets taken care of, work the truck, and try to keep the place looking decent and well-stocked throughout the day. You have to do a lot of self-direction in tech, in my experience, though- I may make the decision to focus truck at the expense of everything else if it's a big one and I know we have another one lined up for tomorrow, for example, and there will be days where time-sensitive tasks take priority- in my store, we're expected to take care of new release movies and books, for example, which means every monday night/tuesday morning, we have to focus on that. I spend a LOT of time with guests. Guests, in my experience, expect you to explain a lot to them about the products you sell, to solve somewhat technical problems for them, generally speaking my guest interactions are longer and require more product knowledge than most other roles in the store do, barring maybe guest service. This is one of the big contributors to how variable my routine is- if it's a busy day, I can spend literal hours uninterrupted with guests, and at least at my store, you're usually alone in electronics, so it's all on you. We also have a lot of merchandise locked up, requiring a key that generally speaking only tech consultants will have to unlock. You have your own registers in tech, and you'll be on them a lot. There's a lot of product that my asset protection team doesn't want walking around the store unaccompanied, so it has to be purchased in tech. We also handle large amounts of cash and we're somewhat remote from guest service and the other registers, so we have to know policy and be mindful of scam tactics and such. Tech is actually kind of rough compared to the other areas, in my opinion. We're alone all shift unless payroll is plentiful enough for short overlaps or maybe a mid-shift, our guests expect a lot of product knowledge (and, in my opinion, target does next to nothing to teach you that knowledge- target's tech consultant training material is actually really really bad IMO), and at night- at my store at least- I'll sometimes find myself as the only person working the sales floor outside of style. Tech actually used to get paid more than the rest of the store- we had a $0.50/hr higher starting pay than every other department, in recognition of how much more demanding it was compared to most other positions as I was told. We no longer have that higher base pay, but I feel the more demanding conditions are still there. Answer from Skelebonerz on reddit.com
