How long did you spend in an entry-level position? I want a change in the way I work and obviously in the way I earn, but I also want to be clearer about what changes in your daily life when you move up the ladder in retail. For example, if I'm aiming for shift lead - what are the things I should be prepared for in terms of change?

I stayed in entry level for about 2–3 years before moving up, and honestly, the feel of the job changed more than the job title did. You usually trade some physical grind (constant customers, recovery, ringing) for more mental load with scheduling, dealing with call‑outs, handling customer escalations, floor moves, and getting nagged about metrics.

I stayed entry-level for about six months. We were severely understaffed and I was ready for a challenge and more money. You should prepare to discuss how you will approach the transition from associate to manager, what makes you skilled to lead, and then maybe even start taking on some responsibilities before you ask for the job.

Be prepared to manage other people. That’s the biggest part of your job.

Do I file the stip in state court still? Does MDL have jurisdiction over the hospital? Can a hospital even be part of a MDL lawsuit? Very confused! Thank you!!!
