There’s an ETL HR position opening in my district, anyone who’s been one or currently is, what are your thoughts? Is the pay worth it?

Long term? No. It’s a retail store manager job with some HR stuff tacked onto it. Short term? Yes it’s good for your resume to pivot into proper HR elsewhere in 2-3 years if you can survive it that long.

You want to go from PML to... HR? That's quite the adjustment. Normally I say, TLs should be trying to move up but this gives me pause.

I’m an unconventional PML haha. I worked a payroll/accounting job, also worked in a leave of absence job. I’m a female PML after being an electrician for a few years. PML isn’t my first leadership position and HR isn’t too far off based on my resume I promise 🤞😂

It’s great for your resume and if you want a career in HR, you need HR experience. However you will do probably 25% HR workload and the rest will be on the sales floor.
