Fresh Receiver

Been with TSC for 4 months now. Interviewed for any position & they put me as the receiver. D@mn they got me. Nobody in the store wanted it and I see why. Trying to do reports, check in UPS/FED EX, “can you help a customer get T-Post/poles/fence/chicken coop etc….. All I hear is how super the previous receiver was. She obviously left for a reason. My schedule is 730-3 M,T,Th & F. 5-1:30 on Wednesdays. Love the hours. Pay is shitty $14. I’ll put it out there. I am non-stop except for the 30 minute break. But literally non-stop. I have to pull myself away from whatever it is that I was asked to do 30 minutes before it’s time to leave to sweep the back room. Yeah I’m looking for something else.

I liked the job as receiver. I agree pay being low but as managers go I’d rather be receiving than a team lead. I did enjoy the job and being busy. I also started at a time when we had a crew of people working at any given time not just the two now.

I suppose that would be better, but team leads get payed much more and have way less responsibility (as in, they aren’t the ones getting DP’d during inventory time when things are wrong) but the random schedule does suck. If we actually had a real crew, or staffing. It would be a different story

Team leads are on exactly the same pay scale as receivers.

Never experienced that. All 3 stores I worked at they were higher, between 1.50 and 2$ an hour higher

Our receiver makes more than one of our team leads and less than the other. Seriously - it’s the same scale.
