How does a receiver work into all this? Is it base plus .50, making it $11.50, or is it more? I'd be annoyed as a receiver to make less than Flow/BR

Receiver is logistics.

 

[Frontlanegirl]

The list is:
1. Logistics, 2. GSAs, and 3. seasonal logistics and seasonal GSAs

They just didn't use the word seasonal twice.

Thank you. I was wondering why it was used twice. What is a seasonal GSA?

A GSA that is hired seasonally, just like any other seasonal position.

Was informed that I'm now at $11.50 an hour, which is the $11.00 starting wage + 50 cents logistics differential. So that means I'm making exactly the same as a brand new hire in logistics (or anything else with a 50 cent differential). Woo hoo, don't I feel special.

And at the end of 2020, you'll still be making minimum. Tenure means zilch to this company.

Guess I’d never considered that. Merit raises for the next few years are likely meaningless for 90% of TMs.

I have seen all my kits come in saying exactly these three things: ATTENTION: SIGNING SPECIALIST............ ATTENTION: SIGNING SUPERVISOR......... even... ATTENTION: ETL-SIGNING SPECIALIST (this made me laugh). Even stuff that comes in saying ATTENTION-STL or ATTENTION-STORE TEAM LEAD, is my responsibility 90% of the time.

I don't think their are many who can argue against, saying "Signing TMs" are being screwed, but with this recent Amplified Gifting, Heart and Hand, AND The biggest set of the year, Christmas, within a week of each other.(And surprise, all of our signing came in late, yay ) We should be getting VML pay.

Applied to be vml twice, not good enough since I'm a dirty internal applicant...roflmao.

I've threatened to rage quit every day last week. Its getting out of control.

We finally got our paycharts.

So the good news is the maximum rates are much higher than before.

Assuming you are an 11 dollar store.

Paygrade 30 = 11 base, 17 max (after raises)

Paygrade 35 = 11.50 base 17.75 max (after raises)

Paygrade 40 = 15 base, 26.20 max

Paygrade 45 = 16.75 base, 29.20 max

To compare the old way

n03 was a 11 dollar base with a 14.60 max

N07 was a 11.50 base with a 16.50 max.

N13 was a 15 base with a 25.20 max

N17 was a 16.75 base with a 27.40 max

So the maximum for every one is higher.

However the only people with a higher base than before is AA, beauty and cosmetics

You left out one I'm a n15. Whats the max?

 

[Xanatos]

Does it matter? N15 doesn't exist anymore. Let's split the difference and call it 26.30.

Yeah we were told merchandise experience outside of Target is a requirement from our DTL.

I'm professionally trained by a merchandising strategist team from a former job. Three years, three stores with five covered for Christmas holiday unload of trees.

Im literally the best of both worlds. In everyone's eyes but the people allowing applicants...

 

[subotai54]

There's no pay negotiation for experience, is there?

I had a GSA tell me that he makes $15/h. I know that he's been a manager at other places, but I think he's just talking out of his ass to make himself feel more important.

I'm sure it's still up for negotiation if you are an external hire. Our newest GSA got hired at $15 while the others were at $12. But getting hired that high for GSA probably means they are trying to get you to replace someone in the future, perhaps a GSTL.

I don't think that there is experience pay for GSA. There is the job differential though which may have brought him to $15.

Scenario/Example:
- Your store's base pay for PG 30 could be $14.00.
- Your store's job differential amount happens to be $1.
- GSA is PG 30 + JD.
- He gets paid $15.

It's hard to know whether or not he is full of it without knowledge of your store's starting pay and job differential.

Only for paygrades 40 and 45 and they lowered the max experience pay.

GSAs hired over base are usually backfill for other positions.

base was 10 when he said it.

I would be surprised if he was hired to fill in, because there's multiple GSAs and we just hired a GSTL, even with him there.

 

[HRLady]

base was 10 when he said it.

If your store's starting pay was just $10 (before the new pay grades), then he would have been offered $10.75 at that time. With the updated pay grades, your store's PG 30 is probably $11. GSA is PG 30 + JD. Even if your store happened to have a high job differential of $1, he won't be anywhere near $15.

What is the starting pay for specialty? Curious here

50 cents more than minimum?

 

[RedGsa]

As a GSA I'm pretty mad about where I fall in the paygrade. I'm required to do pretty much everything that my GSTL's do, without the pay. I'm the last to leave the store when I close, I'm responsible for so many things, yet I'm getting paid the same (or less than) some seasonal team members. GRRRRRRRR.

 

[pinktea]

I've always thought GSA's were insanely underpaid considering the pressures and expectations...if someone asked me to be a GSA I'd be like, HECK NO. Not worth it.

Yeah unless you intend to parlay it into a team lead position it's by far one of the worst positions in the store.

 

[pinktea]

I used to be a PA and it boggled my mind that I got paid more than GSA's...sure, grocery is where the money is, but I only had to manage tangible things like orders and Steritech. GSA's are responsible for RC's and a whole team of people and that, to me, is way more fickle and requires a great deal more stamina. I'm not downplaying PA; it's not a job for the weak, but GSA's work just as hard in a different way.
