Archived Becoming a “Captain” - Pay Bump or Not?

[ChipFromStore]

I’ve seen conflicting posts on here as to whether a pay bump comes with the Captain title. Anyone know the deal?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Not really. Just hours.

 

[can't touch this]

Nope. They asked me once if I was interested, and I asked how much more bread would I get and they said haha, not even a crumb! Welp, that's gonna be a negative, ghostrider.

It's a way to help get promoted but that's it. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

As a captain you get to act like 1/4 of a TL with 0 accountability.

What the heck is the Captain title...anything like the Trainer; which meant nothing.

 

[Kartman]

Hey, I'm a trainer!

LOL

Laughing hard here. More money?! Lolol

Nope its not an official target title its basically a scapegoat tls and etls can blame when the area looks like shit after a good ransacking over 4th quarter. Been there done that licked my wounds and never again.

Well, shit. I didn't get a fancy title but the leaders have basically decided that SFS is my area, I train newbies, and then the newbies come to me to ask me what they should do...does that mean I should just start calling myself "Captain?"

I am officially a "consultant" "specialist" "expert" i guess i can be un-officially "captain" but I expect a hand salute when you approach me 😅😅😅

All captains for my store got $1 raise from their current pay at the time of "promotion." And full time hours where other will be cut when budget is low. I know myself and another team lead have asked for and received higher pay for our captains due to their work and overall contributions to the store.

I do feel it could be a bit higher. I also think there should be a starting base pay for all captains except maybe receiving/backroom because their duties are much more. At least at my store.

I remember when i was promoted to flow captain back when flow still stocked the whole store +p-fresh and i asked the old one that was transfering if i got a raise and he said nope and alot of the team though i got a raise also. So i had to help watch 20 flow tm and was responsible 10tm P-fresh team and was making the same or less then the people i was leading

 

[Kartman]

And Target appreciates it! Recognization to YOU!!!

 

[Times Up]

Captain, the GSA of the rest of the store!

No pay bump.

It’s not a promotion. It’s jist a task assigned to you only.

Captain Edward J. Smith of RMS Target, who went down with his ship after it collided with the End-to-End iceberg

I don't know if OP is referring to SFS captain, but that position is like being the GSA for ship. There is daily checklist task sheet for captains floating around (on workbench probably). You have to assign people to work pick, prep, or pack and move them around as needed; schedule out breaks; coordinate with STL with any needs.

I know im going to be asked but I'll say no without a pay bump. Just like when they asked me to be gsa and refused a raise. Nope the fuck out of that.

There's not even hours from what I've seen. We had a flow captain for a few minutes back when I was new, and they gave him the same shitty hours as the rest of us, like 20ish a week. He quit because they wouldn't give him any more. Really though, giving someone a fake title and no extra schmoney is Target as fuck.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Where is my commission?

 

[Kartman]

No commission - recognization!!!

 

[Aredhel]

Asants. I made more money without any formal designation. Low on the radar.

My ETL called me "zone captain" the other day. I hope he was joking. I hate zoning, especially in market where everyone seems to dump all their reshop behind the K-Cups and by the gummi bears.
