Anyone know the average wage for overnight stock workers?

I was looking into getting an overnight job as a stock boy at a department store, Iw as wondering if anyone knew how much they get per hour. Thanks.

I'd say not a lot. There are better overnight jobs, to be sure. If you take the job, be sure to keep looking for other opportunities.

Close to minimum wage...unless you have some kind of experience.

I made $7.50 when I did it.

I was 16, working full time. Put me in the best shape of my life, throwing freight will do that to you.



I left that job for the job I'm at now, & I now make close to double that.

But part of me wishes I was still doing it, I miss the 1-2 hour workout every night, & I miss the people.

if you own a car, you can deliver newspaper. Good pay and very easy job.

Depends on the store and experience....last year I did overnights at Office Max and got paid $9 an hour. Of course that included working 3000+ piece trucks (3 guys including me) and pulling one night a 17 hour shift

I worked a Class A Target, during Christmas we would get over 4000 pieces a night (two trucks). I fought for the position of being in the truck because I loved the workout.

But working it all afterwards sucked.

Vip - that musta sucked. But Target has a lot of people working though right? (I went to an interview there...they said they usually have 150 people working overnights - this was at a Super Target though) 3 people working 3000 pieces in one night really sucks. It helped keep me in shape though. (Not as much as when I worked at UPS though)

 

[Calundronius]

Wow...still not used to the quick responses. Thanks guys!

Where do you live?
You may be able to do better working for UPS, USPS, FedEx, or a major trucking company.

The packages might be heavier than computer parts though!

$10 to $13 here @ Home Depot in Illinois.

I did nto say that

I worked the night shift at a major auto parts distributor, in one of their larger warehouses and made $9.00 an hour to start, with a 50 cent per hour raise when I got licensed on the fork lift, then another 50 cent per hour raise after one year. That was two years ago and I'm not sure what a department store would pay.

One thing, I got back into shape and lost 10lbs. When you break-down and stock 24 pallets of brake rotors and drums, or 2 pallets of crankshafts, or 12 pallets of floor jacks, or...you get the idea.

One Hundred and Fifty people for an overnight crew atTarget!! Get real. The Target I used to work for was lucky if we had 12 people unload the trucks.:disgust:

If you can go to your Super Target and confirm otherwise with the manager I stand by what I say.
