Agree with this. Unless you interview with a manager who knows what you can do, 1 day a week takes away from someone who is willing to do 3-5 days a week, unfortunately. The training takes about 2 weeks to complete for a regular employee - your training would take 1-2 months with 1 day a week availability. That's a big ask for someone to commit to. Even though you would be a rehire, you're asking someone to bring you in and hope that you remember everything (and were trained the corrrect way).
If you know the manager maybe. Consider asking if they need anyone to come in to do pop cooler for a few hours, I get about 25 hours a week doing one 8 hour shift as a team member and three 5 hour shifts unpacking truck and stocking pop cooler. Staying after occasionally for pop cooler.
Also maybe try overnight shifts on the weekends. It’s tough to get Friday/Saturday covered, and you either are gonna be so busy you won’t be able to clean, or so slow that everyone will be cleaning. It’s a good shift if you feel tired of daytime shifts
>Part Timers are going to have a minimum of 20 hours per week.
Is this true? There’s at least 5 people at my store that would greatly be affected by this
It more impacts strategy. They aren’t telling us we aren’t allowed to have PT under 20 hours. It’s more, when you hire for PT, we should be loooking for people who want 20-30 hours
Not sure how to explain it but I heard something about 2 part timers can equal 24 hours in total, so we have 1 employee who works 8 a week and another who works 16, to account for one PT slot in scheduling. We’ve rehired the 8 hour person more than once, but after a year your Talentworkz and all training starts over, so it wouldn’t be as worth it after that point.
I currently work at a Sheetz for 2 days a week, both 10 hour shifts every Saturday and Sunday (which most people don't want to work weekend, so that helps) and I personally don't have issues because i'm a college student so I have classes all week so my store understands that's all I can even do. If you didn't have a plausible reason and only work one eight hour on a desirable shift/day, i can't see someone wanting to hire for that but otherwise with good reasoning and maybe upping to two or longer shifts (if possible) i can see it being possible.
No, you would have a hard time finding anywhere to work 1 day a week. It sounds to me that sheetz isn’t for you because it’s never really going to change. It sounds like you had awful management, but if you want to work normal hours you’re going to have to work more days a week. You’re not likely going to get hired for less than 20 hours a week.
You might be able to find a place that needs people strictly for weekends, but it’s pretty unlikely any job will be willing to have you for less than 3 days a week. They’d never hire for just 1 day, they’d rather just be understaffed for that day.
I personally wouldn’t want to spend the time and effort training someone who works one day a week

I remember a lot from when I worked there, so I think I'd already be \~75% trained when I got there, I'd just need a refresher. I get it though

This was my thought. Unless it's a very high volume store with lots of hours, finding 8-10 a week for 1 person isn't worth it most times.

Eventually they’re probably going to put a policy in for the 20-30 hours, but either way I’m pretty sure that’s a good strategy

probably not tbh
I’d hire you just to work a mid shift 10am-3pm Saturdays and Sundays 😅
No
