TRUE SPORTS CARDS
TEAM MEMBER EXPECTATIONS
THIS IS NOT A JOB FOR SOMEONE LOOKING TO JUST COLLECT A
PAYCHECK.
This is a fast-paced, production-oriented warehouse
position. You will be expected to work, stay focused, and consistently produce
results throughout your shift.
True Sports Cards is more than a Card Shop. We set a high standard for ourselves and how we serve our customers. Nothing is more important to me than finding the right people to add to our team.
Many have tried to apply or work for us, and many have been phased out or left because the expectation for work that our team can be proud of was just too difficult for them.
And that’s okay to not want to hold themselves to a high standard and determined work ethic.
Just not here.
I rarely hire because working for True requires the four “C’s” - which many find too difficult and look for something easier to do:
C1:
Character: Will I trust this person around inventory worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?
C2:
Competence: Can they work quickly, accurately, and repeatedly without constant supervision?
C3:
Chemistry: Will they make the rest of my team better—or become a problem everyone has to deal
with?
C4:
Consistency: Will they show up everyday and bring it, or will we have to wonder which version of
you will be showing up today?
IF YOU:
• Don't like repetitive work
• Need to be constantly reminded what to do
• Frequently show up late
• Call out regularly
• Spend your shift on your phone
• Work slowly because you don't feel like working faster
• Have difficulty following simple instructions
• Don't pay attention to details
• Need someone standing over you to stay productive
• Are looking for an easy job
• Expect to be able to sit around when things get busy
PLEASE DO NOT APPLY.
We are looking for people who are dependable, motivated, focused, and take pride in doing their job correctly.
You will be expected to work consistently, move with purpose, maintain accuracy, and take responsibility for your performance.
THIS JOB REQUIRES:
SHOWING UP.
WORKING HARD.
STAYING FOCUSED.
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
WORKING QUICKLY.
PAYING ATTENTION.
GETTING THE JOB DONE.
We don't expect perfection, especially while you're learning. We do expect effort, improvement, reliability, and accountability.
If you're a hard worker who wants to learn, improve, and earn more responsibility, we want to hear from you.
If you're looking for a job where you can do the minimum and get by, this is not the job for you.
I’m tough, but I’m beyond fair.
And once you’re a member of our team, you’ll grow your business knowledge faster than anywhere else. You’ll be a better business person and a better person. I can guarantee you that I’ll be on your side personally and professionally. With the exception of my family, no one is more important to me than those who choose to work alongside me at the company I
lead.
PLEASE BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF BEFORE APPLYING. IF EVERYTHING I SAID ABOVE HASN’T DISCOURAGED YOU FROM WANTING TO BE A PART OF OUR TEAM… PLEASE APPLY USING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
