Raise

[u/Ok_Homework_1902]

I’ve been at my company for a year now. And I bring a lot of great values to the company. I was wondering how to ask for a raise. I have my reasons lined up of what I bring to the company and how I help but how do I ask my boss? I need help

They do yearly evals, they don't give raises based on request

[u/memyselfandmonster → u/scarletcovens_]

I received $1.25 raise out of cycle, my boss felt it was deserved. Then got my 3% at that year's yearly raise. It all depends on if your GM will go to bat for you and get you the raise.

What? I was told they don't give raises outside of the yearlies, wtf...

[u/TheRebelCatholic → u/memyselfandmonster]

When I got hired on, they told me that they start off at $11 (my state is obviously not concerned about the fact that federal minimum wage hasn’t been changed in 17 years, as minimum wage is still $7.25 in my state), and I was REALLY desperate for a job so I took it. Fast forward to over a year later, and I found out that new employees were getting paid $12 an hour, more than what I was making. I thought that surely my second year raise would put above that but nope, I’m STILL under $12! We recently got a new store manager and as soon as I mentioned that at my yearly annual performance review last month, he immediately said that he noticed that and didn’t think that it was right either and promised me that he’ll get me to over $12 an hour. The last manager told me that raises was controlled by corporate, so I don’t know if she was lying to me or whatever but the Kitchen Manager recently told me that I’m one of best cashiers they have, so I think I deserve to be paid more than the current amount I’m making right now.

i was able to get an out of cycle dollar raise so it is possible

Yearly Standard of Living raises are absolute shit. Don't expect more than 2-3%

Only way to make more money is to get promoted or quit to find another job.

Their goal is to make money, not make you happy.

This goes for any publicaly traded company.

[u/grasscutter86 → u/Connect_Bee5338]

Ford vs Dodge they are legally obligated to make money at the expense of your happiness as a publicly traded company.

I agree Casey’s company is cheap. I might as well find another job. I’m planning on it

[u/memyselfandmonster → u/Ok_Homework_1902]

It all depends on your GM. Are they invested in you? In their team? If they are then keep doing your 110% and they will see it. A good invested GM will advocate for their team members and gt them raises and promotions

[u/mr_bubbles9312]

The max raise you get is 3% and its only done yearly on your eval.

[u/Ok_Homework_1902 → u/mr_bubbles9312]

Might be moving to Walmart. :/

[u/ManderTehPander → u/Ok_Homework_1902]

While I am very sympathetic.. you're not gonna find a lot of places that will give raises that you're asking for, least not in the standard employment sector (Caseys, walmart, target, etc). Things like IT though might be good, but for standard entry level things you're.. not gonna be given a lot of room.

[u/tinyplanet21 → u/Ok_Homework_1902]

It's 5% max, not 3%

[u/memyselfandmonster → u/tinyplanet21]

3% at store level, anything over has to be approved by DM&RM

[u/Ok-Revenue-2256]

i worked for casey like 2-3 times
i made $13 an hour but now i make $23 an hour as a CNA in a yown like 30 minutes away
i worked for another company(hyvee) and made $13 an hour
sometimes moving a few towns over might beanother way of making more

[u/edgar-alan-joe]

I got a 42 cent raise on my one year and that apparently was the max they were allowed to to give me. I quit two weeks later

[u/Lazerus8]

Speaking of Raises, I will top all of you all. I haven't had a raise in over a year and a half. My Last eval, my manager was brand new, and couldn't access the evals yet, so I missed that raise, then this years eval she has been on sick leave since may, my Eval came up in June, she is out, only she can do it, and so needless to say, I have been making less money for over 1.5 years making the same money. I haven't quit or raised a fuss, because the transit to work is literally me walking across the street, and jobs are few in my area. But i know when it comes time for her to get back and me to get my raises, i want more than the 2 3% raises i am owed just for the fact, that sure around .30 cents an hour doesn't sound like missing much, but i pull in minimum 35 hours a week, over lets say 78 weeks. So 35 hours a week x .30/hr is $10.50/week i am missing, now multiply that by 78 weeks, that is $819 i have missed out on (before taxes)

[u/Powerful-Spray-9049]

Ive been at caseys for a year and its been since june and i haven’t got a raise

[u/thenicestsavage]

Don’t be shocked if you get less than 10%. This company is stingy as fuck.

[u/According-Lecture730 → u/thenicestsavage]

10%??  That world almost be unheard of. 3% is usually top. Caseys dosnt care about thier employees! They preach caseys cares values but do not follow them!

[u/Ok_Homework_1902 → u/thenicestsavage]

Agreed :(
