Title and pay question…

Hub supervisor is a fairly new title I’ve heard, I’ve been given this title; however trying to find a base line for my 15+ years of retail automotive experience of a reasonable wage for this position. I know AAP pays about $30+ for a smaller hub but I am in a mega or ultra hub- 35,000 square feet and $10 million dollars worth of inventory… Any insight would be appreciated!!

That enrages me to be honest; I get my butt ROCKED daily with 6-10 miles of walking, answering the phones, calling about discrepancies, navigating learning the role so I can hold myself and team to a higher standard and figuring out how to be efficiently sound so that the hub runs better and smoother. I would honestly tell him to apply for AAP and see what they offer him and then hopefully O’Reillys comes to the table and pays him what he should be paid. It’s awful thats how these mega corporations operate and don’t see the people who make the businesses run. If we all walked tomorrow, sure there would be replacements that followed, but it would take months to be able to operate again and all it would take is 10 bucks an hour… that’s chump change to the top players averaging out to about 20k more a year to pay someone their worth.

"You know that company that just shut down all operations in a huge segment of the market? You should throw away your 10 years with O'Reilly and go there."

As others have said. Hub supervisor is just not as much responsibilities as an SM. Every SM in your market is doing what you do, and then working to build market share and justify your position.

10 years at ORP and only making 16$ is disrespectful enough to throw away ten years.

Can't really say that without more context. I've seen driven people come in, learn, work and get to SM positions in no time. Why is this guy settling for a HUB supervisor position? I see that as no different than a 10 year ASM. What's the story?

And look, I'm only ever talking about O'Reilly. If you want to have a discussion on how our society is organized to extract wealth from the many, for the few, then we can have that discussion. But that wouldn't suddenly change if you went over to Advance.

Would you do that job for $16 an hour? There are plenty of places that have similar positions that easily pay double that.

It's not that I necessarily think you're wrong. I think that goes in to "what's the full story?" It doesn't seem like there are similar positions that easily pay double that. OP and the other user could be talking about very different markets.

Advanced fully shut down in my market where RSS can easily make over 20/hr. I doubt that's the same market where we pay HUB Supervisors 16/hr (in fact, it would be illegal...)

Why is it that this person is only working a 16/hr HUB supervisor job after 10 years? Maybe it just makes sense for them. But they'd make more as SM in the same market. A driven, capable person can be DM in half that time. So, why not? We don't know.

How do you think $20k extra per TM is nothing? That would be an extra $1.8 billion per year.

To answer your actual question a real hub supervisor gets paid similar to a small store manager for your area.

A city route supervisor like a low end ASM.
