TRADING CARD SPECIALIST
Henrico, VA | On site | We are hiring several shifts right now. Full time may be from 12:30pm to 9:00pm, or Part time from 5:00pm to 9:00pm and some late night shift schedules working until midnight are available. Eligible for shift differential for the evening shifts.
We are looking for people who are good at the thing most people quit.
This position is repetitive, physical and requires excellent attention to detail in a fast-paced environment. If you can establish a steady, consistent rhythm, you will do well here, and your efforts will be noticed.
WHO WE ARE
dcsports87 is a sports card consignment company in Henrico, Virginia. People all over the country mail us their sports cards, we photograph every card, list it, sell it, ship it, and get them paid.
We are the number one trading card consignor on eBay in the world. We move more than one hundred thousand cards a week and that number keeps climbing. We have over seventy team members working here.
We did not get here by being the cheapest place for customers to send their cards worth real money. We earned the trust of our customers because we take care of them, we move fast, we get it right, and when we do make a mistake we own it, learn from it and correct it.
WHAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY DO
Five work stations. You check in at the start of your shift and receive your assignment for the day, which moves based on what came in and where the workload is. Most people work two or three different stations across a shift.
Mail. Everything that arrives gets opened and sorted. Everybody works this one.
Photos. Capturing pictures of the cards so they can be listed.
Pulling. Matching a card to its title and picture and pulling the right one out of a batch.
Shipping. Packaging the sold card to ship to the buyer.
Batching. Building the batches the rest of the floor works from.
WE ARE NOT A COMPANY THAT STANDS STILL
We are constantly upgrading our machines and changing our processes for efficiency. We are heavily invested in technology and automation, and the way we run operations today will not be the way we run it a year from now.
If you pick up new equipment quickly, and you are the kind of person who notices a better way to do something and says so, that is a huge plus here. Some of the best changes we have made came from somebody standing at a station who spoke up.
SPORTS CARD KNOWLEDGE IS A PLUS
If you know cards, tell us. Parallels, autos, sets, print runs, rookies. It helps, and we would rather know it about you up front.
WHAT WE CARE ABOUT HERE
Work hard the whole shift, not just the first two hours.
Everything received in this building belongs to a customer. At first glance, you cannot tell a $5 card from a $5,000 card, so no matter its value, everything gets the same care and attention to detail. When something goes wrong, say so, and we fix it.
Be easy to work next to. Help the new person before they ask. We do not have room for gossip or drama here.
Go where you are needed. The stations change, the processes change, and we need people who move with it.
WHAT THE POSITION REALLY ENTAILS
We would rather tell you now than have you find out in week three.
Team members must be able to stand for long periods of time, which may be your entire shift.
Team members must be able to climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, reach, walk, push, pull, lift, possess manual dexterity, grasp, feel, see, talk and hear.
Team members must be able to read, understand, and communicate in English to follow safety procedures, complete required documentation, and perform job duties safely.
Team members must be able to endure repetitive motion for long periods of time. This does not change. The team members who are most successful here enjoy the repetitiveness and overall environment.
Team members may be moved off a station they are comfortable with because the workload may change between stations. Some days the volume of work does not let up.
Somewhere around week three there is a…
