In my personal profile it says my current job step is 700, and somebody else (a newer employee) told me their current job step is 10. What does it mean? It's listed right below "Current Pay Rate" and "Last Wage Rate Increase".

It's just a vague number to describe what your current pay grade is. Everyone is on a different pay grade depending on which division your store is in, your contract, and what your position is. After a certain number of months, you get a small raise. And so on and so forth until you top out at your current position.
I thought it was the number of hours you have to work til you get your next raise or something like that?
It probably was. But don't quote me on that. I think I used to have 3 digit job steps when I first started. The number would shrink down each week I'd complete. Cause every 6 months, you get a wage increase. Yeah... I remember something like that. But after our new contracts, that all changed. I mean, right now, I have a low 2 digit job step. And it does not change after every week. And I work full time, so there is no way in hell that there are only 30 work hours in a total of 6 months.

Yeah I've noticed the same thing. Are you local1000?
In my area, the next job step (aka pay raise) is roughly every 1000 hours completed. My job step numbers go up... I can't check it at the moment though, because it's that night of the week for Express HR.

Me again... just checked and I'm topped out at step 500. No "next step" anymore for me, although I hear the union's trying to bring the overnight $1 up to $3? $21 an hour to stock groceries doesn't sound too shabby.
Your night crew gets paid $18 an hour by default? What state is this in?
Colorado. $18.44, plus the overnight dollar, so it averages out to about $19 right now. Cost of living here is getting stupid, though, so I don't know if it actually amounts to much more than other areas with "less" pay.
