What hours does a receiving associate at Sears typically work?

I have just recently been hired by Sears as a receiving associate. I am just curious as to what types of shifts receiving associates typically work? My availability is Monday-Sunday 9am-9pm, however I am looking for mostly daytime hours. What time does Sears usually keep a receiving associate until? Are the hours usually pretty flexible?

Also, are tan khaki pants okay to wear?

Any help is appreciated!

I am creating a resume for Career Development class, and I need to fill out a duties section for Walmart Receiving Associate. I basically performed overnight stocking but I am not sure what to put down. I remember restocking the health and beauty department, aisle sweeping, basic customer service, product descriptions, grocery cart collection, and backstock inventory management. I just don't know how to word that for a resume.

I am a recent Accounting graduate and have been having trouble finding jobs due to my lack of networking while I was attending school. In the meantime I found a full-time job as a receiving associate at a upscale retail store, although my superiors told me from the onset that they would be exposing me to the accounting department and it's activities over time. Meanwhile, I keep getting calls from recruiters offering me temporary contract positions, sometimes with big corporations doing accounting or audit related work, but they are hesitant to give me the positions due to not wanting to jeopardize my current full-time gig. Should I bite the bullet and jump into some temporary work? I know the long-term financial security is not guaranteed and I don't wanna burn any bridges with my current employer in the event these contract jobs lead to nowhere. On the other hand, I don't wanna dwell too long in retail and I know big corporations look for hands-on accounting experience. As for additional info, I am working towards becoming eligible for the CPA exam in Texas and have been told I have a decent GPA of 3.7. Hope that helps.
