way back in my Target days, we had some seasonal temps come in that worked at our local store, then worked A2 at the DC. Didn't really work out to well, something about Target not wanting to give them time off to go work at Target.

Hmm, a decent vision system to identify and convert bar codes is easy to set up. getting a reliable 6 axis robot to handle the various carton sizes, is do able. Target already uses robots to build pallets at some of there FDC's. they could put in a system like this to supplement the personnel...

Trowa: I was a Mech 2

ugh, a sorter crash, that was alway a BAD time for anyone in a green shirt. I do have to say though a crash or incident on those Crisplant S2000's are a lot cleaner and easier to recover from than a failure on a Buemer 2d sorter

yhea don't get on here as much since I got fired.

cargo control equipment costs $ the damaged product can be written off the balance sheets. basically it all boils down to saving $

I know this is a way old thread, but i haven't been on here in forever, so... The DC in not responsible for deciding what is pipo verses conveyable and Non-Con. Thats the job of logistics at corporate, now there was a level of freedom to override some things But that was up to your...

personal time doesn't get paid out so burn that up. your 401k will be able to be transferred to the new job pretty easy even though spot drags there heels on giving you the money, but FYI if youve been there less than 3 years they keep the money in your pension.

much like Trowa, i had a phone interview and then a in person interview followed about 3-5 minutes later with a job offer( might not have been that long i didn't even leave the property before i had the offer) A lot depends on what level of position you applied for

At the DC I worked at there were indeed 2 AP positions the GL and the tech, basicly they watched cameras, did the empty box audits on the stores and a few other minor tasks like printing up replacement badges. the security functions were contracted out. It's probably not a bad position to be in...

well I can't give you first hand knowledge, Fac-Ops was one of the exemptions to the physical assessment testing, but from hearsay all the test consisted of was stacking weighted boxes on a shelf with the aid of a stepstool without letting your heart rate exceed a set range. From looking at some...

well if tour receiving pallets from one of the newest FDC's either Denton of the other one(I can't remember where off the top of my head, but it's in Ohio) the pallets of food are stacked up by Kuka robots. They are stacked that high just so Target can get the most product in a trailer, after...

couldn't tell you, inspecting the repack is part of the packers job, but as productivity quota's increase things are going to get worse over time

you know how things are at Target, every single word said to a GL is recorded in your record every single damn one. then when they want to get rid of you they just pull up things you did 6 months to a year ago and write you up for that, repeat until fired

so wait they still kept you employed after calling the integrity hotline? everyone I've know that has called and gave their name was fired a month or 2 later.
