I see things haven't changed since I left. Working at a DC continues to get worse every year.

My current employer is hiring for several different positions. It's 32 miles SSW of 579 with starting pay of $23.11, increasing to $24.50 in July (plus $1.00 differential for 2nd and 3rd shift). If you live south of the DC, it's something to consider. These are union jobs if that matters to you.

Hourly TMs are nothing more than box moving "things" to Target. If you are the only TM in the DC who shows up you are obligated to make building plan by yourself. At least that's what some of the regulars here seem to think. There must be some kind of Stockholm syndrome thing going on with...

So if everyone in your department called out, would you feel compelled to make plan by yourself? It was quite easy for me to show up and give TGT only 105%. I didn't give a shit if we made plan or not - it sure as hell had no impact on my paycheck. By year 2 or 3 a TM has topped out in...

I'm not management and would never accept a management role. Discouraging someone from a position with growth opportunities because it's possible to earn the same or more money by working a brainless, dead-end job six days a week is asinine. There is nothing wrong with staying in the same job...

An OM who graduated from a good university is beginning a career. A WW can look forward to moving boxes around for many years. I just looked up a former executive I knew who began as a GL-IT in 2004. Fifteen years later she became a VP of Logistics and Strategy at another retailer. Many other...

The OM role is a career position that allows for growth either internally or externally. The majority of WWs will never move beyond unskilled manual labor. Yes, it’s unskilled labor. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never held a skilled job. In 2012 there were two SGLs (SOMs) at my DC who made...

That's what I thought. When I worked for Target non-exempt merit postions were R paygrades without bonuses.

What is a level 2?

Now you did it. The store socialists are gonna send Bernie and AOC after you to spread your wealth.

The weekend differential is in place because DCs are hiring from the warehouse/light manufacturing job seeker pool. Weekend differentials are expected in these sectors. Saw a few guys transfer from the stores to the DC...lasted about 6 months before they went back to the store. Too much work...

Off topic, but whenever I run into former coworkers they all mention how much worse things have gotten since I left and how much they wish they could leave. Get out if you can. I know Target DCs pay well, but sometimes it is better to take a temporary pay cut in order to start on a better path...

I wasn't aware that other DCs allowed 10% during fall season. It was always 5% since I started at 579 in 2000 - same with 3802. Not my concern anymore. I'm coming up on 5 years of a Target free life. Get yourselves a nice union job if you can...

Super - good luck with the interview. The UA position is highly coveted as an escape from the numbers, numbers, numbers Warehouse Worker jobs. I don't know how it is at your building, but at my DC one generally has to start as a backup UA before getting the permanent UA job.

It's much less physically demanding then Outbound. The Physical Ability Test is not required and 95% of packers are women. You will be standing in a packing module with 3-5 other packers taking items from vendor cases and tossing the SSPs into repack boxes bound for the stores. The most...

Rialto is the location, it will be FDC T-3899.

Yup, mass vacation sign-up fills all the major holidays, so get yourself on the wait list if possible. DCs operate only first shift on Christmas Eve and are closed on Christmas day. They reopen for first shift on the 26th. As a B2 guy, you will get two nights off. The percentages for...

You can check youtube, but I don't think you'll find it there. Just use common sense:sturdy heavy boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes as you go up. Don't leave gaps between walls, some GLs will go into trailers and push on the wall to see if it falls back. That's corrective action if it...

Outbound sucks and you will probably hate it. Blunt, but it's the truth. There are specialized jobs in OB that will get you out of the lanes, but they seem to be awarded based on 75% seniority and 25% ass kissing. Transfers to other departments are 100% seniority based, so as the new guy you...

As far as overtime goes, you can ignore the responses from the store people. DCs have production plans that must be met. If the plan requires OT then OT will be approved, either voluntary, mandatory, or both. Regarding your question about staying late, yes that happens from time to time. It's...
