At my overnight store, our 10 hour bulk shifts involve moving everything out of receiving and setting up the line for the unload, working the backstock side of the line, working out the the pipo (paper, water, etc.) and pet food pallets after the unload, backstocking those pallets in the racking after they've been worked, sorting transition, and bringing everything back into receiving and organizing it before the 6am vendors come in. We also backstock the paper and diaper backstock pallets and if we have time, either help clean up the floor and backroom or backstock regular freight before store opening.
Like others have said, condense pallets as you go about putting them up, I use LOCU almost exclusively to backstock in the bulk racking. Be prepared to pick up after people....people will leave the empty repack pallets unsorted, not put away their empty pallets, leave tubs, flats and carts in your way. At my store because of our very small receiving, be ready to stay out of it completely during the FDC unload as they use most of the space. ETL and TL support is hit and miss, so make sure you communicate effectively and always maintain a good work ethic. Be a step ahead of yourself all the time in planning out your night. Don't be afraid to partner up with your receiving person and the SFT on issues. Expect that most of the logisitics and backroom team will have no idea what you do, why you do it, why it takes the time it does, how hard it is some nights, and why you can't just follow them around helping them all night. Try to learn patience with those who take your position for granted.
Most of all, work fast, work smart, and remember that you have one of the hardest, most physically demanding jobs at Target. Take care of your body as best you can.
