Target Distribution Reviews

a very stressful place. petty

While the coworkers were great, management was horrible. Target truly does not care about the employees, you are just another number on a chart somewhere to them. They have unrealistic expectations for how quickly and efficiently you need to load up the trucks. A manager once told me I had a total of “an hour of downtime” if you added up all my time between scanning each box over the course of my 12 hour shift.... yes because i have 5 lanes of conveyers shooting boxes at me that I have to load up into trucks as well as massive pallets of cases of water and who knows what else, while driving around a lift to scan and deliver boxes to other peoples lanes. Yeah I’m sorry, but there is for sure going to be quite a bit of time in between scans when I’m delivering stuff, it would be impossible to be sitting around only scanning boxes all shift. They work your fingers to the bone for very low pay and are never happy with anything. It’s a great job if you are desperate and need a temporary job like I did. But I would stay far away when it comes to having a good career. Also, get used to the shift hours, I worked from 5pm to 5am. While it was nice only working 3 nights a week, it really messes with your sleep schedule.
