Pros
Obviously everyone's experiences are different, there are a lot of variables. The pros I list pertain to the Outbound department. As long as you're hired into a warehouse position you make a starting wage, currently of $17.24 with a top out of around $21. Its a full 40 hour work week with opportunities for overtime, and in certain times mandatory overtime of 12 hour shifts. You receive your check weekly versus every two weeks, which has multiple benefits. The management has been kind and accommodating, and the team members generally work as a team. The work is very physical and results in a lot of turn overs, you earn your pay. The insurance isn't the greatest but its better than nothing and has proven useful to myself.
Cons
It is a very physical work environment. Not everyone can realistically work for a Target DC due to it primarily being physical labor. Loading trailers, picking items, throwing material onto conveyors. To get a first shift position you must be with the company for a period of time as it primarily works on seniority as to who can get those hours. Overtime does become mandatory at certain times of the year such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, other major shopping times.
