Being a TL seems like a shitty job...long hours, very high expectations and almost zero leadership training. What it looks like is a glorified team member, with way more bullshit to deal with. I like the fact that I can come in, keep my head down, talk to no one, and just throw cases. Having...

The more I glean from this discussion and my limited experience, I believe an arbitrary time, such as "1 minute per case," wouldn't work. Like anything, it is far more complicated than that. I am unsure if Target employs Industrial Engineers or if they hire an outside firm, but there is likely...

Huddle? We come in, find a place on the line, and start the unload. Even the placement on the line is sort of up to us. Just find a gap, and that is where you are sorting and stacking. I asked if they had assigned a section (Person A will have 1-21, Person B will have 2-30, Person C will have...

This is what I thought, but I wasn't sure and hoped someone would have some information on it. I think the issue is that there isn't a standard in place for training, at least as far as I can tell. You come in, complete some online modules, unload a truck with a brief explanation of that...

I know this is somewhat related to my other thread, and this is more of a curiosity than anything else. For background, I work in the supply chain and distribution industry as my "9-5" and work at Target a few nights a week just to cover expenses while my wife completes her doctorate. We use...

Thank you, Everyone, for your insight. I get the impression that these team leads are under a lot of pressure and have not received proper training to be effective leaders. I took a moment and talked to a couple of the established vets, who gave me some excellent insight on how they work their...

Male... mid 30s. I am working at Target part-time as a second job. I work from home for my primary career, which affords me plenty of time to sleep. As far as experience, I come from an operations background and have worked in warehouses, picking cases for incentive pay. I know how to work...

I've done inbound for about 5 nights post "training". Over the last couple of nights, I have had a team lead (I think that's what they are called) conduct some discussions on goal times and how to be quicker and more efficient. Perfectly reasonable, I am up to learn and be better at my job...
