Be the Foundation of the Store

About Target

Before a guest can buy an item on the sales floor, a massive logistical engine must process it in the backroom. The Retail Associate acting as an inbound specialist is the muscle behind Target’s inventory flow. If you prefer to work behind the scenes, away from the registers, and love physical, goal-oriented tasks, this is your role. When you embark on an entry-level career in retail jobs with Target, you are joining the critical team that keeps the entire store running.

Job Summary

We are actively seeking physically strong, fast-moving, and team-oriented individuals to join our inbound logistics team. As a Retail Associate, you will be responsible for unloading trailers and sorting freight before the store even opens. You will serve as the logistical backbone, delivering the signature efficiency that sets Target apart in the retail industry. This is a highly physical, often early-morning role perfect for early birds.

Comprehensive Responsibilities

• Trailer Unloading: Work as a coordinated team to safely and rapidly unload daily freight trailers, moving boxes onto the automated conveyor systems.
• Freight Sorting: Quickly read shipping labels and sort boxes onto specific vehicles (U-boats, flatbeds) designated for different departments across the store.
• Backroom Organization: Keep the stockroom clear of hazards, breaking down massive amounts of cardboard and operating the industrial baler safely.
• Floor Push: Once the truck is unloaded, push the loaded vehicles to the sales floor to assist the General Merchandise team with stocking the shelves.

Industry-Leading Benefits & Salary

Your heavy lifting is supported by a comprehensive rewards package:

• Salary: Competitive starting pay of $16.50 to $19.50 per hour.
• Debt-Free Education: Access to our Guild Education program, offering tuition-free undergraduate and certificate programs.
• Exclusive Discounts: 10% team member discount across the store, plus an additional 20% discount on wellness products.
• Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance for eligible team members.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Must be at least 18 years of age upon application (due to industrial equipment operation).
• No prior logistics or retail experience required—we will train you completely.
• Must possess early morning availability (shifts often start at 4:00 AM or 6:00 AM).
• Extreme physical stamina with the continuous ability to lift, push, and pull 40-50 pounds throughout the shift.
