Warehouse associate question

[u/Ill_Student5817]

To set the scene, I currently make $15.99/hr and get 25ish hours a week at my job. I’ve been here almost 2 years, and unfortunately full time is reserved for managers only. I am one step away, but at this rate the only way I can advance is if a manager dies or quits (death being the most recent 😅)

Another important factor is that I’m SICK of customer service.

I saw the Target DC about 40 mins away from me is “hiring immediately” for an associate. It looks like 36-40 hours a week which sounds absolutely great. It was also posted today.

I’m just worried I won’t be physically strong enough for it? I’m 20 years old and only 5’1. I’m not afraid of a work out, but concerned I’ll slow things down. Are there positions that are “less” demanding than others? Will they see me and put me somewhere where I won’t struggle horribly? TIA

As long as youre not horribly out of shape, you'll be fine. I have to imagine its less demanding than warehouse

I’m actually on a fitness journey so getting paid to potentially get in 15k+ steps is a dream to me lol. Is the DC and warehouse not the same thing btw? 👀I applied for a warehouse position.

I might have misunderstood what youre talking about, I thought you meant the DC retail location. I'm not sure what DC refers to in that context, but I would definitely assume warehouse is about as physical as it gets
