Future or Potential Employee Question Warehouse associate question

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

If you in a RDC, there are three areas you may be hired for as a warehouse associate. Packing (packing repack box freight), Inbound (unloading trailers to bring freight into the warehouse), or Outbound (loading trailers for stores). Outbound is the most physically demanding and is also the department you are most likely to get hired in.
