I'm thinking about applying for an overnight seasonal job at Target but I'm not sure what to expect. Can anyone share details about the working hours or pay for overnight roles?
Target’s overnight seasonal jobs typically offer work opportunities during the late-night and early morning hours, often beginning around 10 or 11 PM and ending around 6 or 7 AM. This can vary slightly depending upon the specific store’s hours and needs.
In terms of job responsibilities, you could be assigned tasks such as restocking shelves, setting up displays, marking price changes, and ensuring the store is ready for operation the next day. Physical stamina is usually important for these roles since standing for long periods, lifting, and moving goods could be a significant part of the job.
As for the pay, it can vary based on the location and the specific role, but typically, overnight roles at Target often offer a shift differential—an increase in pay—for working during these less traditional hours. As an example, pay could be in the $15-$19 an hour range (again, with variances based on location and role). Seasonal employees are usually not eligible for company benefits, but they do receive a store discount.
Remember, this job would require being able to work during irregular hours. So, make sure you carefully consider your own schedule and sleep patterns before opting for overnight positions. Good luck!
