Target opens new Rialto distribution center (LA Business 072106)

3.1 Million Square Foot Wharehouse, is huge, they can store so much stuff, in there that I would hate to be in there buglerizing the establishment, because they would not know if I was an employee, or a theif!! The place is so big that you can run inside around the whole facility, during the rain storms and Wind stores of both the Winter, and Santa Ana Conditions, and never feel a puf of wind, along with never getting wet when it is raining, and get a 5to 7 mile run in during my lunch period. That is huge!! big I say!! Hey, did I mention that this place was big!!

I don't know if Target needs it, the distribution Center that it is replacing is located in Ontario, or Rancho off Fourth just E/of the I-15 freeway, well between the I-15 and Etiwanda ave. In fact it is along Fourth Street by the Rail Road Tracks and just at the W/Property edge the Jail. But that Distribution center is combonation store and Center, they train new hires to be clerks there and they sell the off brand stuff that is bronken and no longer in stock.

They have been open there for a while, well since before the jail was there. anyway. But The Distribution Center that is replacing the old one, well, you can fit probably five or six old distrubution centers in the new one, it is that much of a difference. 500 employee's and I bet they are pretty much audomated and but they hire 1000 employee's because they don't lay anyone off and they don't fire anyoen either. Weird system they have.

They would rather have you stay hired then lay you off or Fire you, becuase it is cheaper to keep you on the books as an employee then it is to fire you and pay unemployement, so they have a revolving door of employees. not a great place to work if you ask me, but no one is asking, so everything is great!!
