    Work is hard. But you get accustomed to it. Get yourself some specialty functions to get some days out of the physical work. When I worked here, and I was inbound, I got trained as a clerical, and became a trainer. I spent probably 1 day a month in ART, 2-3 days a month on the dock, and then the...

    Usually you put spoon to mouth, then swallow. At least that's how I learned.

    Archived Is it true that people don’t usually make it past their first 90 days?

    The people that are let go before their 90 days are typically the people you can look at and understand...they will not make it 90 days.

    ART was easy peasy. Put box on line. Watch box go. Take box off line. Label box. I feel like people tried to over complicate the job too much.

    Mandatory was the worst. I didn't mind volunteering when I had time, but I could never understand the people who worked 6 days a week. 66 hour weeks? Keep em.

    In all honesty at the DC I was at, I don't know how anyone can ever complain. The work was hot and physical at times, and you work in a production environment. If you didn't assume that going into the job, I don't know what to tell you. But, for a job that doesn't require a college degree of...

    That's why you sift through the available trailers and pick 2-3 quick ones. Build yourself a buffer. Knock out a handful of shitty ones, then back to business. Process that happened at my DC when I was there was an unwritten rule/practice. I worked A1. I came into all four of our doors with the...

    Be honest. This is highly unnecessary. At a team member point of view, the stores and a dc are simple processes when it comes to sweeps. There are protocols and standards for sending things back, and the same with dealing with them. On the dc end in sweeps, either it comes back they way it...

    The BO was real. There was a guy on the A2 shift, we believe, bathed himself in the cheap cologne that you get in the bundle packs for Christmas. He wore wind breaker pants, typical grandpa mall walking shoes, and a stretched out A tank top. His cologne was on so heavy that cartoon scent lines...

    But we had some close games of tic tac toe to play. Sorry to burst your bubble about how caring you thought the dc was. We had a number to hit by the end of the day. No questions really asked unless you didn't hit it. Entire mindset of inbound was "once it's on the line it's out of my hands"...

    I'm only talking from my experiences when I worked at the DC, these are my preferences - I no longer work there. No need to separate pallets. We don't do it, a third party vendor does. We just unload and wait for warehousing to pick it up. Salvage, didn't matter to me. I didn't touch it. Goes...

    Send it back, even worse. Wash your hands of it. Don't think about it too much.

    Do you have any idea how many smashed china sets we just sent down the line because we didn't want to walk the 200' to the damage bin? I can give you a hint, it's a lot.

    There were a couple temps that pissed in trailers...that were caught. Numerous dead mice and birds in the inbound trailers. There was a day we put a dead bird on a box and sent it through the labeler. Didn't work so well. We've always had a joke in the dc that you should never buy a tv from...

    Crushes at stores? Gee, the DC takes it to the next level. I wouldn't be surprised if you guys unloading the truck got some man milk on your hands. All the funky stuff that went down in those dimly lit outbound trailers especially on the night shifts when the bosses never really made their rounds.
