Hey Breakroom! Found out about this site while trying to research the job I applied for online(my username should give a hint to which job). Well, I got the job and I start tomorrow.
 
Greetings and salutations.

Welcome to The Break Room.
 
Congrats on the job!

The first week on Flow is the hardest, but if you make it, it will get easier.
 
Congrats on the job!
You will have the worst time of your life!
Update soon! :D
 
Welcome! I swore my first couple weeks as seasonal flow team that my Team Leader was doing their best, to get me to quit! They try to weed out the weak and inept, so bust your ass, ask lots of questions and keep your area clean, even if it means picking up after others.
 
hey noobflow, new hire here as well for overnight flow. Any new thoughts on the job? if you had the insight before hand is there anything different you would've done to prepare? i have little experience in the field, being a seasonal custodian for a middle school, unloading and processing was sometimes part of the job. Can't wait to get started with the "real deal" though!
 
Thanks @RetailWorld! This info may help you too.
On the pick label, there can be a few "indicators" that dictate what to do with the product. On the label, it will be near the "Ad 08/21" in the example. If there is a "P", it means it needs to be pushed out. If there is an "S", it means stage. "B" means it's backstock...and part of the backrooms metrics is making sure that all product that has a "B" indicator gets backstocked. Otherwise your team is being inefficient and taking stuff out to the floor when they don't have to. If your store is a "Push All" store, this is how you tell the difference between what you need to take to the floor and what stays in the back without scanning everything on the line.

With the change to myPerformance though, it could be that this isn't a key metric anymore. I haven't dived into the backroom metrics with myPerformance.

Typically your NOP product will have some kind of info on the pick label that will give you a bit of insight on what's going on with it. If it's on AD, it could be there will be staged off area on the floor...or it could be that the planogram isn't in the system yet, so there will be a T indicator(Transition) with the date letting you know when it will be set. But if it's NOP or D-Code at this point, been in your store for awhile, and it looks like there will be no space or planogram for it in the foreseeable future...mySupport it, and request a CLR markdown on it.
