I started off in flow and then eventually made my way to backroom, id say backroom is more challenging but once you get everything down, you will be a pro!
just a few things to know about flow and backroom...
for flow
- DONT BE LAZY
- a box should be opened and stocked on the shelf within 30 seconds (this is the rule at my store)
- push to the piece (this meens make sure you fill whatever it is your stocking to the MAXIMUM AMOUNT, since you will be in backroom, you will find out why this will help your backroom team ALOT.)
- if they throw you in the truck to unload it, make sure to stretch VIGOROUSLY and use proper lifting methods, same for backroom, ( i threw out my back not doing this so make sure you do it!)
- since you are new, and you dont understand something, ASK QUESTIONS, that is the most important thing overall, dont be shy, any team member, team leader or ETL will help you out.
for backroom
- DONT BE LAZY!!!
- stretch like i said before
- ask questions like i said before
- make sure the batteries on your equipment are fully charged ( it sucks running all the way across the store to get new batteries)
- IMPORTANT**backroom is ALOT different than working on the sales floor, its almost like a totally different world, so make sure you understand what your doing before you make decisions on your own, make sure you take notes on all the functions of the PDA (thats what i did).
- make sure your trainer stands there with you and watch you perform backroom tasks, backroom becomes easier with time but is is VERY EASY TO F**K UP.
but overall, dont sweat it, and just be the best you can be, as for your backroom tasks, if you need any help with something you dont understand, message me and ile help you out.
