Sortation associate

October 2018 - July 2019 • South San Francisco, CA

What I liked

The job was physical and didn't require a lot of thinking, it was a good workout. There were a lot of different tasks that you could perform, so never a dull shift. There was also a lot of overtime available because most people would leave at their eight hour mark.

What I wish was different

The hours, it was a weird time in-between swing and graveyard shift. My hours were 8:15pm to 4:45am three days in a row. It messed up my sleep schedule and I was always dead on Sundays.

Advice

Listen to what the floor supervisors say and do your job to the best of your ability.

What I wish was different

I wish I had had more interactions with my manager/with other people in charge. It was very hands-off most of the time.

Advice

Be ready to do a lot of physical labor, and anticipate a lot of exertion. Eat a hearty meal before your shift and get plenty of rest after your shift is over.

Warehouse Floor Lead and Team Member

May - August 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I felt like I was a part of a team and that the company really valued me and the work that I did. The management were really friendly and were always there to help and do what they could to help you succeed at your job.

What I wish was different

I wish they had been a little clearer about what I would be doing for the job (it was a little vague and so when I did it, it was a bit different than what I expected).
