    This one is better than the automated pods unless you hate/cant walk for long periods of time.

    Man this sucked. Stowing was so much easier. They forced me to train for pick and I almost quit. Stowers always get in your way, it’s way harder to make rate as pick is pushed harder than other jobs

      I'm the opposite, as in I'd prefer to transfer to a robotic FC if I could move. When you get batches that make you walk to the opposite end of pick, just to grab one item then back again, doing the same for hours, you'll kind of wish for those robots back.

      You would not love to do this after 8+hours of walking, going up to level 5 for one item, then back to level 1 for the next 10 items kinda deal.
      Robots coming to me would literally save so much physical exhaustion.

    I would have liked this job too... the robots/pods come to you and you have a small slide ladder to climb up for the higher items.. I see you have a step stool... I guess every warehouse is different.... I never got the picker position.. this seems like a separate floor altogether and not noisy...

    • @rubenz1224
      @rubenz1224 3 роки тому +3

      Yes, your pretty much timed for both departments. For picker, after 5 minutes of not scanning an item it would be considered TOT (time off task). For packer I believe it's also five minutes per item (I'm not so sure). But picking it's a lot walking depending the warehouse you would work at, while packer your just at one station all day.

      @СтаканВоды-ф1в 2 роки тому +2

      It really depends on what you like more staying or walking,for me it's the second option cause when im walking,mostly "slow running" :) it depends on my mood,it kinda feels that time goes faster,and one more hint stop looking at the clock on the device all the time ✌️ 😁 and buy a neck warmer ,put it on your ears instead of a simple mask just to hide the headphone that you're listening to😉🤘
