I’ve been doing warehouse work for about 15 years now. I started as an order picker and did that for almost 10 years. Cut to today and I’m a warehouse clerk (putting orders in the system so the picking crew can pick them). I’m one of the “desk jockeys” or “paper pusher” in the warehouse world. And I’ll tell you this.... I don’t miss order picking one bit!! I’ll take my comfy warehouse clerk job over an order picking job any day of the year!
I was almost 5 years into this warehouse and had a chance to move up to that same position but i got pushed to the side for someone who was a asskisser 😂
@@jds2307 same thing happened to me at another place. I worked there for almost 7 years and when a warehouse clerk position became open the main warehouse manager told me to apply for it. Which I did thinking I would get it. Instead they passed it onto one of their religious buddies. So about a week later I found an exact replica of the job I was applying for at a different company. Applied for it and got it. When I put in my two weeks at the place I was working they were begging me to stay and give them another chance “in case this guy doesn’t work out”. I said no. I gave them a chance when I applied for that position and they passed me over for a religion buddy. I found what I was looking for with another company. Bye. Later on I heard that religion buddy they hired for that spot was a total flake and idiot. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Idk I like the opportunity to make incentives. Unless the clerk job has that opportunity as well. I’ve gotten use to the labor, but then again I prefer the cooler over Dry ALL DAY! lol i dread helping dry dock
I work HR at my warehouse and we have a high turnover rate, we hire 25+ selectors a month and usually about 2 or 3 people will actually stay. it's not an easy job at first but it's super rewarding which most new hires don't understand so i go through the headache of going through people who just give up easily and stop showing up to work every month, i can't stress enough to new hires that it will be rough for your first 3 weeks but it gets easier with time which is why we give people a month to get into a groove before they have to start making the standard rate an hour......so as an HR worker at a order selecting warehouse my best advice to new hires is simply just show up to work! we have vets that can never make rates but we keep them because they try their best and show up to work when they are supposed to.
Lmao that is the cleanest warehouse I have ever seen. Lucky you got to select with no traffic whatsoever. Currently order selecting at PepsiCo in San Antonio. An absolute SHIT SHOW there. 25+ selectors in only 6 aisles and when we get there some of the aisles are completely clogged with pallets to where we can’t even drive. Gotta park our jacks far away and just walk. Awful equipment. Gotta get there an hour early to get a decent working pallet jack. I’ve worked up to 17 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. No AC. Excellent pay and no life lol
We had strict clean as you go rules they would get you in trouble if they caught you leaving a pallet or cardboard behind 😂😂 I was on graveyard we only had 3 pickers iwas counted as 2 😂 Thanks for watchn
If i could just park right in the middle of the isle, had nobody else around, and had half an orders worth of product in the isle, id be picking well over 140 an hour.
I was on graveyard for 3 years only had one other picker with me pickn when i moved to days i was still number one got picker of the year alot lol Thanks for watchn 🤘👍
I've heard it's a physical job. Doesn't look terrible but what do I know I've never done it lol, I wouldn't mind doing it though because it looks cool.
What companies have you picked for? Have you seen women being order selectors? I'd love to give it a try since I've worked in physical environments before.
I'm highly considering this type of work in the future. Here in AZ they paying $21 at the company I'm at. How much were you making here? Any advice ? Tips?
At this place i wasn't making much maybe 16$ at the time i did get up to 25 at another job.. Focus on accuracy first the speed will come with time and pay attention to other people how they stack and move.. Working in a freezer is like being in prison it'll break you if you let it get to your head.. Thanks for watchn 👍
@@jds2307 lol the freezer be depressing as fuck all dark and no one talking and barely anyone in there. Shit gets lonely especially when you’re doing 12-14 hour shifts that’s where I’m at right now but I like it cause I get a break every hour and a half where I’m at now
@@julianjauregui2938 i did this for 10 years didnt see a future in this industry so i moved on.. When you work alone on graveyard ill tell you one thing you will get through orders quick thinking soneone is chasing you 😂😂
@@jds2307 lol I don’t doubt it I’ve heard stories of coworkers having to leave the freezer after picking so long in there cause they swore they were seeing “ghosts” 🤣😂

thats one hell of a clean warehouse. ours is filthy. trash product pallets everywhere
They had strict rules about cleaning as you go. We would stop picking if someone left a chep pallet or slipsheet lol
Thanks for watchn👍
I worked at Staples warehouse for 14 years . I started picking like that to and made a game out of it to see how fast I could go .
I've been picking for 10 years starting when I was 18 picking is no joke though..
Yeah I have a 30 min playlist that I start to track my speed.
this sounds weird but I like this kind of work it's like a fun game plus it keeps you in shape.
It was a workout everyday they had us going crazy
Thanks for watchn

I've heard it's a physical job. Doesn't look terrible but what do I know I've never done it lol, I wouldn't mind doing it though because it looks cool.
It can be a demanding job when you have to carry a whole crew on your back 😂
Thanks for watchn 👍

Hey, kind of a late comment but are you talking about Bashas? I’m about to work there and I’m a bit worried about what i’m getting in to 😅
Aha! Caught you! You didnt stop at the tunnel! Lol jk, way to kick ass
Lol thanks for watchn 👋🤘
Like#6 too bad I wasn't number 1 on this video... darn now i can't be like you lol!! Have a good day:)
What kind of clothing, do you recommend/wear for this job?
Light sweater definitely one pair of socks dont be fooled you get hot working non stop
@@jds2307 this is true if you specifically work in perishables (cooler) or freezer. Grocery is so hot might as well have no clothes haha
Steeltoe shoes not boots, some cheap bb shorts n a white beater for grocery. The less clothing will keep u cool n it won’t weigh you down
Talkman go to sleep.
looks like nestle
Yes sir it is worked there for 6 years
