Kontras
Pace has been increased to a great amount. During orientation they tell you the goal is 100 packages loaded an hour, this was a great pace not dangerous or hard if you're active and in shape leaving you time to load, organize, and stage your trucks. Now (about 6 or 7 months in) the pace is commonly 150-200 packages an hour, this is to cut labor hours I guess, to make the pace somewhat possible management and people from unload will come to help clean up your areas. Problem is (besides the inhumane treatment of employees) they need to help clean up because that pace causes you to constantly "Stack out" basically scan/drop your package to load when you can and keep doing that because you're taking 5 - 15 packages off the belt at the same time. When you're doing this all day you're more likely to damage packages, you're more likely to have tripping hazards, when you get large items it's very hard to make space for them, you will have a much harder time providing a quality load for your truck drivers. Heavy Items Hours (time and amount) Early odd hours to get the longer shifts, longer shifts are commonly less then 5hrs even for the best loaders who are kept on the longest. PTO is based off the hours posted on the schedule 3hrs perday (after 90days employed) Everything else with almost every low level labor jobs in the US.
