The small products are the easiest parts you'd wanna top prioritize by getting rid of them and make the medium/larger products a low priority. You get rid of more stuff faster if you start stowing the small products first before you're left with the larger products to stow. So, you would gain decent productivity and average where they would expect you to average in scanning or more. One thing you NEVER wanna do is stick your body parts or cross over the open bay (where your ladder is between the steel fencing) into AR area where the robots go all over the place. If you get caught sticking your body parts and crossing over the open bay, you get canned on the spot and get escorted out the building. They get strict as hell on safety there.

@damnathan6175
@damnathan6175 3 жыл бұрын
It’s bi weekly. I’m not going to be here and sugar coat it. This job is insane it was good when I started first but after like 2 months things start changing like the environment itself. The manager started getting stricter for no reason. For example I was stowing at least 500-600 item every 2 hour but they started giving us big boxes and they wanted us to stow big item fast when there’s no space on the pod to put it. They know they give us big boxes and later what to blame us for not stowing fast enough. Second reason, the rate and the way they track you is unrealistic for human. They want us to stowing at the same pace of 250 item per hour for 10hr on your feet without getting tired. They don’t care about your health dude if you get injure at the sight, you better have pto or upt or you will get fired even though you get injure at the job. I was injured many times but I was force to keep working cause I don’t want to get fired cause I have no time to cover it. It up to you.

Don’t entirely be fooled there are like three types of stowing, so if you think this one is easy it’s because it is the package weight dose not go over like 0.5g. The other two are by far harder where you have to lift 15-23kg every 2minutes as well as stow at 450 ph, however sometimes the line supervisor is annoying and thinks everyone can do like 600ph for 8-10 straight hours.

Idk why this is so confusing to me. I used to work at a sorting site and it was amazing but had to quit for an emergency and when I tried to apply there were no openings so my other option was a fulfillment center, where I will be an inbound stower just like you. My main problem is that I get scared that some items might not get registered when I actually put them in the bins. At the sorting center, when you “stow a package” you hear a sound that lets you know it was stowed but here you just hope the camera caught it, right? I also don’t know if it’s ok to move bins around to have all same size items to stow in a certain pod. Ughhh I really dislike their training they should have us shadow someone for at least an hour instead of just giving us instructions and leave us on own own.
