![]() Just as a reference point, I was paid $10/hr. As far as conditions go.Īnother former warehouse worker here - I worked at a Walmart warehouse and see a lot of the similarities between our experiences (even though I was in the shipping department). But I know those people didn't move all day (stayed in one place packaging boxes), so I'd imagine the assembly line deterred packages from being treated badly.Īnswered this above, but I'll give them again! I think it's important to note that a lot of these conditions are truly "first world problems." I'm really only comparing them to other warehouses in the industry in the US. However, I rarely walked over to the packaging center, so it's hard to say. And since we were in the middle of nowhere, and only had 30 minutes for lunch, you couldn't afford to leave.Īs to the question about packages, from what I saw, they were treated pretty well.

I've read articles about summer conditions, where dozens of people would pass out daily from heat exhaustion.ĥ) The cafeteria. Very cold in the winter (when I worked there). Lots of violence and theft.Ĥ) Temperatures. They'd hire anyone, not taking into account anything (like criminal records).

At my peak, I was picking 120+ items per hour, and it was just good enough. As far as conditions go.ġ) Ridiculous quotas. I think it's important to note that a lot of these conditions are truly "first world problems." I'm really only comparing them to other warehouses in the industry in the US.
