What I liked
Rewarding manual labor. Gave me a good workout. I enjoyed learning their bar code-scanning system and using technology to get the job done.
What I wish was different
I wish I had had more interactions with my manager/with other people in charge. It was very hands-off most of the time.
Advice
Be ready to do a lot of physical labor, and anticipate a lot of exertion. Eat a hearty meal before your shift and get plenty of rest after your shift is over.
