You pick items to fulfill customer orders. Sometimes there's back and forth to accommodate what orders need to go out at certain times. Though, sometimes your next pick is one aisle over. It all depends on the customer need.
Not sure how it is in the city but I'm in a different department...so for what I've hear u walking the whole warehouse back and fourth picking item that come up on your gun..
at the Joliet facility the picking is over 750,000 square feet the size of four football fields one floor to the next floor four floors and sometimes you can be on the first level and the tracking device will send you all the way up to the 4th floor which is equivalent to maybe two blocks and a half in One Direction which is unfair to workers if you're constantly going up and down the stairs to get to one floor to another and not to forget you have this tracking device in your hand that's showing how much time it takes for you to pick an item as an employee there now working for 2 months I feel that that's not enough time to learn the job number one and they expect you to pick 100 items within so many hours remind you that they're on dead zones on the 4th floor that will cause your tracking device to go dead
In the city we basically pull bags out of cells, scan and place them in order on racks for the drivers to load their vans for delivery... Sometime we load it for them.. Picking out there doesn't sound hard not sure how big the warehouse is but I'm a fast walker .. I thought that position paid 14.50 a hour for the 7:30 shift not 12.50 which is why I'm undecided about joining that facility because I'm on the bus so it would be a long commute and I know it's gone be make me even more tired Thanks
It's a lot of fun once you learn it
It is largely apparel, a good amount other merch but I have heard other warwhouses do more bulk or solid goods.
