I like the friendly atmosphere Weis Markets provides as it puts both the customers and employees at ease. Also, I like the patience and understanding of my fellow employees when I'm not sure if I'm doing a task correctly as it greatly helps me.
What I wish was different
I don't think I wish anything to be different.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share about my experience is to always ask questions. There have been many times during my shift where I would be asked by my employers to do a certain task only for me to point out that to them that I don't know what they're asking me to do. So when in doubt always ask questions no matter how ridiculous they may sound as it will definitely help you any career in the long run.

Warehouse Picker

What I liked
It allowed me to have a lot of alone time and I was able to just think about things going on. The job is also a work out so it helped me stay in shape.
What I wish was different
I wish that the job wasn't as difficult as it can be some days. I also wish that I would've tried harder to help me get better work bonuses.

Be prepared to work hard and to break a sweat. Work hard so that you stay at or above your picking rate so the end of the day isn't as stressful.
