Hello, new hire here to a NJ center, 5 days in. I am currently a loader on Twilight. Questions are many, thanks for any help.
I was hired with 12 other new hires. Training Manager sent us to different areas to train. A couple to went to Sort, a couple to went to Unload, and the rest of us went to Load. Basically we all stayed in the same areas we trained in and are now assigned to.
1. Was there a process that they chose who went where? Or just luck of the draw?
2. I am a strong guy and a fast/hard worker but my scanning and walls are horrible. I am constantly rechecking myself. Scanning is between 200-300 pph, which Management said had to be better. If I am too slow, will I be fired or will they move me to a different job, ie Unloader?
3. I honestly think I will do better without the scanner, such as Unloader or some other area like the workers in the middle of the center who push/drag large Irregulars to our trailers. How do they get that position? Is it because they asked or too slow Loading?
4. Because I am 5 days in, can I request Unloader or Irreg mover? I understand that small Sort, Sort, and Irreg Driver are skilled positions. Can I ask to do those test to work those assignments as new as I am? How do I go about this?
