[QUOTE="Wordyone, post: 5268487, member: 99526"] I'm a 48yo female and I've worked sort aisle for nearly 9 months. I'm in okay shape for my age. I was actually surprised at how many women they hire for the job I do. In fact, most of the employees on sort aisle in my Arizona facility are women (although, I'm the oldest female sorter and kind of proud of that). The goal at our facility is 21 boxes sorted a minute but I find you can get away with less if you show up consistently (they have a problem with people calling in) and have a decent attitude. A lot of people try to head to small sort - I've been there some nights. I personally prefer sort aisle. I find time drags in small sort. In other area's of the warehouse I have met many older people including a 64yo female loader who has worked for UPS for nearly 15 years and another 55yo lady who is an unloader. If it's what you want to do, don't let age stop you. I find that sups like older employees because they are often more reliable. We have no parties to call in for on Friday nights...no hangovers on Monday LOL :) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
