[QUOTE="Working4TheBene's, post: 173132, member: 5903"] The tour generally consists of the hr rep (or a training supe)walking you around and showing you the lay of the land. You'll see how the oepration runs... they will usually tell and show you the area where you might be working in. It is usually meant to discourage people from continuing the hiring process. If you are still interested after the tour, then the hr will schedule for a follow-up. Usually the tour only last 10-20 minutes with time for questions. As far as advancement, most of the time, you will start as an unloader/loader. The progress to perhaps sorter. But there are also positions like handling incompatibles (packages over 70), spa (package scanners that apply labels), etc. Most positions if not all, require seniority... you gan seniority after 30 days on the job (that's considered your seniority date). Driving positions can be up to a 10 year wait.... For package handlers, there really isn't a dress code. Just nothing obscene or offensive. For drivers, that's another issue. Package handlers is the general terminology. You basically in one form or another, move packages from one location to another via conveyor belts. Just be prepared to be sore the first 2 weeks. Then your body should get more use to the work. And make sure you stretch!!! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
