I used to do warehouse jobs because some of them have pretty kick ass schedules. I worked at a staples DC had 5 weeks of vacation/sick time my 1st year. The work week was 3x12hr shifts and all I did was drive a reach truck for 10.5 hrs.. We were paid for 12hrs had 2x 20min breaks and 30 min lunch.

Had really good insurance on top of that and during the back to school season you could work 7 days a week if you wanted anything past your normal 3 days was over time.

Only draw back was I topped out at $19/hr so had to move on.

It was awesome having full benefits and having 4 days a week off.

A lot of the big retailers actually pay very good for their warehouse positions. Walmart as example was paying $18/hr to start at many of their facilities. The kicker is just like with staples pay depends on region.

My position in CT topped out at $19/hr but say here in FL the exact same position would be $15/hr.

Anyway they tried a robot box cutter at Staples and it was fucking shit up left and right and kept breaking.

The best part was they paid like $350k for the thing this the company in Japan they bought from went bankrupt and closed up..
