Area Managers are forced to work a minimum of 12 hours a day. They cannot sit down for 10 minutes to have a working lunch. MET for AMs is often requested and yet unnecessary. It destroys plans in our personal lives that we specifically planned on our "off days". Even if we like the job, this makes it impossible to continue here.

I would leave because the employees are not allowed to talk or socialize outside of the breakroom, i.e. while working, and I hate being forced to do overtime outside of peak season.

Air conditioning would be great. At least some big floor fans. Need air flow of some kind. Especially when masks have to be worn too.

Very flexible

It depend on what season u are in. Peak season is normally the busy and u will be exected to work over at that time.

I’ve been at the Hou1 warehouse for 5 months and it’s been a wild time there. It’s not a horrible place to work at, just very face pace and a lot of hard work. Managers are nice and are always running around doing stuff themselves, with the exception of some bad apples. While there is a lot of stuff to complain about, like not having enough equipment to work with or there being too many new workers not knowing what to do, every shift mostly ends with things getting done miraculously. Be prepared to learn many different positions as you’re going to need it here. The new layout of the warehouse made things harder for a week but now it’s running smoothly. Overall my only complaints would be that some people take their jobs a little too seriously for being a pt employee and want to yell at others for not getting things done. When people lighten up, the job becomes much easier and things get done in an efficient way. Good things about this warehouse is that there’s giveaways, free stuff here and now, themed days and familiar faces that understand the job well. I also enjoy the shift change options here and then because it allows me to adjust my work life when my personal life changes. Overall Hou1 has been a great place to work at, it just takes a bit of time to adjust and learn what the managers expect of you as a worker. Don’t let the opinions of others scare you into not applying for this part time job.

Nobody should be forced to be in a facility daily more than 12 hours against their will at any level. Ops managers should not be allowed to mandate in person meetings daily more than 12 hours after the Area Manager's start time. Once in a while, understandable but every day.....?

I applied for a Locker + roll on Jan 14th. Got a hirevue interview Feb 3rd. Feb 10th got email saying I got selected and to schedule a appointment at the hiring event, went to new hiring event on Feb 11th and that same day I got an email saying i've successfully passed drug test and said to wait for a new hire orientation. Got that same email on Feb 17 (prob got delayed bc of snowstorm here in TX). Currently still waiting for my New Hire Orientation:)

It took 2 weeks to get an available shift, my start day is Jan. 7. I was about to just move on and would have but I'm coming out of retirement and could take the 2 weeks wait. Now I just have to be there, do my job and accept permanent if/when offered. But my foot's in the door.

Everything is online. Show up for hiring event they tale ur pic for ID badge. Verify the schedule/ shift you want. Take drug screen and wait for an email with your start date .
