What is the most challenging aspect of working in a warehouse? 🤔
For me, it was meeting safety and performance standards. I feel those two elements conflict with each other.
Safety can slow performance down, while high performance can violate safety regulations.

Tips for studying while working full-time in a warehouse
Here’s a brief YouTube video on some advice for studying while working full-time in a warehouse. 📚
From my own personal experience I was able to achieve two college degrees and two professional certifications while working 10 hour shifts 6 days a week on the graveyard shift. ✅
I worked from 9pm-7am and what I did was complete my assignments before I went to work. Getting off work and trying to complete anything was really exhausting so I studied when I was rested.
Till this day I only sleep 6 hours a day which really helps in giving me an additional two hours a day. It took me 5 years to achieve my credentials and graduate with a 3.86 GPA. 👨🎓
The most important advice have for you is create a schedule and be very militant and disciplined about your schedule. You have to make sacrifices with your social life. I can tell you it’s worth it and I have no regrets. ✅

A day in the life of an Amazon driver

Although this isn’t warehouse work, this position is connected directly to an Amazon warehouse. 🚐
Keep in mind, Amazon package delivery service are owned and operated by contractors and not by Amazon. So drivers don’t receive benefits such as Amazon’s tuition reimbursement program. 📚
These driving positions can be found on the Craigslist transportation section and they do offer full and part-time positions. They are fairly easy to land. ✅

Uline Warehouse
Here’s a quick video of employees at Uline giving their take on what’s it’s like to work there. 🦺
From my past warehouse experience, I know Uline is one of the higher paying warehouse jobs. I applied there a long time ago and they did group interviews which I really didn’t enjoy. I’m not sure if they conduct group interviews anymore. I delivered to Uline a few months and their warehouse was very clean and well organized. I was really impressed on their set-up. 🧽
If you’re in the warehouse industry, I recommend applying at Uline. Any questions or concerns feel free to drop a comment. ⤵️
