Pros
- Good work-life balance with working hours: 10am-5pm, 1-hour lunch break
- Flexible hours and dates depending on your availability but 3 days/week is required
- Supportive, friendly colleagues and managers. No drama
- Staff discount
- You are on your feet and moving around a lot, not chained to a desk
Job involves shelving books, vinyls, clothes and other products; keeping track of the items shelved; checking item quality before packing orders for customers; using online software to book shipment and ship orders. Occasional customer service tasks via email.
Cons
- Environment can get occasionally chaotic if there is a large volume of orders that day, or if understaffed and you have to switch tasks on the fly
- Environment can get very dusty due to the many books and boxes. There were fans but no air-con when I was there
- High volume of products to sort through within a limited space of the warehouse, can get squeezy sometimes
- Some may find the physical exertion a disadvantage
