What does a Walmart unloader do?

Answer 1

Simple. You become Walmart's slave. You do whatever they want in a prompt and timely fashion or you get scolded, told to do it faster and asked to stay until the tasks are completed.

Basically, you must start by stretching/warming up. Then, you must pull the line in. After that, you have a minimum of 4 unloaders and one person in the truck. The person in the truck throws everything on the line, and you sort it onto approximately 50 different pallets. (One to two trucks daily (I've had three on one day))

Next, you sort apparel. This consists of pulling articles of clothing out of boxes, sorting them onto 6 different racks, and sending them to the floor. Again, in a timely fashion. Afterwards, you go to the Grocery receiving area where you are to unload their RSDC truck, Frozen and Dairy truck, and sometimes, the meat truck. Then, you go back to the General Merchandise side to pull pallets to the floor.

Afterwards, you are to bin merchandise as well as pick merchandise from the bins created by a pick list that is constantly being updated. You then send these picks to the floor, while being watched by management the entire time. Cleanup to follow all of this. Finally, you get to go home. You may leave as early as 11:30pm (very rarely) and as late as 4am. If there is time at the end of the day, you may be asked to stay and help stock shelves.

All of this stacks up and makes for a really, really bad day. Management are a bunch of ungrateful morons that want you to work as hard and fast as possible without regard to ones health or safety. You'll never be respected by management or any of your fellow employees. Overnight stockers see you as lazy and incompetent. You're constantly referred to as 'bodies' rather than the human being that you are.

Advice: Look for a job elsewhere. Chances are, you'll probably be treated with much more respect.
