yeah, the pay is pretty massive, which is why i think the conditions must be absolutely terrible.

yupp pick packing is shit,, yet the pay makes up for it.,

the title says it all pick it and pack

they expect you to work hard and pack fast..

and you would have to be physically fit at least.

I've done pickpacking when my agent gave it to me. It's easy, all you do is consistently pick products out that the company will then deliver to their clients/customers. Although, repetitive and shit boring.

i thought a pick packer sounded like someone who packed picks, like toothpicks?

I worked as a pick packer for Woolworths for two years.

Epic money ($32/hr, $44 on Saturdays!), and it wasn't overly demanding. I was doing 4 shifts a week from 3pm-12am and was clearing $800 a week most weeks. It really is easy, at Woolworths you get an effective 'shopping list' of items and you just go from aisle to aisle to pack whats on the list. You usually got an hour to do around 100 items.

You were timed on percentage so if you worked fast you could feasibly take longer lunch breaks because management didn't really care as long as you finished the day at 85% (even with my hour-90 min long lunch breaks i never finished below 100%) so its not that hard as i said. Max weight lifting was like 16kgs? Most were 2-3kgs.

Of course, your pick-packing experience could differ from mine. Great money but in the end it ruined my studies because it is pretty draining so I left. If you like working independently (because aside from breaks you won't really talk to anyone) this is the job for you.
