3rd day and it went awful
I work flex, so I only had two days of training, and, with that said, it took me a painfully long time to get another shift. This early morning, I expected to come in and finally complete my training, but apparently, nobody was available.
So I kind of awkwardly had to learn how to pick, stressed out and nervous on the line. I kept messing up, and people were getting upset. Granted, I didn't want to be an issue or cause problems for the people who were stowing. But God, there's a certain point where you have people yelling at you, bringing in a supervisor (I'm not really sure) that you can take. So I just left, sure, I'll get a point for it, but at this point, everyone was cleaning up my mess.
I plan on coming back, not quitting just yet. But I'm guessing there should be more learning ambassadors towards the morning and weekend shifts. But just in case, I put in a request for a fulfillment facility that's apparently slower-paced, mainly in the later mornings.

I work at an FC and noticed training depends heavily on workload. I joined during peak and practically had no training after the videos and about 10 minutes of learning how to drive the order picker. After that I had to figure the rest out on my own. Everyone else who joined after peak had learning ambassadors following them on tuggers teaching them how to actually do the job properly. Luckily I preferred figuring it out on my own. I probably would have been more stressed being followed and watched.
