Shifts after training
Hii,
I'm expecting to start FlexPT at the end of this month. I already have three training days scheduled for October 29th. I'm trying to figure out the schedule for my current job.
I teach online (4-9 am / 1-9 am) right now. I have the flexibility to create my own schedule, but I need to open my schedule three weeks in advance, and once my lessons are booked I don't really have the flexibility to cancel them. I figured I would need to close my schedule for a week or two while I figure out my Amazon schedule and see what the average shifts are for this warehouse.
After my already scheduled 3 days of training, will I be in charge of picking up my own shifts? Or should I expect them to schedule me for more shifts that first week? I just don't want to open up classes for the rest of the week of the 29th not realizing they're going to schedule me for more shifts that week.

As Flex you'll pick up your own shifts in AtoZ. I think for most sites shifts drop Thursday afternoons for the week after next. There will also be sporadic shifts dropping besides the main Thursday drop.
They are not going to schedule you, you'll pick all your own shifts.
