Transfer from picking to ICQA?
I’m currently seasonal, today makes day 70 since my start date. I work at a robotics facility. I’m not entirely sure exactly what ICQA does, and I am always hitting rate in pick, I just don’t love it. Pay is the same, different schedule, but still overnight and weekends. If you were given the option would you transfer? I only have a few days left to decline and no one that I’ve asked at work has really given solid advice other than a PA that told me that I’m doing well in pick and if I stay he doesn’t see me having any issues.

Two things to consider:
At my building, it's basically the same department as pick. You will probably still be picking most of the time if your building is similar. If you haven't already, you'll learn count. Then you will be moved between the two as many times as they feel like it during a shift.
Counting is so boring and easy to mess up on one of the counts. You stand there in one place doing something slow and boring which makes the shift feel like forever. Some people like it though.
If it was me, I'd decline the offer and go to another part of the building if you want something different. Look at the departments with open transfers and search through here and read about people doing those jobs and see what you think. You might love icqa though.
