What do you like best about your warehouse job?
I enjoy doing a good job tracking inventory. It gives me a lot of personal satisfaction to know that I can find almost anything. Once I discovered a discrepancy on an item that was released to another location. When I tracked the load down, it was where I said it should be but was hidden by another load.
Those types of situations happen and it feels great to be able to rely on our tracking methods.
