Backing out last minute before my orientation

I just got off the phone with someone regarding my application. At first, they told me that they only had an overnight shift and some days that I applied for (I wanted weekdays in the morning). But they only had Wed-Sunday from 11pm-4am. I stupidly said yes because I am desperate to get into a job. But I realize that the times might be harder to manage with my situation. I tried calling them regarding the offer but the lines keep saying they are busy. My orientation is in 8 days.

Should I just not go? Should I call them and tell them I no longer want the offer? Would this mark me as unreliable and unable to reapply to other fedex's?

Please be nice, ik it was stupid to accept when I should've said no but I was kind of desperate in that moment.

Taking a parttime position at a fedex as a package handler. Is it really not worth/as bad as some are saying?

My boyfriend's brother recently started his position and he told me that they're always hiring for positions. I have heard about working at a warehouse but I was not sure if I could keep up. I'm about to hit another year of unemployment and I am honestly just desperate at this point to at least have some kind of my own income

I seen a lot of mixed opinions about it not being worth it for the pay and the hours it offers and how it is hard. Saw on tiktok how some even gotten bruises all over them which kind of threw me off.

Is it really not worth/as bad as some are saying? Should I reconsider? I'm a 21F at 4'11 (or 5'0. I have not checked my height in a while but I am short as heck), this would be my first ever warehouse position. I really don't care atp, I just need a job to get myself back on my feet.
