I work 2-10pm Tues-Sat at my normal job, and decided to take on this part time sort center position for 11:15pm-3:15am Sun/Tue/Wed/Fri/Sat. I'm a night owl and wake up at around 1pm daily.

Anyways ... im kind of scared. I'm a hard worker, but this is the first job in my life that involves potentially intense physical labor. These were the objectives I had when looking for a part time gig:

-miraculousy find a job that fits into the 10pm-6am slot im awake

-exchange the time I spend doom scrolling on my phone after work for something that benefits me, like working a busy job with no cell phone use allowed

-something slightly active to get me more agile and start working on my physical health

So based on that, I came across to this sortation center associate position. My question is, what kind of work will I experience during this sort of shift. If im not mistaken, based on what I read, this shift may be considered the WD (Wrap Down) shift. Someone made a post here explaining what it means: https://www.reddit.com/r/FASCAmazon/comments/17eklqq/wrap\_down\_in\_a\_sort\_center\_explained\_easily/.

So if I understand correctly, I'd be acting as the late-night closeout and setup crew. Rather than scanning items in one spot, I'd be wrapping full pallets, printing final labels, and clearing leftover packages. Then, I'd use pallet jacks to stage those containers and load outgoing trailers. Lastly, I'd be helping with resetting the floor for the morning shift by hauling empty pallets, setting up fresh cardboard shuttles, and clearing trash so the warehouse is ready to go.

Is this an accurate summary? If so, is this one of the most or least physically demanding shift of all the SC ones? Anything else I should know or consider based on what I've written here?

I see a lot of posts of people talking about the Fold 7 --> Fold 8 Wide and [non-fold] --> Fold 8 Wide, but as someone who has concluded the wide format is not for me, I'd like to get some input from other people who have come to the same conclusion where if they were to upgrade, it'd be the non-wide Fold 8.

With the physical dimensions nearly identical, the deciding factor would be the value the internal changes bring to you. Whether it's the better camera, +600mah battery, new hinge mechanism, better resolution, etc - there might be something that makes it all worth it. Maybe there's another aspect I didn't consider.

So from a data and curiosity perspective, any input to this poll would be helpful to see where everyone is at.
