Is it normal to have your first shift after orientation nearly three weeks after??

It’s been two days since my orientation at Burlington and I'm already confused. After we finished doing everything we needed to, they showed us around the building, clocked us in and out, and told us we'll get paid soon. When we asked when we would start, they said to keep an eye out on the ESS app and go from there. And later in the day it shows my first upcoming shift for July 22nd?? Am I missing something because that's way further than when I thought I would start working. That's the only shift I got for now, there's nothing else before or after the 22nd. There's been some cover shifts posted on the app but someone ends up beating me to it, is that my best shot to start working sooner?? I'm working back of house/receiving and I stated open availability and good for mornings since this Burlington is basically right by me. Any advice would be appreciated!
