The work is usually organized in teams, with each person responsible for a specific step in the process, such as sorting items, checking quality, or sealing boxes. Shifts can be fast-paced, especially during peak hours, and may require standing for extended periods. Teamwork and attention to detail are essential to ensure safety and accuracy.
