So I'm 17 and my brother got me a job working at a warehouse and was just wondering what should I expect and does anyone have any advice for me?
 
Be early, pay attention when they're training you, and DON'T do what the
people who have been there for years do. I tell every new person at my job
that being like me will get you fired
 
Thanks guys I think I'm just gonna check out for a dude who's into sneakers and chill with him. Some guy called me out when I was in my concords for the interview so might just chill with that dude
 
thank ur bro for hooking you up with a job. times are hard now so be happy you're getting paid. be punctual, try to gain as much experience and knowledge on your job, and maintain positive relationships with your boss in case you need a future reference.
 
Be on time and like chino905 said, try and maintain a positive relationship. The job position might not be much, but a good reference is invaluable.
 
make it a habit to always be on time or early. 5 minutes early > 1 minute late.

stay grounded and humble. you're never too big to do any task. you'll understand how important this attitude is once you start working other jobs/progress up the ladder.

Concords for an interview?

Don't ever do that again, even if it's for a simple retail job.
 
Hopefully you have other people at your job to work with and socialize, working alone for hours and not seeing people isn't really fun

best advice, with any job. Dont blow it off as a first job type. You never know when you'll be applying for a career down the road, and they might be background checks. With that usually includes having former employers called.
