Reponse from Express Employement Regarding Pets: "Pets are allowed. However, if they are going into a hotel, they would be put on reimbursement. Camp grounds would be direct billed."
@genekied
@genekied Жыл бұрын
I got an apartment for the rest of my stay here at Digi-key, Express reimburses for your rent but not the pet fees, $25 in my case. Small cost as far as I'm concerned. Electric is also on you, again not that much. The job is pretty nice and I've been here since April 2022 and plan to ride it out till the end as I need to get my rig in order and save as much as possible before heading back on the road. Might even do beets in the fall. As far as stress at work, I'm nearly 64 and find it mildly taxing on my feet and legs as you are always on your feet. Our apartment is less than a mile away and since I don't have a car, I bike (yes, even in the bitter cold) but you could walk. The money is basically as stated and with the overtime we have been offered, I figure I will make around $65K this year less taxes and add what rent costs ($825 mo. ) we really are making some serious $$. The weather has/is being brutal, we have feet of snow and it's regularly -10 degrees and below. I'm used to it, spent 12 years year/round in Yellowstone but some of the folk are really surprised by it. We are coping with it and it's a great environment to work and you can make lots of friends both with the Express migrants and the locals. This has been a really great life-changer.

My wife and I did the Beet harvest this season for the first time. Stupid money, $4k for 11 days straight of non-stop work. I was "beet" to death when we were finally released. It was probably one of the more dangerous job I've done, if one is not paying attention. But it is also a job almost anyone can do. Its not difficult. It was fun to meet other fellow travelers. We had the good fortune of working with the "three sisters". I've never met a group of women with better leadership skills. Jessical, Elsa and Mary, thank you. It was a joy working with you. Minnesota is too cold in the Winter for me. My goal is when it snows, to move South.

@@catniplovescake released is what happens when the harvest is finished. The beets can't be piled if they are frozen and can't be piled if it's above 55 degrees because the beet is trying to heal itself. If it stays warm, the beet burns up all it's sugar and dies and starts to rot. The pile can literally melt away. Once the major farms have their beets harvested a skeleton crew is kept on to pile remaining beets that the smaller farms didn't harvest due to weather, or equipment problems. If we wanted, we could have stayed a few more days, but we were done at that point. People travel from all over the country to work the beet harvest. It's the most intense harvest in the world.

I also signed up for the beet harvest. My goal is to buy property in November.

Good information and good pay. I will say that going to Thief River Falls in January is something I would not consider for myself. My van is insulated and I have a Webasto heater and I wouldn't do it. Especially this year with the snow that's already fallen and the projected temperatures. I've lived in Minnesota for 45 years, but when I built my van, part of the reason was to escape Minnesota winters-and I lived 3 and 1/2 hours south of Thief. Just my .02.

OK here it goes this is probably gonna be kinda long. I was living in my van in central Texas for about a year working at a job I did not care for. I was always interested in being a nomad but wasn’t able to afford it, I saw your video on nomad job that did about Digital-Key and so I thought what the heck I wonder if they’re hiring permanent. So I went online and applied they offered me a job packed up my stuff in the van move from Central Texas to thief River Falls Minnesota and started full time. I found a cheap apartment in town and I am banking a ton of money getting ready to hit the road. I want to say that Digi-Key is a fantastic place to work I work in PDCE which is picking/moving larger items using equipment. The shifts are great, the supervisors are great the facility is fantastic I’m in the new building. If you wanna work during the days they have shifts if you wanna split days they have shifts and if you wanna work at night they have shifts too. They also for the most part allow overtime as you wanna work it sometimes there’s restrictions but there’s usually always some overtime or weekend time available if you want it. If you need to change come to Digi-Key in thief River Falls, you won’t regret it sure is cold for a couple of months and there’s a little bit of snow but it is absolutely beautiful and the summers are just unbelievable. Even if you’re looking for a full-time job and maybe a change in your life apply come up here and see how you like it, cause I know you will

This is the same role from a year ago of moving inventory from the old building to the new building. As a reasonable accommodation anyone with a wheeled walker that has a seat can apply to the job, perform their work duties, while still having their seat to use for picking and packing or to take small breaks as needed. If you're someone who can't drive but can still get to the job like via a greyhound and then an Uber between the employer and the hotel/motel room you should be set. Maybe carpool with some of the other employees that are being housed at the hotel?

How do people keep their vehicles going in those temps?! I’m in WA/OR & even muttering the word snow shuts down the west! And all of sudden no one can make it to work because "I live on a hill"🤣 Really-how do you keep batteries going? Can’t just plug-in an engine warmer or a battery trickler in park lot.

That’s a good question @dianashelton. Are they going to give you a 1099 at the end of the year for all of the housing they provide or housing expenses reimbursed? That would be a big hit tax-wise, especially if you weren’t expecting it!

Most of the items are placed in plastic bags or directly in plastic totes for transport on the continuous belt system that runs through the buildings. Some parts are small and some are larger but, not beyond the scope of most people to handle. Think of electronic parts that fit within a computer. They have millions of these small parts. Some parts are so small you need to count them on a super-sensitive scale. They also cut and splice reels of very tiny parts. You will be using a hand-held scanner for the entire shift. Learning the computer commands can be an issue for some people as there are so many commands and methods to utilize in moving and ordering parts in the computer system. Some people take to it quickly, while others take longer. Lifting, moving or using your hands is no problem for many people. I have not encountered any strenuous activity in picking and packing. Most people are willing to help you if you ask. Yes, the concrete floors are hard but, the work stations have rubber (or rubbery) mats. You will be provided in-training inserts for your shoes. My advice is to buy well-cushioned shoes or orthopedic shoes. Cheap shoes will not work here. I hope this helps.
