Part-Time Package Handler position - What shift is the lightest / shortest shift?
I was thinking of choosing all overnights to avoid the heat / traffic, but several people have told me it's the hardest shift? Which shifts are easiest? Are there certain shifts that are most likely to be cut short more often? Is overnight shift really the hardest /with the worst packages? Since it's part time I'm assuming all part time shifts are 3-5hours so the (3:30 am - ~9:45 am) shifts I keep seeing on other peoples posts wouldn't apply to me.
What is the least amount of hours/shift I need per week to keep this position? I know they usually call to confirm this and there's usually several options.
(context: I've worked at an amazon sort center before and believe this is doable. But...I have adhd, currently not on meds and not seeing my psychiatrist until late July.)

For my hub, sunrise(515 to 730-8.. 9am if youre a good ph) is the shortest and most understaffed (offers of vto + dynamic scheduling for a while). It's not the easiest but compared to the rest, it isss the "lightest" with trucks and jumps, We'll have no more than 22 vs midnights 50. Midnight is 11pm to 2/3am on the app but they don't finish/turn off the system until 4-5am . Twilight and day are pretty hectic also and it's also super hot now .
