What skills does one typically acquire as a temp packing worker in a highly automated warehouse?

It's not a "skill" per se, but demonstrating you will reliably show up on time and do your job has a definite value in the labor market, and could lead to other opportunities.

How about learning how to get along effectively with others? Or given an individual that was interested in operations, how to run a warehouse, principles of Lean, etc?

A job can be a stepping stone to a better future. Perhaps that is true here?
