I am sure that the warehouse has "waves" of turnover in employees just like any other company. Then, for a bit it seems like there are quite a few mistakes till all the newbies are up and trained and running well.
If I look back over my five years, the total number of mistakes doesn't seem to be too many...just seems like they all come at the same time!! lol
We have to remember that it's a balance. They are trying to be QUICK and ACCURATE and sometimes those things are hard to do...especially when it's people who are doing the picking and packing of the boxes. They mess up just like we do!
I know it can be frustrating, though. It adds to our "work" when there are mistakes made.

I remember in the fall last year, I had a lot of mistakes and I wondered if it was a hiring issue or seasonal hiring (hire and train now for the upcoming holiday rush). I remember asking my director if this was normal because I was really frustrated. It seemed to smooth out, but I agree with the above post, it seems to come in waves.
