Take notes. If your Division has division specific notes like Houston and Fred Meyer do, make sure to get a copy. If not, there's a **** load of documents on the barneyweb, but they're a bit generalized. They'll get you through the stuff that's standard across the Enterprise, but not division specific stuff.
The hardest part is all the paperwork and line balancing. Take as much notes for this part as possible as it's the part most newbies have the most difficulty and this is where the majority of division specific procedures are.
It'll take a while to absorb all the information, don't get discouraged if it takes a while for you to get the hang of it.
