    I think a lot of people are here trying to find out what you have to do in order to move up the ladder and get a different color vest. Well, at least that’s how it is at my location…🤷🏽‍♀️…I work at the Distribution Center in Fayetteville, NC…we stow, pick, and prepare the mail for the drivers…a 19-year-old kid who was there for three months he’s already a learning ambassador, he trained me…he has the green and blue vest I believe and I’ve been there about two months and I’m 40 years old and I’m definitely not trying to work hard lol! I see that the people with the red operations vests just Walk around bossing people around and they don’t even do anything! I’m trying to get their status and I have a business degree, so how can I use that in order to move up the ladder? Or maybe even move into HR?

    So far I been with Amazon for 2 years. And they need to wake up and bring out a tier 2 in the fulfillment. They would rather pay 1 person 6 figures when all tier 1 associates there do all the work. Whoever created that tier system needs to be fired. Also, they rather hire a person straight out of college and a degree as an AM rather than someone with experience who knows the work process. Safety is only big at Amazon only to save their butts from a lawsuit. And I can keep on and on, but if you work there, you should know because it's a worldwide virus within the company .

But i think you’re right about the cycle of not being happy. I’m convincing myself that i have a great team and all but i just can’t get excited anymore about anything in this job. I truly believe that you have to live a meaningful life only for yourself and that’s when you are happy.

    As a PA, I encountered a fellow on the OB shipdock w/o proper PPE (His Reflective Vest). He was an Lv. 10 Regional Manager. - I did notice the red ring of tenure around his badge - But I figured "Well he should have known, right?" None the less I heard about it later. Rather, was questioned "Did you talk to that guy?! What did you say? You told him to... HAHAHAAA"" But Mr. Jassy just visited out site. At least this time I knew who I was dealing with LOL

    Tier 3 is not just a PA position, its also TOM Team (TA), ICQA, RME, Learning Trainer and Quality. Tier 4 is not just AM, its also TSS(Tom Support Specialist), TOM IT, Learning Coordinator. also tier 9 exist its the regional managers that oversees the local IXD, FC, SC and DSP Nodes.

    • @URAWESOME94
      @URAWESOME94 2 місяці тому

      Don’t forget T4 is loss prevention specialist ☺️ I think he’s speaking from the standpoint of operations because the other roles are ops support. The tier levels in ops support don’t necessarily mean for example, a regional learning manager can tell an ops area manager what to do, even though the area manager is ranked lower. It doesn’t necessarily work that way. It just means the regional learning manager can tell the local learning manager what to do, and the GM would defer to that position to keep the overall learning process in line. That’s typically how all ops support roles are governed. They answer to both to senior operations managers, the GM, and their regional managers.

    Hello Grant. Thank you so much for your video and it was really useful for me. I am about to start my new graduate role as a L4 Area Manager next year, and have two questions which I would like you to give me some comments on if your time allows. ①Though it is going to be my first ever full time job after my undergraduate degree, my job description includes people management. What could be one way to communicate with my team members who could be older than me and have much more know-hows at the site? ②What kind of career paths are possible or common among L4 AMs, other than changing role through internal transfer? If you have any idea or know somebody who did so, please share me some cases. Thank you so much for reading til the end despite its length !

    It doesn't make sense to skip a level despite what the company says. There's a reason for it not to be published similar to their naming conventions of facilities. Every now and then you'll find a facility's name, acronym, or nomenclature sequence # skipped somewhere. But I'll go on a tangent so that's another conversation. About L2: it is more commonly understood to be considered Learning Ambassadors or LAs...rather unofficially. (Some people may even equate that to being part of a team like safety or part of the Loss Prevention Committee or ISS and so on. But I digress). LAs function as Leads or colloquially Lead Assistants to the PAs aka Process Assistants who in turn function similar to assistants to managers, particularly Area Managers as you stated. L5 managers can also be viewed as Sr (Area) Managers while L4 can be at times considered Jr. Managers. Both are officially known as Area Managers. About L3 & below: people often confuse Level 3s as Tier 3s or Level 1s as Tier 1s and so forth interchangeably. Tiers (can also) describe your tenure within the company, despite your Level. For example, if you've been there for at least a year or a year ½, roughly speaking, that is “the next *tier* up”. A Level focuses more on your position within the company. Sometimes happenings within Amazon exceeds research. One has to be in the company or know knowledgeable Amazonians or (former/current/internal/external) customers to really understand the nuances. However, that doesn't necessarily apply to you since you're part of the culture. More to the point, someone can be a Tier 3 being in the company for at least 2 years but still be at Level 1. Reasons vary but a common reason is that being Tier 3 with less responsibilities but more time within the company pays more than a Level 3 with more responsibilities with less time within the company. A con to that could be a slow progression to leadership roles for the Tier 1 associate vs the Level 3 associate. Also, if a Tier 3 (but still Lv. 1) decides after so many years to finally move up to a Level 3 position successfully, in many cases, their pay will be slightly reduced to start at that position's (L3's) pay rate instead of what they could make as a tenured Tier 3 employee. Communication around affected employees, indicated that there were a number of upset tenured Tier 3 associates who became Level 3 PAs but weren't previously aware of this. For best results, put your bids in early for progression up the chain of command. And don't just only settle for the next step up. Go for several levels up instead to compensate, etc. Like Jalen Pappe in the comments. And he's only 19 too! Yet he misses -Tier 1- Level 1 for honorable or legitimate reasons, he's even more proud of his accomplishment of being a -Tier 3- Level 3. Note: a Level 9 would be considered the Director level(s) or the _report to_ , from the GM, also known as Regional Managers in a more traditional sense. Additionally, there seem to be site locations where there are no Senior Ops Managers but only Operations Managers instead. That may or may not be the reasons for those site's GMs to be an L7 instead of an L8.
