Thanks for all the comments and likes guys! I really appreciate it! Check out my new video “what it’s like working at target” too if you’d like (: ua-cam.com/video/oVgKwjEo4Cs/v-deo.html
@@KoomeMwiti Well I uploaded the video after I quit, also I didn't record anything bad that could potentially hurt the business so I don't see the harm in filming what it's like working there.
Thxs for video. Today will be my 3rd day at sortation, but my first day doing any work. Im hella nervous cause they gave a gallon of information in a shot glass. They said no filming is allowed inside warehouse so Im really grateful to find sortation info that i can actually use. Only found like 3 useful ones so far including yours and they really help. Amazon should make videos for AtoZ of people showing the steps of the work their new employees are expected to do.
@@GhaemiTV Should you blur your name card when it appears in the video? Like at the pallet stacking part. Then again I see your face for the channel profile.
Thank you for this video. I’m a DSP I was wondering what the other side was about. By the way, as a DSP I truly enjoy it. Our warehouse is huge also. You gained a new subscriber 😂❤
Worked at STL5 a year ago. Wasn't too bad, and the hours were fine enough--only 4 hours a shift unless a flex up or down (3 or 5 hours). You had the occasional manager who went on a power trip, or the average worker slacking off on the line. Breaks were alright, though they shorten them from 30 to 15 minutes during the middle of my tenure. The pay was okay-ish at $15.50 an hour. Though for the work I was putting in and the amount of time I was there it was a bit insulting to not receive a raise, and have the newer hirers get $18.00 an hour with a 3,000 sign-on bonus. A major pet peeve would be the constant "talks" I received due to my scanning numbers not being over 150 for the duration of the shift. It's quite silly to expect such numbers when you're essentially doing everything on the line: scanning (and stacking) boxers to the pallet, wrapping them, taking them to the stage, putting them on the trucks for outbound, etc. Keep in mind that I was only a scanner as I was not officially trained for these positions, but I got so good at them that I could do everyone's job. Be mindful of the holiday season. Thankful I got out before then because lines can get backed up tremendously bad--much worse than when you have high volume shift. I would say be calm, patient, socialize (always important), and stay on top of the work because it's not an unbearable place to be unless you make it--or be unfortunate enough to work at a bad site.
some of the dumbest associates i have had the pleasure of training and dealing with were from stl5. One of my ops managers personally pulled me aside and said let the TOT take care of them. Like openly racist type shit
@@b_wellyn They’re robotic with the numbers, that’s for sure. But continue to keep such inefficiencies at site. Sorry to hear you got let go, hopefully you found a better position elsewhere. I started in 2021 leaving in October for college.
Today's my second week, take care of your body and don't overwork yourself. You'll be doing orientation but definitely get your comfortable safety shoes
Sort Centers have gotten boring now, back when I worked for Amazon at an SC they still had PIT. Now SCs want everything done by a manual pallet jack and the carts. Very fond memories I have of the forklift and electric pallet jack filled Sort Center days!
I like the real life Tetris part. That seems like it'd be fun. As long as you are working with cool people, you always have a good job. Thanks for the footage.
So thankful I went and got my CDL. Warehouse work is some of the most dreary and depressing work I’ve ever done. It’s so much better being on the other side of the warehouse!
Being in a truck all day sounds awful. Don't you find it depressing you know you'll drive a truck the rest of your life? I don't mean to be a butthole. The stiff back that slowly comes with truck driving just doesn't sound any better.
So many safety violations. xdock just means you are suppose to transload the freight from inbound dock to outbound dock ("cross"ing "dock"s). Interestingly enough, you didn't show how the freight is actually sorted. I'm assuming your facility is AR sortable, which in that case those inbound max-reach lines would feed a conveyance device to ensure a single line of parcels is fed to your shipping sorter which will scan them package and divert it directly to a chute, perhaps to robot arms, or even people to manually load a drive. The gaylord dumpers also likely feed a cross-belt sorter. There is also TOM team and TDR to get the trailers to and from the dock, ship clerk, etc. Nice thing about a xdock or sort center is that you only work the freight you have, so when you are done you can VTO/MTO and go home if your ops doesn't throttle you down to lengthen the sort window.
Thank you for this video. I have worked as a DSP and now I will be at a Sort Center in two weeks. I'm excited to see another aspect of Amazon. I wish a fulfillment center was closer to get an idea of all of the centers.
Thanks for the video. I'm 6 years retired as a union member city letter carrier for the USPS. When I saw Amazon pallets arriving late in my career, I knew it was nearing time for me to retire. Imagine having to deliver daily mail and parcels to 1500 addresses, now with the additional Amazon parcels. Amazon and UPS delivery people don't know how good they have it. However, Amazon is a very well organized operation. Now, it's time for all of the hard working employees to organize!
@@tallan9698 Seems like you might be upset. Perhaps you were hired by the USPS but weren't capable of doing the job so you were let go. I saw a lot of your ilk fall by the wayside.
Sort centers are super chill, I’m at PNE5 and everyone is cool af and easy to make friends. Love working there, I prefer working at outbound tho. I try to stay away from inbound and refuse to get trained for inbound lol
@@mattcool1046 not at the warehouse I work at warehouse, the belt was moving all the time and it would never stop. It always got jammed, that’s why I avoid inbound lol
I just started at working at a SC. And man, most of my coworkers are lazy. Some people just walk around all night and do basically nothing, maybe they will stage some pallets or drag their feet all night doing pallet audits. You would think the managers would care but they don't seem too. The work is pretty easy but it sucks to being working while watching these guys basically do nothing.
yes, are u talking abt associates or the Safety ppl?? lol anyone can be lazy but if u want a job for amazon doing absolutely nothing - the safety team is for you 😆
@@ColePhillips Oh yeah, those safety people don't do anything, they definitely have a cake job. But I work during wrap down so there isn't a lot of scanning to do. So people can get away with not working as TOT isn't a factor. I definitely learned to work at a slower pace since I started, though I can't bring myself to be completely lazy.
@@frozenbanana4842 Safety? not too sure but I do know they are Tier 3 and my guess would be they start around $17 or $18 / hr but everyone pretty much has a different pay bc Amazon gives out pay raises every 6 months / year jus depending on how long you have worked for them
tried working at a amazon warehouse and delivering packages and it was the worst experience of my life lol, warehouse was full of drama and was completely racist with careless bosses and all you get out of delivering packages is long term knee damage and pissing in water bottles for days. not worth the $18 an hour
The people that complain about amazon being hard work should try and work at a production pay warehouse like walmart warehouse or Publix warehouse because that's actually hard work😂
Do it. this is my 3rd week and they are super fun people easy to get along with. been with delivery station 3 weeks. love it you'll be happy and room to grow. finding shifts you do have to be ready to be on top of. at least in the delivery station that's how it is
Do it. I'm in week two of my Sun-Wed, 7AM to 6:30PM (mandatory OT). Gotta be honest. Best warehouse job ever. My facility is brand new, but we use Order Pickers (basically fancy modified fork lifts that we rely on them basically). They go up to like 50/70 ft and are fun (but so slow, especially on turns)! Careful in your VNA's.
My experience was way different lol. It's good at first but few weeks later you'll have almost no days off due to Mandatory schedules. You'll basically have 1 day off due to Holidays! You will work 12 hrs for 6 days straight with just one day off. Not saying it's a bad thing. Just a heads up
My buddy worked for two locations in Baltimore in the last year he said worst job ever they should be shut down. He got yelled at for taking a shit twice in one shift so he flipped out on the people in charge
Yea that would piss me off too. Like, that’s one of my major pet peeves….when ya gotta go, ya gotta go lol. I despise being treated like a toddler….but, sadly, in Amazon you’re just a number, and if you get a manager with a stick up their ass, you’re screwed lol
I work at a SC in georgia and we have similar process but instead of our packages going down a slide we have conveyor belts and people splitting boxes and move them onto the side belts and you pick off the boxes from the belts and scan them onto the floor and we call crosstalk outbound
Your warehouse looks way easier. This was the worst job I’ve ever had in my life. We had to manage 40 pallets per lane. I worked there only two weeks. Got more burned out in 4 hours than 12 hour shifts at other jobs.
Thank you, I don’t know how people are so modest in their comments working in a sort center. After the first few weeks, I felt like we were building Pyramids for the Egyptians😂. They had me in two positions…Unloading the trucks or dealing with non- con. I was so programmed in working in my positions that I would never want to go back on the lines because the new associates didn’t know what they were doing. I held on for a year and gave it up…because it tore my body up. The only good thing I could say is you got paid to work out.
You remind me of myself when I worked at UPS as a "package handler". But, my main job went from getting bags that need to be peeled (replenishing) to jam breaking (ensuring that packages dont bind up while transported on the belt system) as I was REALLY good at it. Though I resigned because they wanted to cut my pay from 18/hr (at the time) to 15/hr. So I asked if I can be a truck driver for them and they said I have to do 1 year of safe driving and I said, "Alright, but when can I at least get into the smaller trucks for local deliveries?" And they told me that I'd have to wait 5-7 months and I said, "In that case, I'm out." And the reason why they said that was because that not only was I low on the senority list as it goes by union's standards. (Fuck you Teamsters Local Union 63) but also that the union (apparently) wanted to cut my pay and not UPS's. My 3 supervisors and my manager wanted to pay me more for the hard work that I put in but they couldn't because of the union agreement. Side note: I hate one of the managers that were above my manager as they told me that I couldn't read my COMPTIA A+ study guide as I was multitasking because they saw it as a "distraction". Translation: They didn't want me to be smarter than them, nor successful. Well Kevin (not my manager's name), I hate to break it to you but I am living my life my own way, and I bust my ass to get a better life, and I am waiting for to call me back, I got halfway through the book in 2 weeks (2500 pages long total) and I made more progress in two weeks than you have in two careers. Not to mention I'm autistic so this disability ain't stopping me except an envious hire-up.. oh wait, that's you Kevin. But, not to worry I can just finish the other half of the book while I'm waiting for a call-back and right before I get hired I'll just take the COMPTIA A+ cert test, pass that, then get hired by said tech corp. Yes, I'm ballsy for saying it because I know I can do it. Stop me now Kevin, or step the fuck out of my way and stop wasting my time and get your priorities straight. Ahem, srry for the tangent there. Anyway man I love your videos and keep up the awesome work. :)
I know what you mean. I would sometimes see pallet standing at an angle as if it was about to fall and they keep stacking it. It's supposed to stand straight 90 degrees up on all direction from the floor. When it falls, a lot of that extra work could be prevented if they did a little rebuild as they go. When I build a pallet, if I see a bigger and heavier box while I already have some smaller ones on, if it's not too much work, I rebuild before thinking of starting another pallet for the same destination.
i worked at AZA5 in phoenix and it was okay for the average joe but it was overall boring, i for one could not put up with that. If you wanna drone for 8 hours then apply
The job title or description should tell you. Or look up the building name on Google and you should see if its a fulfilment warehouse or a sort center.
Moving around brown cubes ordered by white urban housewives clicks/taps. 😆 Very few of these items would be food, shelter, or water. It's all wants and desires. 😆 Mostly plastic, metal, and cardboard inside of various shapes.
Amazon employs 1.5 Million people, tell me if those "white urban housewives" as you call it, Didn't order and be consumers, what would those 1.5 Million people do for a living? Stupid to bring up race when and gender in on it when it's proven more men do buy online, women do buy more in retail.
I prefer to buy food staples in person lol. I just signed up for Prime, so I’m digging the free 1-2 day shipping lol. Most of my purchases are mainly books 📚😉
Thinking about starting one (give a try out) Fri, Sat, Sun 9:00-6:30am. I'm used to warehouse work so being on my feet 8-10 hours isn't an issue. I just don't like the feeling rushed. I'm fast but I quit the delivery station after my first day bc they just expected you to be fast on barely your first day smh lol. I think people's feet bother them bc of the steel toe boots. They definitely mess up your feet eventually from what I've heard. I had that experience at a warehouse in the past where I was working for 12hrs. 12hrs in regular sneakers don't bother me but those steel toe shoes are diff.
they're not okay with it. Loss Prevention knows if you're filming, they usually tell the Operation Manager about the person filming and terminate the employee
How come I didn't see you scan the packages to the pallet? Your sort center is laid out way different than mine. Yall have better equipment with all those chutes. You shouldn't have shown footage of the inbound area. Too many boxes on the floor. I wish I could record in mine but there is always someone walking around especially management.
Many sites use auto-containerization which uses sort-tech to move the item virtually through ssp. Or perhaps he simply edited the video to not show it. I doubt he didn't since they'd have terrible scan compliance and he'd get coached/adapt about it.
We used to scan the packages to the pallet but then the AR installation took over the warehouse, the chutes were installed and we no longer had to scan packages to a pallet, only place them on.
having worked case seal (pallet wrapping and stacking) 12 hours a night and super busy the whole time, I can say, while it's a fun job, and keeps you busy, your back and shit hurts after doing it for years constantly.
@@Alex-Defatte It's more about the amount you have to do in jobs like that rather than the technique you use. If you're constantly busy for long hours your back will hurt no matter what. It's your body's way of telling you you're doing too much, but in that type of job I guess you don't have much choice.
@@severnsea Wrong sir. I was safety manager at a moving company for years and your back will only hurt if you lift wrong. You may be tired all day if you don't eat, sleep, hydrate properly but that's more of a personal problem. Your back has muscles you can certainly build. Technique is everything. You lift wrong one time, your back can be bad for life. Think twice talk less.
@@Alex-Defatte Incorrect, sorry. On that basis you could carry on doing anything forever "as long as you used the correct technique". Think twice, type less.
@severn sea He's not wrong, I was In the Army and then went to warehouses and had been doing more backbreaking work then amazon warehouse for 10 years. Just started at Amazon and the work is a joke it's so easy. The works so easy, and the only people complaining of their back hurting is because they're not lifting correctly or stretching enough, hydration also helps extensively. Sure, the first few weeks, you'll be sore using different muscles, but thats where muscle memory comes in. But anyways I was throwing 50+ pound cases at Dollar general distribution at 1500 cases per hour when the average person is at 600 cases an hour. And yes I can carry on forever because I use correct techniques in my daily life. I never run out of energy at all.
Ha, that "promoted to customer" line was funny the first couple times I heard it when I worked at Amazon. After hearing it a million times, not so much. Promoted myself to customer when I quit. Greatest promotion ever.
Those were the busiest times ive ever worked on a distributing company i think you were really lucky they didnt accept you bcs i can tell you it was hell on earth basically we were working with 3x the amount of employees and there were shifts 7 days a week the lories came full all the way up they basically obligated the ppl from the agencies to work 7 days a week or the get fired bcs there were so many ppl ordering bcs of the lockdown this is on yodel but i have friends that say that amazon was horrible aswell and on this jobs yur manager dont gf about u or anyone they just want their work done on time bcs they pay more for the lori companies if they get late im never working on a distributing warehouse like this EVER AGAIN. There was literaly no safety the boxes were all over the floor if you stooped the belt they would immediatly start it again. Im telling you this is not worth the money i just cant describe everything that ive seen and felt in this types of warehouses.
@@weirdfan88 Yep, I worked basically non stop for the first three months of covid lockdowns on 2x pay + overtime. Made more money in 3 months than I did the whole of 2021.
I didn't see the line sorting or scanning jobs. Those two jobs sucked. Especially the scan/stowing where they harrassed you for productivity. You had to scan so many packages a minute. It was an insane amount.
I think it's a good opportunity honestly for people who can't find jobs elsewhere. I had no job experience whatsoever and I got hired. $15 an hour with no job experience isn't too bad to be honest
Yes it is slave work but like he said it's not bad for someone with no work experience or a gap in work experience... But yes it's slave work at the end of the day at least it's not hard slave work like working at Walmart or Ashleys furniture warehouse those are the worse
Questio pls I have a business with Amazon, now when people buy my items Amazon takes care of the shipping and delivery now I have got few returns that some of my items return damage or sometimes mispacked . Are the workers there really inspect the items visually check and make shure they work like test them I'm taking some losses here and there but I guess that is how it is I guess

Do it. I'm in week two of my Sun-Wed, 7AM to 6:30PM (mandatory OT). Gotta be honest. Best warehouse job ever. My facility is brand new, but we use Order Pickers (basically fancy modified fork lifts that we rely on them basically). They go up to like 50/70 ft and are fun (but so slow, especially on turns)! Careful in your VNA's.
It’s really easy
My experience was way different lol. It's good at first but few weeks later you'll have almost no days off due to Mandatory schedules. You'll basically have 1 day off due to Holidays! You will work 12 hrs for 6 days straight with just one day off. Not saying it's a bad thing. Just a heads up
Ive never heard of this before. Are yall grouped under the delivery station?
My buddy worked for two locations in Baltimore in the last year he said worst job ever they should be shut down. He got yelled at for taking a shit twice in one shift so he flipped out on the people in charge
Yea one thing I hate is when jobs tell you when and when you can't piss or shit haha.
Yea that would piss me off too. Like, that’s one of my major pet peeves….when ya gotta go, ya gotta go lol. I despise being treated like a toddler….but, sadly, in Amazon you’re just a number, and if you get a manager with a stick up their ass, you’re screwed lol
Thanks for the video. I was pretty nervous about taking a job at Amazon but I feel better now. 😌
No problem thanks for the comment!
I work at sortation for 5 yrs at Las Vegas
great🌺
Good explanation
YO, what's up Ali!!!
🤣
What location are you in?
Very easy job😁💕
I love inbound
I work at a SC in georgia and we have similar process but instead of our packages going down a slide we have conveyor belts and people splitting boxes and move them onto the side belts and you pick off the boxes from the belts and scan them onto the floor and we call crosstalk outbound
That's actually how it used to be here as well, but then half of the warehouse went under construction and AR took over.
Kinda reminds me of UPS sortation .. only the packages stayed on a belt even after splitting to different belts
FCs were/are terrible. Sort Centers and Delivery Stations are pretty chill.
Do sort centers usually look empty 🤔
Your warehouse looks way easier. This was the worst job I’ve ever had in my life. We had to manage 40 pallets per lane. I worked there only two weeks. Got more burned out in 4 hours than 12 hour shifts at other jobs.
Thank you, I don’t know how people are so modest in their comments working in a sort center. After the first few weeks, I felt like we were building Pyramids for the Egyptians😂. They had me in two positions…Unloading the trucks or dealing with non- con. I was so programmed in working in my positions that I would never want to go back on the lines because the new associates didn’t know what they were doing. I held on for a year and gave it up…because it tore my body up. The only good thing I could say is you got paid to work out.
@@flassh3030 Yeah but who wants to “work out” for that long lol.
You remind me of myself when I worked at UPS as a "package handler". But, my main job went from getting bags that need to be peeled (replenishing) to jam breaking (ensuring that packages dont bind up while transported on the belt system) as I was REALLY good at it. Though I resigned because they wanted to cut my pay from 18/hr (at the time) to 15/hr. So I asked if I can be a truck driver for them and they said I have to do 1 year of safe driving and I said, "Alright, but when can I at least get into the smaller trucks for local deliveries?" And they told me that I'd have to wait 5-7 months and I said, "In that case, I'm out." And the reason why they said that was because that not only was I low on the senority list as it goes by union's standards. (Fuck you Teamsters Local Union 63) but also that the union (apparently) wanted to cut my pay and not UPS's. My 3 supervisors and my manager wanted to pay me more for the hard work that I put in but they couldn't because of the union agreement.
Side note: I hate one of the managers that were above my manager as they told me that I couldn't read my COMPTIA A+ study guide as I was multitasking because they saw it as a "distraction".
Translation: They didn't want me to be smarter than them, nor successful.
Well Kevin (not my manager's name), I hate to break it to you but I am living my life my own way, and I bust my ass to get a better life, and I am waiting for to call me back, I got halfway through the book in 2 weeks (2500 pages long total) and I made more progress in two weeks than you have in two careers. Not to mention I'm autistic so this disability ain't stopping me except an envious hire-up.. oh wait, that's you Kevin. But, not to worry I can just finish the other half of the book while I'm waiting for a call-back and right before I get hired I'll just take the COMPTIA A+ cert test, pass that, then get hired by said tech corp. Yes, I'm ballsy for saying it because I know I can do it.
Stop me now Kevin, or step the fuck out of my way and stop wasting my time and get your priorities straight.
Ahem, srry for the tangent there. Anyway man I love your videos and keep up the awesome work. :)
haha thanks for the comment and glad you're doing better for yourself now
nice larp
5/7
Keep going bro
Literally nobody cares
Damn my boy u really hate kevin dont u? 😂😂
Most people are trash at building the pallets at my amazon i work at. im constantly rebuilding them. It amazes me how bad alot of them are built.
I know what you mean.
I would sometimes see pallet standing at an angle as if it was about to fall and they keep stacking it. It's supposed to stand straight 90 degrees up on all direction from the floor. When it falls, a lot of that extra work could be prevented if they did a little rebuild as they go.
When I build a pallet, if I see a bigger and heavier box while I already have some smaller ones on, if it's not too much work, I rebuild before thinking of starting another pallet for the same destination.
doesnt seem bad. but them hours are awful.i think starting time is like 1am or 3am ish.
Bro i went to join the business in Amazon fba
Nice 👍
Is there alot of overtime?
where do you work now
i worked at AZA5 in phoenix and it was okay for the average joe but it was overall boring, i for one could not put up with that. If you wanna drone for 8 hours then apply
Do employees have to round in every sections of work or is it done like a new hire????
I'm not sure what your question is?
@@GhaemiTV I don't think he knows
Hi sir
I want amazon supplier pallets
Where could i put my electric bike tomorrow is my first day
Crazy
Is the sortation and delivery station the same thing ?
No
I start on Saturday very helpful can you listen to music?
At my Amazon warehouse they would give you a write-up if they saw you listening to music
The new center I work at allows small music speaker clip on but no headphones or ear buds.
I’m at a delivery center and we got big ass speakers for music but we can’t have earbuds tho.
How do i know which ppace im going to work wether its this or the packing? Mine dosent have a name other then amazon
The job title or description should tell you. Or look up the building name on Google and you should see if its a fulfilment warehouse or a sort center.
@@GhaemiTV awh thanks man I appreciate that
why is small package area called gaylord dumper 🤣🤣does not seem right hahah
it’s gonna be my third day today but haven’t been on the floor yet any advice?
@Insignificant Speck Of Dust na this shit easy
@Insignificant Speck Of Dust na don’t got that problem
Did you quit?
I worked at an IXD. Unless it’s Man Sort or RPND, IXD isn’t bad to work at.
Do they have stow or pick at those sort centers?
No
nope!!
At sort centers there are no pickers or stowers, that's only for FCs.
Looks like the republic warehouse in Missouri
Moving around brown cubes ordered by white urban housewives clicks/taps. 😆 Very few of these items would be food, shelter, or water. It's all wants and desires. 😆 Mostly plastic, metal, and cardboard inside of various shapes.
Oversimplify much? Why bring race into an inherently non racial process? Are you suggesting that non white people can't afford to order Amazon?
Amazon employs 1.5 Million people, tell me if those "white urban housewives" as you call it, Didn't order and be consumers, what would those 1.5 Million people do for a living? Stupid to bring up race when and gender in on it when it's proven more men do buy online, women do buy more in retail.
I prefer to buy food staples in person lol. I just signed up for Prime, so I’m digging the free 1-2 day shipping lol. Most of my purchases are mainly books 📚😉
Nice I work at sort in NEW JERSEY, the job is easy but the problem is ur on ur feet the ENTIRE time dude. Prolly gonna quit lol or try to get fired
oooouuuu jersey 👀
The shift is only 4 hours....
Thinking about starting one (give a try out) Fri, Sat, Sun 9:00-6:30am. I'm used to warehouse work so being on my feet 8-10 hours isn't an issue. I just don't like the feeling rushed. I'm fast but I quit the delivery station after my first day bc they just expected you to be fast on barely your first day smh lol. I think people's feet bother them bc of the steel toe boots. They definitely mess up your feet eventually from what I've heard. I had that experience at a warehouse in the past where I was working for 12hrs. 12hrs in regular sneakers don't bother me but those steel toe shoes are diff.
Pallets is the shit u send to the Post office -Carrier here
Very very cool job to be working there
I’m subscribed to your channel
Thanks Kevin means a lot!
Is that warehouse climate controlled?. I worked at DDA3 or UTX7 now, it wasnt climate control it got really hot during the summer here in Texas,
What Amazon is I work foe ABM at sat1 in Schertz tx ans Amazon dose Sux and I will say Amazonions are not so bright
Amazon has a Big Center distribution (Warehouse) what a Big company AMAZON
I've always wondered what Amazon says about filming. There's a lot of it -- must be ok but...??
they're not okay with it. Loss Prevention knows if you're filming, they usually tell the Operation Manager about the person filming and terminate the employee
How come I didn't see you scan the packages to the pallet? Your sort center is laid out way different than mine. Yall have better equipment with all those chutes. You shouldn't have shown footage of the inbound area. Too many boxes on the floor. I wish I could record in mine but there is always someone walking around especially management.
Many sites use auto-containerization which uses sort-tech to move the item virtually through ssp. Or perhaps he simply edited the video to not show it. I doubt he didn't since they'd have terrible scan compliance and he'd get coached/adapt about it.
We used to scan the packages to the pallet but then the AR installation took over the warehouse, the chutes were installed and we no longer had to scan packages to a pallet, only place them on.
@@GhaemiTV oh wow that's pretty cool. we only use pallets for the gaylords or fulfillment returns. other than that we use the go carts mainly.
@@JustaN00bi3 my facility is the same as his. We have AR robots upstairs which drop the packages down through the chutes.
They change the name of the Gaylords to shuttles now.
Hmm I wonder why
Cause politics
Really when did they do that?
Not sure my location is new and just opened in October. Was told that since hired.
Wow that is stupid but i havent heard nothing about it from former AAs ima have to ask now.
having worked case seal (pallet wrapping and stacking) 12 hours a night and super busy the whole time, I can say, while it's a fun job, and keeps you busy, your back and shit hurts after doing it for years constantly.
If you lift properly with your knees, your back should NEVER hurt. I say this as a professional mover for years and years.
@@Alex-Defatte It's more about the amount you have to do in jobs like that rather than the technique you use. If you're constantly busy for long hours your back will hurt no matter what. It's your body's way of telling you you're doing too much, but in that type of job I guess you don't have much choice.
@@severnsea Wrong sir. I was safety manager at a moving company for years and your back will only hurt if you lift wrong. You may be tired all day if you don't eat, sleep, hydrate properly but that's more of a personal problem. Your back has muscles you can certainly build. Technique is everything. You lift wrong one time, your back can be bad for life. Think twice talk less.
@@Alex-Defatte Incorrect, sorry. On that basis you could carry on doing anything forever "as long as you used the correct technique". Think twice, type less.
@severn sea He's not wrong, I was In the Army and then went to warehouses and had been doing more backbreaking work then amazon warehouse for 10 years. Just started at Amazon and the work is a joke it's so easy.
The works so easy, and the only people complaining of their back hurting is because they're not lifting correctly or stretching enough, hydration also helps extensively.
Sure, the first few weeks, you'll be sore using different muscles, but thats where muscle memory comes in.
But anyways I was throwing 50+ pound cases at Dollar general distribution at 1500 cases per hour when the average person is at 600 cases an hour.
And yes I can carry on forever because I use correct techniques in my daily life. I never run out of energy at all.
What a great way to get promoted to customer, filming in an Amazon warehouse.
Don’t work there anymore (;
Ha, that "promoted to customer" line was funny the first couple times I heard it when I worked at Amazon. After hearing it a million times, not so much. Promoted myself to customer when I quit. Greatest promotion ever.
he's already a customer
@@GhaemiTV are they contacting you to remove this video? I heard they're strict like that
@@garybeltrand5802 is watching this video bc deep down he misses Amazon.
You’re very lucky, I applied during the whole 2020 for all available positions in Amazon and never get an answer…
Those were the busiest times ive ever worked on a distributing company i think you were really lucky they didnt accept you bcs i can tell you it was hell on earth basically we were working with 3x the amount of employees and there were shifts 7 days a week the lories came full all the way up they basically obligated the ppl from the agencies to work 7 days a week or the get fired bcs there were so many ppl ordering bcs of the lockdown this is on yodel but i have friends that say that amazon was horrible aswell and on this jobs yur manager dont gf about u or anyone they just want their work done on time bcs they pay more for the lori companies if they get late im never working on a distributing warehouse like this EVER AGAIN. There was literaly no safety the boxes were all over the floor if you stooped the belt they would immediatly start it again. Im telling you this is not worth the money i just cant describe everything that ive seen and felt in this types of warehouses.
@@getoutaway8139 That's some great easy OT money
@@weirdfan88 Yep, I worked basically non stop for the first three months of covid lockdowns on 2x pay + overtime. Made more money in 3 months than I did the whole of 2021.
@@getoutaway8139 still better than nursing in the height of COVID.
Does your Operations Managers supply you guys with your own piss bottle or do you have to bring those yourself?
You couldn't pee, period :)
Amazon would be easy if unions were a thing, and NO MORE GROUP STOPS
Unions suck, and do NOT always guarantee higher pay OR better working conditions- that’s a fact.
Does anyone know who is responsible for choosing our roaster?
I didn't see the line sorting or scanning jobs. Those two jobs sucked. Especially the scan/stowing where they harrassed you for productivity. You had to scan so many packages a minute. It was an insane amount.
A nightmare for low paid people
I think it's a good opportunity honestly for people who can't find jobs elsewhere. I had no job experience whatsoever and I got hired. $15 an hour with no job experience isn't too bad to be honest
@@GhaemiTV no it’s slave labor
@@GhaemiTV nah bruh maybe sort centers….but FC’s they slave you for sure
Yes it is slave work but like he said it's not bad for someone with no work experience or a gap in work experience... But yes it's slave work at the end of the day at least it's not hard slave work like working at Walmart or Ashleys furniture warehouse those are the worse
at 4:39 you can see his id very clear with his name. and filming with a hidden camera...
Why my parcel too so long to arrive?
@Insignificant Speck Of Dust bloody hell! It's fragile.
Questio pls I have a business with Amazon, now when people buy my items Amazon takes care of the shipping and delivery now I have got few returns that some of my items return damage or sometimes mispacked . Are the workers there really inspect the items visually check and make shure they work like test them
I'm taking some losses here and there but I guess that is how it is I guess
This makes me sad since I got laid off last week from Amazon.
Sorry to hear that, just look at it as a learning experience and grow!
I got too like 3 months ago lol.... sorry bud
