I really really really appreciate all your videos. Thank you for making them. And regardless of what that first guy commented and said you do not sound dead inside you sound like a very easy-going laid-back sort of fella and I get a very good vibe from you and I appreciate what you've done here.
thanks a lot! i hope the content was helpful.
@@HaiandTerrie in fact it was. You set my mind right at ease as before I watched your videos I was pretty nervous but now not so much and I want to thank you again for that. I did my application last week and today I go to my appointment to get my name badge I guess and whatever else they do while I'm there. Starting next week I hope. I watched many Amazon videos from different UA-camrs and yours were by far the best.
@@jonhambrick5552 truly appreciate it. share your first day experiences with us in the comments once you start. have a great first week!
@@HaiandTerrie I will and thank you
@@HaiandTerrie had a pretty good first day. Spent the whole day packing which is what I'm doing again today on my second day. It's very monotonous.
My tips to staying alive at Amazon, learn the rules how much allowable time off task per dept, don’t ever exceed that and you’ll avoid write ups. If you’re going to sneak headphones be smart about it and don’t let them be visible. Never be seen on your phone even tho phones are now allowed we aren’t supposed to be using them when working. You can clock out 5 mins early or late for beginning and end of shifts (check your building as to every building may have their own regulations), lunch has a 3 minute grace period. Work consistent rather than fast (you’re there for 10 hours a day in most locations) drink water, use the restroom when you need to a lot of people are afraid to go to the bathroom because of how strict some of the managers are but that’s in your allowable tot if they give you a problem talk to hr. Also if the dept gives you too much responsibility or stress after 30 days with no write up you can transfer to a dept you may find easier to work with. Transfers are important to remember im case things in any role get to tough you can transfer out and still keep your pay starting over in a new dept and new role.
Hope this helps anyone in 2022
I’ve been at my fulfillment center 3 years in august.
Great video was trying to explain what rebinning was to my fiancé
Extremely helpful feedback! Thank you
I have a prehire appointment and i am pretty scared because i have heard a lot of bad things about amazon but i am excited to try it out. Thanks for not being negative gives me hope that ill like the job.
@Awyatt I actually got everything lined up and I start in two weeks. My only real worry is standing for 10 hours straight because I’ve been doing Door dash for so long. After doing some looking online i am hopeful that its not nearly as bad as some make it seem. Thanks for more encouraging words! I am more excited now.
@@morganfranklin6221 Any updates so far?
@@alonzogonzalez4272 he dead.
Thank you. Your job makes thousands of people happy.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. You are helping out more people than you realize. You definitely deserve another subscriber. Count me in.
I appreciate that!
Great video . Love your humble spirit !
I got my badge and watch videos in a classroom setting yesterday. They changed my department from stowing to pack. We’re gonna learn to pack today I’m excited thanks for the vids, I hope to have a leg up on my peers. Wish me luck!
packing is so much better than stowing, in my opinion. have a great one!
What do outbound pack single?
Thanks a lot for being an exceptional hard worker! lots of people are actually happy with their shipping just because of guys like you, God Bless You and your Family!
YW 😃
Thank you! I didn’t know what to expect, i have a prehire appointment coming up and i really wanna do well. Thank you for the tips and being so thorough.
i'm sure you'll get the job! you're so welcome! thanks for watching and chatting with us!
thank you !you explain so well
Glad you take pride in your work and made a video. Stay positive and know by doing what you do you help your fellow man.
i have a new series coming up about side hustles and gigs to make money. i'm glad you found it helpful. thanks for watching.
You are very humble. God bless you, and your family
Thank you 🙏. I hope the information was helpful.
Great job!!👍🏻
I have watched every video that you have made about Amazon job! I’m starting next week, and I’m very nervous that I’m will not be able to do it, and I will be in graveyard moreee difficult, but like you said, having a job is a blessing no matter what, so I’m going to give a try! THANKS A LOOOOT:)
If you’re in outbound (AFE) graveyard is easier than the day shift. Managers were more chill and less demanding about rates. Sometime I was just standing around waiting for work. Thanks for watching and I hope it works out for you.
how was it
Girl update us.
@@HaiandTerrie hiii, an update I have 1 month working here I’m on MP, outbound, it’s really chill sometimes you only stand up waiting for boxes to come on the conveyor 😂 and all that, it’s not bad at all actually, easy money:)
@@dayanafunes5908 thanks for the update! i worked at night a few times. It's super chill, not as much work as the day shift. you're right, there's a lot of waiting around, at least for the nights that i was working.
Wow thank you for this video! I start on the fourth and im glad that I have a preview of what to expect
Your very welcome.
Excellent advice. Thank you so much!
i'm glad you found it helpful! there are more amazon videos under the Amazon Playlist on our channel.
It is helpful to see how other companies pick. I have done some picking and watching the conveyor belt at the warehouses like Amazon. I worked at Ingram. Any job is a blessing
Thanks for sharing!
Great Information! Have a blessed day!
Thank you so much I was worried so much about how I would know what I would be doing and didn’t even know that I could possibly switch to doing something else during my shift
Their is always training for new employees
Thanking God for your blessings is how your going to make it my man ,keep up the good work , I liked your. Videos out of all the Amazon videos I've watched
thanks! we hope it was helpful
Amazing video, thanks for sharing!
i hope it was helpful!
i start there soon. thanks for doing this video. calmed my nerves a bit
You got this!
Hey man,
I really appreciate the info you provide. This job sounds so perfect for me.
awesmome, yeah you should try to apply. they're hiring. they're always hiring for the most part, but more so now before the holidays. i got an email saying to come back and i will get a $3000 hiring bonus and shifts up to $22/hr!
@@HaiandTerrie I did to it’s bullshit.
@@SoFilthy ? I don't know what shift or job you have. However for me my experience is great.
Started at AUS2 which opened 1 month ago. I get $18.70 an hour working Thr Fri Sat from 6:30 pm to 7:00am. Path is count which leads to Quality Assurance. However I applied and currently receiving training on being Amnesty - translation "glorified Janitor cleaning up items on the floor where the robots are".
I don't know why some people complain on my shift. Minimum wage is $7.50 here and the people who complain usually do the dumb stuff to get fired in a job that teaches on how not to get fired...
@@SoFilthy 60 hour work weeks is $5,200 a month. Job is so easy a monkey with a type writer could do it.
For me another 2 years and I'm retired. My house is payed off and I'm using this job to have qualify income to get loans for Rental properties. Then I can use my post 9-11 GI bill benefits to go to college for free and collect $20k a year tax free money for my house for 4 years. By the time I retire and finish school I'll be 30 years old.
Thanks for the info!!! Today's my first day and your videos have prepared me well ☺
Good luck today!
I'm Deaf Amazonian and have been working at Amazon for four months and I acquired work areas that are Pack, Rebin, and Induct.
Pack was my first for four months and Induct and Rebin was my only most recent, two days ago until today. That was nice but intense non-stop work.
Pack side is all about balanced including speed, strength, and strategy.
For Induct and Rebin sides, depending on the process, so basically it's all about high speed and accuracy. We can say it's fairly easy work but gonna be careful when it comes to Induct and Rebin, don't make any mistakes. Too fast, more errors.
Good video 👍
single induct is difficult (1 person working 2 conveyer lines). rebin is difficult. double induct (one person per conveyer line) is extremely easy to the point of boredom. i think rebin you can easily get hurt. too much spinning and turning
@@HaiandTerrie Not if you have good endurance and toughness as Rebinner. Also, Pivot is a key to avoid much burden on legs and feet.
About Induct, agreed very boredom but extremely easy, still keep accuracy at good level.
@@HaiandTerrie the only way to avoid the dizziness on Rebin, is to pivot towards the correct chute, and read the console for the chute number. Only then, you'll be able to locate it much faster, and improve rate! Hope this helps :3

God bless you Brother X
Good video I have a better idea of what to expect. God bless you and your family.
Speed is required for results!
Thanks for sharing
I thought it was by how many boxes and envelopes you did in an hour. Thanks for talking about this I really appreciate it.
This seems to depend on your specific center.
Why have I spent three hours watching videos about Amazon warehouses when I have zero intention of ever working in one?! 😂
Same here 😂
Sssaaaame🤣
Good don’t. Trust me you’ll hate it I don’t see why people enjoy working for them minus from pay.
The only few good thing about it is the Pay, and UPT and PTO.
I did Amazon for 8 months hated it but the management I had and the people I worked with made it very Bearable… I did singles pack and not the thing that he’s doing. Singles pack is similar to that but we don’t got the walls and shit, or rebin or induct. We have “Packing, Water spidering, and Tote runners, and Smart Pack (Apart of Singles pack.)” singles pack is a fun department but I would not recommend working for Amazon.
Escapism
can you kindly kindly make a video about amazon / whole foods shopper. your videos are most most helpful
i've never worked as a whole foods shopper. my wife has worked in the sortation centers. maybe we'll have a video soon about Amazon Sortation centers. stay tuned!
Your a good man!! Hope all is good with you and family ? 😁
Thank you sir. We’re doing better than we deserve.
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
thank you for this informative video.
thanks for watching. let me know if i can be of any help
Thanks for the information.
Our pleasure!
you talk like you are dead inside.... lol thanks for the tips! i start in 2 weeks. thurs-sun 6;30pm-5;00am
Hahaha awesome man. Good luck on everything.
@Fabio Ferrari in Tracy CA. It's a huge new building robots everywhere lol
@Fabio Ferrari you must be in australia
@Fabio Ferrari here in australia we only do 8hrs 36 dollars an hour. How much an hour in italy?
well yea he works in afe during quarantine lmao, at least during peak 2019 we could make friends
Still greatfull eventhough its not the best job .. Godbless to you and your family!
This is very correct. Never ever over work yourself because you will wear yourself out.
I always like to know how many items they want me to pack or pick or stow or process per hour. I would take the expected item rate and divide it by 60 min.
For example, expected item rate is 200/60= 3.3 items per min. Meaning each min, you're expected to do 3.3 items. That is very doable and easy.
Great tips! Do you work in AFE?
@@HaiandTerrie I have worked both direct and indirect roles in all departments from inbound, outbound, crazy CAP, Reverse Logistic, to ICQAs mess.
what are the best jobs in the warehouse?
@@HaiandTerrie depends on what your goals are with Amazon like, do you want to move up, do you want to work comfortably without having to deal with crazy rates, do you want to be in indirect or direct, do you want overtime
I can tell you’re a wonderful person. Keep it up!
Very interesting.
I start in less than 48 hrs, I’m 1:20am-11:50😬 I’m both excited and not at all looking forward to this but I’m broke right now. I don’t plan on staying at all. A month at the most.
i understand. that was my thinking as well. i didn't want to stay too long. stepping stones.
Can you explain the system with the lights in detail? How do you know which light is for you and which light is for your colleague?
For packing, there are 3 different led colors. Red, blue, magenta. For rebin, your colleagues are nowhere near you so there won’t be any mixup. I’ll make a video on this soon
Like the job already
I work in an amazon in the UK
I've been their for about 6 days now I've been seeing mixed reviews in working in a amazon however in our centre we have music playing while we're packing which is nice the managers were lovely too and all staff have been lovely and very kind and helpful I can agree with the repetitiveness but its an alright job
so what was the negative part of the job?
@@HaiandTerrie having to adjust to the hours im 18 and this is my first full time job part time job I worked 5 hours which was okay
But this job I work 11:30-7:40 so I was exhausted still am but getting used to it now
i understand
Hi, I applied here in UK but my English is not very good do you think I can? Thanks!
@@noemicabral4985 of course! In my warehouse im in theirs many no English speakers or people from different countries everyone is welcome no matter where you come from they also have different languages to choose from on some of the machines so don't worry !
Tashi Delek and Namaste 🙏 everyone ! Thank you 🙏 so much for the tips my fren and god bless your beautiful family . Subscribed and liked your channel.
Next available station? Good way to start a fight.
Don't go too fast on pack line? Get transferred to another department.
The "POWER ZONE" gets a bunch of smaller items that are easy to move, granted the ends of the walls may get huge orders at certain times of the year.
His breaks are different from from other buildings. Some are 2 15 minutes in-between lunch and EOS.
I do feel his plight about rebinning, its tough on the knees.
All-in-all not a bad job; be diligent, be mindful, and pay attention to what your doing.
Thanks brother 🙏
Any time
Out of curiosity how do you which one's your suppose to pack? Like does it give you list saying for a specific box or package it has to be makeup, video game or how do you know?
Great question. The monitor will tell you what items and how many and where the items are located. All you have to do is turn around and there will be an LED light that tells you where the items are. I have some other videos that show this but I’ll make a separate video on this soon.
Thanks for the info I’m planning to move to Lakeland and plan to apply in Amazon at Lakeland. Florida . I’ve been working at retailing business for 19 and I want to change career .
Glad it was helpful!
the first 3 seconds of this video & your eyes tell me enough. thanks
😵💫
The least they can freaking do is let people listen to some music.
@Pohjois Disaster Moon what FC do you work at? the policy across all amazon sites does not allow headphones in the facility for product security
@Pohjois Disaster Moon not at my building, so again I ask what facility do you work at?
@Pohjois Disaster Moon and what is learning curve 5?how long is that
@Pohjois Disaster Moon ill make an appointment with hr and ask about it when I go back
@Pohjois Disaster Moon ok, the notice at my breakrooms is that wireless headphones are nolonger allowed in the facility, and wired headphones are allowed in break rooms only
I can do pack, induct and rebin, and stow, but I work overnight
Awesome, yes doing multiple jobs can help speed up the time.
Just watching this before my pre-appointment 😂
being prepared
The area you work isn’t the one I work in you must be working afe2. I work afe1 but the stations I work in the bins are not as neat and clean, the rebin station I work one side and the middle and the pack station same as the rebin chutes. Cables exposed out not covered, the buttons don’t light up at some of the walls and the induct station there is always one person scanning and checking for damages, overages and if it missing a barcode or unscannable
i run into problems like bad tape dispenser, SP00 dispenser, bad scanners, unresponsive monitors. they do come up every so often.
@@HaiandTerrie I mostly deal with that every time I start my shift and they don’t do the quarterly maintenance like they did before the COVID and when we put it on the VOA board they don’t do a thing they make excuses
I been working in afe 2 for a month now packing I’ll start rebin training soon but now I’m scared because it is a lot of back and forth more than you have to move packing at a station but I get tired of packing my whole shift lol. I’m on graveyard so time seems to go by so slow 😩🙄
graveyard is slower. rebin to me was difficult as you're constantly turning/moving for 3 hours or more. induct is super easy when it's double induct. and it's easier to have headphones when you're inducting. you could ask them to put your at a preferred job, many times they honor it.
Nobody likes rebin. Here’s my tip how they give you less times work in Rebin:
Purposely hide the items or switch it to another chute (yes, making problems) so they won’t let you stay there for too long.
They might need to pack 300uph then you make 30 hidden items. If you make less than 10%, they won’t bother to change.
And if they intend to put you in Rebin, go as slow as you can, then tell ‘em you are getting dizzy because of constantly turning too much
OR it’s time for you to be trained in Problem Solving where many weak-work ethic won’t come out and do Rebin
If you are sweat in Rebin, tries to make the rate, Problem Solvers won’t do shit, they just stand behind the screen and chit chat bullshit. Have them some jobs.
I went in for my new hire appointment, if all goes well I will be starting next Friday @ Delivery Station
thats great, hope you get it and have a good first day.
Thanks for your information today my first day l really nerves what l will doing is there cause l hear really hard l fear l can't pass and they say go home 😍
Don’t doubt yourself. Remember Amazon wants to make it extremely easy for you so that you can go fast. I think boredom And not being acknowledged for your hard work was more important to me than my rates.
You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to pack at Amazon last year lgb3 in afe 1 my back would hurt so much cause the table is so low and I was tall I got sort trained then I eventually got trained for slam loved it then I quit in October Amazon it was a good job most people talk shit about Amazon my managers were cool and good at what they do
Maybe the ones who talk shit about amazon, have had really bad experiences there? Like myself for instance?
@@drummonkeystuffuk1875 I had a bad experience too man most of the learning ambassadors in my department were shit they didn’t know shit when they were training they fucking leave you also the process assistant just stared at their stupid laptops
Your videos have been very informative in just got my interview ,I worked at ups but idk if I can do this wish me luck
there was no interview when i applied. it's better than UPS. if you're in the amazon fulfillment centers there is air condition/heat. the work is extremely easy, just boring.
Nice video.
150 to 200!?! Where's this fulfillment center at because BFI4 in Washington State be having us do a 280 rate in AFE on pack side. Been at BFI4 for 6 years. Still good information for new people. My favorite spot is inducting. 👍
double inducting is crazy easy lol. single induct is too much (1 person 2 stations)
Your videos are so concise...easy to follow and very informative. This should be part of the Amazon h.r. training! And btw i just farted
thanks for the kind words.
The position you have...I'd have enough to do to keep my mental health in good spirits. I tried working as a sander and there just isn't enough for me to focus on all at once.
its mostly mental at amazon.
@@HaiandTerrie Do you know if hired as a driver for a DSP, could I also work p/t at the warehouse? or vice versa? trying to afford dental implants
@@excxmoody that i'm not sure. i would call the HR line and check
thank you for this content! what’s the name of the gloves you’re using?
Is the free gloves Amazon provides. Watch my other Amazon videos to see all of the things Amazon provides on your first day
Most importantly you thanked the good lord ❤️
2:28- “Lunch is only thirty minutes.” Lmao. I only get twenty. Last job was fifteen.
Whats!? My lunch was only 10 minutes
I feel like amazon took this man's joy.
Hahaha. It’s not fun that’s for sure but it pays the bills!
@@HaiandTerrie I'm sure it's nothing but smiles on payday ,🤑
@@HaiandTerrie how much does Amazon pay for this job? Also what is this job position called?
@@withindistruction54 area is called AFE also known as Outbound. minimum pay is $15/hr but some shifts have bonus. example overnight may pay you $17.5+. weekends only may pay $18.5, etc.
@@HaiandTerrie yeah my area only says picker packer couldn’t find any jobs listed as outbound.
how much longer do you think you can do this ? i luv your videos
i create them when an idea comes up. thank you!
@@HaiandTerrie Evading the question i see
Thank you so much for your very informative videos. I’ve been trying to get a job with Amazon for weeks now and I finally got an appointment to come in to finish filling out my I-9 forms and take the drug test. But I just realized I applied for a Seasonal Full/Reduced position, how temporary is this? because I’m looking to stay there for 6 months or as long as I can
Honestly no one is a temp. They pretty much keep everyone because of high turnover rate. Also if your rate is good you will get a message to be converted from white badge to regular employee blue badge. My trainer was hired as a temp during Christmas last year. He’s now a regular employee and training all the new hires.
Don’t get points be early on time , try to make rates . Don’t sit down just work once you , clock in get to your station fast before 10 minutes and scan! Just scan! Make sure to scan . Because they keep track of what was the last item you scanned .
amazon tracks everything. what you scan, how fast you scan or pack, if you're not scanning something they see it as "time off task" and you can get fired for time off task aka TOT. if you're not scanning they're assuming you're not working.
@@HaiandTerrie yes Amazon does keep track . If you get tot, it will be removed in 30 days .
@@lilianav4757 Hey..Neel from India.
Nice to meet you 🤗
Great video ! U Nailed everything Ima lefty and I feel I have disadvantage in packing. Could this be true.
i don't feel like it matters if you're right hand or left when packing. SP00 machine and tape machine can be moved. boxes are right in front. repetition will create muscle memory. and there will be plenty of repetition lol
It looks like the warehouse I’m looking at caps at 32 hours a week. Is it common to just request more shifts to make the full 40 is that only during peak seasons?
Only during peak season and special holidays like prime day
I suppose to start on the 16th but, I’m nervous because my background isn’t clean...I don’t have a felony or anything. Just a dismissed battery.
No worries u get the job. Hey tho
My facility rehired someone that was fired for beating off at his station for more than a half-hour. He got dragged out with Peter still in hand by security. Your good girl, your hired!
@@lindseycampbell3023 that's wild. is he abnormal or behave strangely?
Thank you for this video you did great. The people hating probably hate the word Jesus and hate their own lives that’s why they are picking you apart. Thank you for glorifying our Lord and savior Jesus Christ keep up the videos. I start work soon and because of your video I feel more comfortable walking in on my first day.
i hope you have a great first day. thank you! Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.
I just finished my first week doing exactly what you’re doing. I love it! Have a question while I was working on my fourth night a message popped up on my screen saying congratulations you won a gift ect. I was so busy I just pressed continue 😂 do you know or have you ever received that??
i have had messages pop up, just not that particular message. when messages pop up its because the managers sent it to you. you could go up to them and ask about it. maybe you were the top performer.
@@HaiandTerrie really? Lol 😂 I will ask I guess!
I got one too when I was about 1 week in
Rebin is my favorite position because I’m fast I’m usually in first place with rates 700-900
any tips?
No matter you work at the headquarters or the warehouses, that's all the Blessings. Be grateful all the time.
Yes!
That’s bullshit. I work at Walmart after spending a year at Amazon warehouse.
Walmart gives you cross-training in everything and rotate you as well. Amazon holds you at a certain job (like this dude barely rebins) until you quit or become weak and then they will fire you base on the quotes/rate.
Amazon is a trash place to work.
Broo we work in the same building!!
I keep coming back to this video because I’m thinking of applying. Random question..Are you able to request a certain job for the day? For example if you prefer to pack, can you tell them that? Or do they always choose for you?
you can request, many times i tell them i prefer to induct or pack and they honor it. this is if you get hired in an area called AFE. i have no idea what the acronym stands for lol. the warehouse itself has many jobs.
What type of Amazon facility do you work in a fulfillment center, sort center, warehouse???
Warehouse
That's a FC. AFE gets a lot of most of your small stuff, 50 ft garden hoes, to stickers. Dvds to 24 pack of your monster energy.
Okay, as an Amazonian I feel like I should share my opinions on this video. For context, I work at a delivery station, not one of the main warehouses. Obviously, there's going to be a lot of differences between our experiences and you should take that into consideration. That being said, here are my main thoughts on the video.
First up, he wakes up far earlier than myself and my co-workers. I get up at 11:00 PM, because the shift starts at 1:20 AM. We are all up before the sun, in fact it only comes out over halfway through our shift. If you don't like the night shift the delivery stations may not be for you. His shift starts at 7:45 AM, and ends at 6:15 PM. Mine begins at 1:20 AM and ends at 11:50 PM. That's a 10 and a half hour shift. The extra 30 minutes is for lunch. Thankfully, I only work 4 days a week instead of five. Occasionally they will give us MET (Mandatory Extra Time) and we will work 5, or even 6 full shifts a week. We do not get a choice in this. We can only change our schedule by talking to HR, and only if we have a valid reason to change our work schedules.
He mentions that he doesn't like doing rebin because it requires lots of walking back and forth. At my station, all but 3 jobs require constant walking. The ones that don't require constant lifting. You're constantly exercising at my station the whole time you're there. Make no mistake, Amazon is a VERY physical job. You will be sore, tired, and beat up at the end of the week. The job is simple, but it is not easy. It's very fast paced and exerting for almost every position. Just as well, it is also incredibly boring. Imagine grabbing a box, moving it or putting it on a belt, and repeating those few tasks for an entire day. Once you get good enough at the job where you don't need to exert all your brain power on each task, you will find that you have plenty of time to think.
You will almost always feel undervalued and unappreciated at ANY Amazon position. Unless you create a personal bond with the managers, they will only see you as a took for the job, one that can get a certain set of numbers for their warehouse. The company itself does not give a single shit about you - you are just a number in their system. I've never had a manager that didn't know my name, but in all fairness the delivery stations are much smaller and employ less people than the others. This sounds like it could absolutely be true for the larger warehouses. I will say, a lot of people (myself included, unfortunately) don't bother to learn new people's names until they've stayed for a week or two due to our high turnover rate.
The pay can be good or bad depending on where you live and your circumstances. I make $15.80/HR with an additional $2.00 shift differential. Nearly $18 is great for me, an average high school graduate still pushing through college. At McDonalds, I made less than $11/HR. For my coworker with a Master's degree in engineering working here while looking for a job, and single parents with multiple kids, it's not so great. It is what you can make out of it.
Is it worth working here? I can't recommend doing it for more than a year. For the love of god, don't stay that long. Don't get caught in the loop. And if you do, make sure to unionize.
really great input!
Been here 3 years in august 😢
You're stronger than me, I quit in January.
It’s tough can’t blame anyone for quitting
he is drained look at him lol props for working there man looks easy
Do you work at a sortable robotics FC? If so, are there 4 floors? Which floors are the pickers and stowers on?
There are robotics and multiple floors in my warehouse. I’ve seen pickers on the first floor but the majority of them are on the second floor. Your warehouse may be different.
My first week at Amazon I would eat as fast as possible so I could take a nap the rest of my break
eat and nap within a 30 min break?

As for the job schedule is that locked or can you adjust it. For example you need two days off for an important family event can you switch the days or what??
your schedule is locked. you can request days off, it's in the Amazon A to Z app. you can't go up to your manager and ask them to help. the managers only manage the process, not the people. amazon is not a people company. you are employee 2987364892927 and if you need any help it's all inside that Amazon A to Z app. there is an HR area in the building with real human HR people if the app can not help.
That first box needs more dunnage please.
I did graveyard at UPS, Loading trucks back to back to back was not for me. I can survive at Amazon, shift starts at 5:15am, my UPS shift was 3am to 9am...

I been working at Amazon for 2 days. Not gona lie this job make me feel waste of my life. Feeling like robot 🤖 I don’t know when will I quite. Thanks for your video.
I understand
If you plan to work at Warehouse, go Walmart where they will train you drive the forklift which is helpful for your resume rather than being an Amazonian (aka: organic robot without rights and no work-life balance)
I have a question. When you apply on the website, it goes on and on about how they have flexible work hours and they can work with you to accommodate your schedule. But when you look at the open jobs, the hours are very specific. Do they really work with your schedule like they advertise?
the reason why you're only seeing specific hours is because the flexible hours are not available. from my experience the "flexible" hours are for Whole Foods only. it may not say "Whole Foods" on there, but if you look up the address it's a whole foods store. hope that helps
Yoo this looks a lot like HOU2 Afe 2? Where are you located?
Hey who are the people with laptop running everywhere and scanning people. I think they are called site managers and how did they get the job.
they are typically Area managers, they wear the neon traffic vest that says "operations" on the back. they just stare at bar graphs all day. i see them walking while staring at their laptops. they scan people badges when it's slow. basically when it's slow, if you get your badge scan it means that you're excused for doing nothing. if you don't get your badge scan they think you're not working.
Very informative! At which step do the shipping labels get applied?
i believe the label is put on by a machine. we pack the items, put lithium labels on, put bar codes on and set it on a conveyer belt.
@@HaiandTerrie I see!
@@HaiandTerrie it'll be interesting to see where they will place me as a new hire. I don't mind repetitiveness hopefully not very labor intensive.
I start next Friday. So annoyed we can’t listen to music… lol
awesome, i hope it works out!
Hi I have a question about the job application online, is it normal that they ask for your ssn for background check? I couldn’t get through with my application without filling in my ssn.
