I kind of did the same thing! I worked seasonal peak one year, got let go, then came back the next year & got converted to blue badge (at different locations tho). Thanks for sharing 👍
I love working for Amazon the money is great, just gotta use some brains. Some time I get off work feeling great and energetic after working a 10 hr shift gotta give God that’s for that forreal
I don’t know if it’s good to work in the sorting facility at FedEx, but I really thought working full time as a customer service associate at FedEx was great. I got a promotion after a year and the pay was fine. Also the express delivery people always seemed very happy and their pay was good. However, the ground delivery driver said he didn’t like his route and the pay was not good enough for ground routes. Lift with your knees not your back! 😄
I love that about amazon not have talk about if I want to leave go the app and if you quit u can go back no bs no interview either . Lots of jobs can learn from that
I'm working at an Amazon delivery station right now, but considering applying to Fedex, cause Amazon doesn't offer us part time shifts, and I'd like to do two part time jobs over one full time. Working 6 hours at Amazon loading all this crap, then the last 4 hours dragging carts around to load them up for delivery drivers just feels like way too much. I'd prefer the shorter part time shifts at Fedex, and then supplement it with maybe a bit more of a laidback 2nd part time job.
@@HumanEncoded Yeah...I had to ditch Amazon, haha. My left foot was starting to go numb halfway through the shift and both feet were covered in blisters. Don't regret it though, gained some big respect for the people doing that work, and will think twice before ever ordering heavy shit through Amazon again, lol.
@@TotemoGaijin My feet was hurting before I purchase some better shoes for warehouse work. I also have a different level of respect for the ppl working since I started.
@@HumanEncoded Yeah, I actually bought a pair of really well reviewed shoes before starting and they didn't help, lol. I think I've just got crappy feet. On top of a skin condition that complicates things.
Which do you prefer, FedEx or Amazon? Let me know your opinion* Forgot to Add: FedEx do NOT drug test but Amazon does (oral swab test)..... Hope this help someone 🙂

I got my fedex orientation on Tuesday in Brooklyn ny getting paid 18.75 few blocks from my krib in my neighborhood I’m watching your video getting prepared
I would say that it depends on where you are because I have worked for both and the FedEx I was working at was paying $17 hr and $20 on weekends but now it's $22 on weekdays and $25 on weekends
I worked at FedEx Ground for about 2 years (3 months full time), Amazon for 3 months (full time). Pay: Amazon ($17.90 vs $17 full time... though at Amazon I was weekend overnights, FedEx was 1pm-10pm) Benefits: FedEx (As a college student, otherwise Amazon) Scheduling: FedEx (More flexible. I quit at Amazon because they wouldn't let me change my schedule) Time Off: Amazon (The app is great. Personal time is huge. Never called off at Amazon so I'm not entirely sure, but FedEx is chill with it) Work Conditions: FedEx (Neither have controlled climates. Amazon's crazy strict with numbers, FedEx is more chill) Culture: FedEx (Depends on the building... one FedEx was a terrible vibe while one FedEx was pretty chill.

Fedex Express health insurance doesn't kick in until after 90 days. Part time doesn't accumulate vacations. Official career site states $15 an hour but it's $13 when you go complete your application. Managers trys to up the other managers, team leaders does the same.
I work at a California FedEx ground warehouse and for us as part time is $16 and if we work preload night shift it’s $2 extra and evening shift is $1 extra that’s all I know and I’m not including overtime pay so working 2 shifts full is overtime my shift is 5 hours 12pm-5:30pm the most until 6pm
There have been rumors that eventually, Amazon is going to buy out both Fedex and UPS. The problem with Amazon jobs, is that they're in major cities and hubs. The closest Amazon is in Pittsburgh, an hour away from me in my rural area. I like the Fedex job that I have in a very small city in Pa.
I haven't heard about any talks of Amazon acquiring FedEx & UPS. It may happen one day tho. If it does I'm sure Amazon would keep mostly all FedEx & UPS locations in small cities open to expand their logistic reach. Just my opinion 🙂
@@HumanEncoded I doubt it, because UPS is in the union, and Amazon has been avoiding being in the union. Which many people who are working at Amazon, wants that.

Once you been there a year. They’ll start trying to make you work more, than say you gotta make rate. Ans try to find ways to make you quit or fire you.
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique my coworker been at Amazon for 10 years so Idk what your talking about I been there for 2 years and they haven’t told me nothing I’m at 19$ the hr right now getting my cdl classes payed for to
Fedex Express is way better than ground Express pays 18.68 ground is like the contractor will pay you a figure like 600 a week regardless how full or how empty the truck is and the truck is always full
Also fedex over time is better if you work 9 hours in 1 day and only work that 1 day out the week thats one hour over time and the week end since you are paid 18.68 its 27 dollars on any day that you are off
I do masonry work right now, very tough stuff, each bag of cement is 94lbs but I want more money a varying schedule a fast past environment, I know with help of these video I will be hired I'm 19 years old
Hey Juan! Yes you can do it b/c a lot of warehouses are really hiring right now. With your past work history, warehouse work should be a breeze for you. Thanks for watching! 👍🏽
I know a manager got a PG fired, told him to go turn off a power switch and back on so he did. It messed up the entire pack wall and basically lied on him saying he did not tell him to do that well he lost his job. all on camera but no audio. managers word over an employee
Wow that F'd up. Unfortunately they will take the managers word b/c it's easier to replace a PG than a manager. That manager was like I'm not about to get fired today! Lol
@@HumanEncoded right lol but Karna will come to him eventually because how would you like it if you got fired because someone told a lie and now youre on the streets and have bills to pay. He wouldn't like it at all.
I've watched a few of your videos mainly cause I was recently let go from Amazon. I was wronged but wasn't really able to appeal so I steered my focus on FedEx and came across you. When I saw you I was like "oh shii, that Reggie Couz..but with locs" lmfaoo but yeah I start my orientation this Thursday at 6am. Start my actual day of work Saturday makin $19 full time as a package handler.
Man I appreciate you taking time out your day to check out my videos! 💯 Hate to hear it didn't work out for you at Amazon. Good thing is you can still reapply to Amazon in about 3-12 months (depends on location). I've gotten emails from them stating I'm eligible for rehire. How's it going for you at FedEx? Oh & No Reggie Couz look-a-like over here my guy! lol 😂
Amazon Fresh Grocery is still the best. But much lower pay and fewer hours after covid. Management want to double the volume. Still better I guess. Most ppl seem happy over there. Alot of older or slightly disabled people there. Lately there has been alot of heavy work load in the summer. Not worth the lower pay.
I used to pickup Amazon Groceries from the warehouse & Whole Foods when I worked with Amazon Flex delivery. Amazon is always trying to get more volume out of their workers as possible. lol Thanks for sharing your experience.💯
Oh man now I’m second guessing myself haha! I just filled out my background check for part time at FedEx, should I try to get a better offer from Amazon while working at FedEx? Or is it not worth it?
To me it just depends which one pays the most, available shifts, & how far I have to travel. If you think Amazon is better then it wouldn't hurt to apply. You can always resign from FedEx so you can be rehired in the future.
I worked at Amazon for a year at the warehouse not the fulfillment center it was a great experience worked 10 hour shifts for 4 nights starting pay was 15$ but my pay became 18.50$ due to working on weekends became a blue badge in a month and an asc in 6months if your new and out of high school I recommend Amazon cause of the 5000$ pay for classes each semester on them met some nice people at Dmi5 hope my journey with fed ex goes well.
Work for FedEx Ground for three years as a package handler outbound and inbound part time located in Wallingford CT And let me tell its the absolute worse and most ghetto place I've ever work for did everything at this place never got promoted...From favoritism, Managers unorganized/rude and never happy to fights breaking out no leadership whatsoever..I start Amazon Delivery Station this week better pay and more hours can't wait
Ok what about for the ladies? I don't want to break my back. I don't mind working but I am not a man and not trying to be one. So what's easier for us?
There was probably more ladies at the warehouses I've worked than men. They have a lot of positions that you don't have to lift heavy packages. The main thing to consider is that these jobs require you to do repetitive work. That could tire you out over time. Make sure not to accept loading or uploading (dock) positions.
thanks for the great vid bro! i have a question, i just got hired and finished the first two days of training , which was wednesday and thursday ( inbound and outbound) , but my manager did not tell me anything about my schedule and im not sure whats going on! do i need to go back on wed, thurs? are wed and thurs my set scedule?
That's not uncommon. When I started some ppl didn't come to work on the first day after training b/c they didn't know. I would suggest calling your location & asking b/c I would hate for them to count a day against you b/c they really wasn't clear about your schedule 📲☎️
Got some good info from this video. Going to my orientation for FedEx today. In my area, FedEx and UPS or finally paying more since we got Amazon in our area out of the airport. It’s not a warehouse though. I would not be able to work at an Amazon warehouse, no way! The competition is good because they are paying people more. I am just now starting at FedEx and my pay is $17 and I am hired in unlike UPS. UPS pays more but you’re very unlikely to get a job there permanently. I’ll get my insurance within 30 days of working at aFedEx and it’s affordable. UPS gives insurance after a year for free. But you pay Union Fees and the Union doesn’t back its employees in my area. But when I speak to my family that lives in Kansas it’s different there for the pay. Also Unions are different depending on what city you live in. I did like Amazon because I worked out on the ramp loading and unloading aircraft. But in the winter time because I’ve had broken bones in the past the arthritis killed me. I couldn’t handle it. Amazon overall is the best imo and go out of their way to retain employees.
Yea I think Amazon has a slight edge on FedEx & now that you mentioned it, UPS b/c of their hiring, pay, & infrastructure. I really hope everything works well for you @ FedEx. I've known ppl who worked there for yrs & like it. Appreciate you watching the video! 🙂
I've worked at Amazon 3 years and almost 5 months now. I've never worked at FedEx B4 and I am going to orientation in a couple days. Not sure how it's going but now im going to find out.
I worked Amazon after graduating high school my first warehouse job at 2016 pay was like $13.25-13.50 Amazon is a easier job I was a temp associate easier job then FedEx , at FedEx you pick up heavy boxes up to 75lb at day sort as far as I know where o work and pto after 3 months and they have boxes heavier then that 75lb but at my first no call no show FedEx write up the manager was nice and counted my 2 no call no show and 2 unexcused absence as 1 so that’s a pro
At both companies they have metal detectors and security guards the time 2016 I worked Amazon they allowed phones not sure now, but FedEx no phones allowed you have to put it in your locker car or leave it at home
That may be true but Amazon has soo many different types of sectors outside of shipping/logistics that increase job opportunities for people that may not want to just work for a shipping company.
One of the reasons I quit. Oh, you’re done? You’ve been assigned to a new work station. Oh, you’re done again? You’ve been assigned to a new work station again. Oh, so you on the top 10 fastest employees? You’ve been assigned to another new work station. Oh, again? This fool don’t know how to chill. Alright. You’ve been assigned to another work station again again. You get it now? The harder you work, being the best of the best. You never get to take a breather. No 1 or 3 minute breaks. Make rate, make rate! Managers don’t give a damn about you.
This is true.... the managers job is to get the most production out of the workers to complete the task for that shift. It's up to the workers to pace themselves & not let them over work you. That's just my 2 cents 🙂
I tell people this is every warehouse. Hard work does nothing half of the time but give you MORE hard work while the slackers continue to slack and you're going home with body aches etc. They expect you to be a superstar and perform on the same level everyday and that's not possible. That's why I have so many ppl risking heart attacks and high BP bc they are overworked and stressed drinking a bunch of Monsters rockstars etc trying to keep up and stay awake smh
Quick question I have training this Monday do I need to bring anything and do you think I can bring my phone in because I don’t have my license yet and my brother has to pick me up after
Are you saying not to work 17 hours a Day? lol , I already have a Full-Time job 8 hours, so you might be wondering why I am watching this? I am looking for a secondary job, so that I can save some money $$$ also are you related to me? I also like to move around and get bored if I am doing the same things for too long. for that my Full-Time job consist in working with kids younger than 5 years old. A few years ago I worked in Amazon, but then a package fell on me and it hurt my shoulder got scared to go back.
lol YES is you can keep from it..... I did for the same reason you are thinking about getting a 2nd job (to earn extra money). I would recommend having to labor intensive jobs though. We could be related lol.... I'm sure with working with kids you have developed a short attention span alone with them. 😃
I have a question. What are the hours during peak season? I know at ups it was 12-930 or 10. Every year I do a seasonal job and make some extra money and my main job is very flexible. But I can't find the hours for peak season.
The only thing I can suggest is going to the Amazon Jobs website & search Seasonal Warehouse Team Member. This should take you to what's available in your area. I think you will have to apply in order to see what days & hours are available. Hope this helps Jahleelsayers
Depends on the work load. It's a lot of repetitious labor which can get real busy or slow down throughout the shift. Its not hard but physically demanding.
I quit after two weeks shit was horrible . I couldn’t even bend down my body was messed up I have an interview tomorrow at FedEx pay is better so hopefully that will motivate me .
@@HumanEncoded they rescheduled my orientation for some reason but I got in at Amazon seasonal part time I start the 14th . Hope it’s not as bad as ups
ok so where I live both company's are not far from each other. I've been at amazon for almost 6 months I work at a sortation center. The only reason why I need a second income is because their full time shifts don't fit my needs right now so I was thinking about switching to fed ex and leaving amazon. Except you mentioned that you worked at both so can I really do that ? I thought company's look at who you are currently working for lol. Please inform me because if I can work part time at both for some time until I find the right opportunity to go full time with one of them with a schedule that works for me I would prefer that. I love the amazon site I work at but at this time I need a second job right away I don't want to leave so sudden, they will pay for me to go back to school in January. Fed ex is close to home and its later in that day like I need it to be.
You don't have to quit Amazon. I've worked at both at the same time. Once I got hired I even told them I had another job so I could leave at a certain time. Not sure if I told them what company it was tho. These jobs don't care as long as you can work your schedule. Around this time of the year they will have mandatory hrs to work so you'll have to figure out how to work around that. Hope this helps 🤞🏽
Lol naw I've been working out throughout my adult years (off & on). I'm trying to gain some weight to convert it into muscle mass at the moment. 🤞🏽 Working at these warehouse may help ppl get in shape or stay in shape if the job is physically labor intensive though. I didn't work there for the workout, I worked there for the money! 💰 lol
Short answer... yes B/c they are two different companies even though you are delivering Amazon products. Just to be sure, I would make sure the dsp company does not have anything in the contract about that though.
During peak season some work stations would have music playing from a speaker but other than that a individual could not have headphones on listening to music.
Pay has increased nationwide since I started plus it depends where you live in the country that determines starting pay. Thanks for informing pay in Ohio bro. 👍🏽
I feel you on that.... I think Amazon has a better over environment for potential growth. Let's put it this way.... I was never excited about entering any of those warehouses to work. lol 😅
Unfortunately I don't & those type of benefits don't dictate if I decide to work those type of jobs since I don't plan on being there long-term. I only care about pay & the type of work I'll be doing there. Thanks for stopping by anyway bro. 👍🏽
Naw... I was working almost 40 (3dys 12hrs) at Amazon & over 40 hrs during peak season. I just worked FedEx for extra money at the time which turned out to be not that much after I started crunching the numbers. smh 😅
Bruh! Did you not sign the paperwork from Amazon about speaking about the work environment etc, etc You are about to get sued!!!! Stop making these videos if i was you. You just telling all the business and I've worked with Amazon and i know the rules.... Just be safe
I think it's pretty even right now b/c these companies are really needing workers. When I applied for both, Amazon was prob easier. You can apply for both & see which one hires you 1st.
Lol prob Amazon but it depends where you live, how much they pay, & the work environment. Overall I think you will have to decide & see how you like it. You can always resign if you don't like it. 🙂👍🏽
@@WubbedGing If you are asking if FedEx ground have package handler positions, the answer is yes. Let me know if I answered your question Bassed Ginger
Another good thing about Amazon is, you can work for 3 months, quit and come back later, work for another 3-6 months, make extra $$$ and quit. ✔️💵
I kind of did the same thing! I worked seasonal peak one year, got let go, then came back the next year & got converted to blue badge (at different locations tho). Thanks for sharing 👍

With your past work history, warehouse work should be a breeze for you.
Thanks for watching! 👍🏽
@@HumanEncoded thankyou that means a lot💯 I'm going to fill out an application for Amazon after I get right with qualifying.
I know a manager got a PG fired, told him to go turn off a power switch and back on so he did. It messed up the entire pack wall and basically lied on him saying he did not tell him to do that well he lost his job. all on camera but no audio. managers word over an employee
Wow that F'd up. Unfortunately they will take the managers word b/c it's easier to replace a PG than a manager.
That manager was like I'm not about to get fired today! Lol
@@HumanEncoded right lol but Karna will come to him eventually because how would you like it if you got fired because someone told a lie and now youre on the streets and have bills to pay. He wouldn't like it at all.
@@WithoutOnlyMe I totally agree... I've been in that position before. Guess he'll have to leave it up to karma like you said. 💯
Good video. Thanks. Ima give Amazon a try.
Hopefully it works out for you & let us know how it goes.
Thanks for watching! 👍🏽
Amazon gave me free health insurance the first day I started my job. That’s a bonus for anybody that needs insurance.
That's great to hear.... Thanks for sharing this information Rosemary! 👍
I've watched a few of your videos mainly cause I was recently let go from Amazon. I was wronged but wasn't really able to appeal so I steered my focus on FedEx and came across you. When I saw you I was like "oh shii, that Reggie Couz..but with locs" lmfaoo but yeah I start my orientation this Thursday at 6am. Start my actual day of work Saturday makin $19 full time as a package handler.
Man I appreciate you taking time out your day to check out my videos! 💯
Hate to hear it didn't work out for you at Amazon. Good thing is you can still reapply to Amazon in about 3-12 months (depends on location). I've gotten emails from them stating I'm eligible for rehire.
How's it going for you at FedEx?
Oh & No Reggie Couz look-a-like over here my guy! lol 😂
Hows fed ex so far ? Im thinking about working there.
I’m currently in your situation due to Attendance points thinking about quitting and goin back I’m working as a flex associate
@Mrplayyoposition hope it works out for you in whatever decision you make my guy 💯
I'm a packer for amazon and am receiving 21.75 for packing packages
That sounds like good pay! 💰
Thanks for sharing 👍
Do you lift heavy objects?
This was good content.... Keep them coming!
Much Appreciated Zeus!
Amazon Fresh Grocery is still the best. But much lower pay and fewer hours after covid. Management want to double the volume. Still better I guess. Most ppl seem happy over there. Alot of older or slightly disabled people there. Lately there has been alot of heavy work load in the summer. Not worth the lower pay.
I used to pickup Amazon Groceries from the warehouse & Whole Foods when I worked with Amazon Flex delivery.
Amazon is always trying to get more volume out of their workers as possible. lol
Thanks for sharing your experience.💯
Oh man now I’m second guessing myself haha! I just filled out my background check for part time at FedEx, should I try to get a better offer from Amazon while working at FedEx? Or is it not worth it?
To me it just depends which one pays the most, available shifts, & how far I have to travel.
If you think Amazon is better then it wouldn't hurt to apply.
You can always resign from FedEx so you can be rehired in the future.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
My pleasure.... thanks for watching Kras! 💯👍🏽
Amazon hands down
Thanks for giving us your feedback Slothboy G! 👍
No cap but they hours OD
I worked at Amazon for a year at the warehouse not the fulfillment center it was a great experience worked 10 hour shifts for 4 nights starting pay was 15$ but my pay became 18.50$ due to working on weekends became a blue badge in a month and an asc in 6months if your new and out of high school I recommend Amazon cause of the 5000$ pay for classes each semester on them met some nice people at Dmi5 hope my journey with fed ex goes well.
Good advice.... Thanks for sharing your Amazon experience.
Hopefully things will go well for you at FedEx. 💯
I work at amazon and we can take our phones in, I see your video is from last year things have changed..... 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
That's great to head & yea when I was working there no phones were allowed on the warehouse floor. 📲👍🏽
Great work 👏
Appreciate that & thanks for watching Vern 👍🏽
Nice!! I’m trying to do the same thing
UPS 💪🏻 UNION STRONG
UPS in the building! 💪🏾
They all seem to be a little similar in operation in my opinion.
Work for FedEx Ground for three years as a package handler outbound and inbound part time located in Wallingford CT And let me tell its the absolute worse and most ghetto place I've ever work for did everything at this place never got promoted...From favoritism, Managers unorganized/rude and never happy to fights breaking out no leadership whatsoever..I start Amazon Delivery Station this week better pay and more hours can't wait
Yea it does sound like your previous job was on the worst end of working with FedEx. lol
Hope Amazon is 10x better for you when you start Rock Suge. 🤞
Ok what about for the ladies? I don't want to break my back. I don't mind working but I am not a man and not trying to be one. So what's easier for us?
There was probably more ladies at the warehouses I've worked than men.
They have a lot of positions that you don't have to lift heavy packages.
The main thing to consider is that these jobs require you to do repetitive work. That could tire you out over time.
Make sure not to accept loading or uploading (dock) positions.
At fed express they changed the transfer requirements to other positions from 1/2 year to 1 year to 1 1/2 year while I was working there for 14 month.
Wonder why they extend the transfer requirements like that 🤔
thanks for the great vid bro!
i have a question,
i just got hired and finished the first two days of training , which was wednesday and thursday ( inbound and outbound) ,
but my manager did not tell me anything about my schedule and im not sure whats going on!
do i need to go back on wed, thurs?
are wed and thurs my set scedule?
That's not uncommon. When I started some ppl didn't come to work on the first day after training b/c they didn't know. I would suggest calling your location & asking b/c I would hate for them to count a day against you b/c they really wasn't clear about your schedule 📲☎️
Fedex needs to step up in terms of technology they give you headaches when trying to set up direct deposit and the mobile app is complete trash.
Good point 👍
Got some good info from this video. Going to my orientation for FedEx today.
In my area, FedEx and UPS or finally paying more since we got Amazon in our area out of the airport. It’s not a warehouse though. I would not be able to work at an Amazon warehouse, no way!
The competition is good because they are paying people more. I am just now starting at FedEx and my pay is $17 and I am hired in unlike UPS. UPS pays more but you’re very unlikely to get a job there permanently. I’ll get my insurance within 30 days of working at aFedEx and it’s affordable. UPS gives insurance after a year for free. But you pay Union Fees and the Union doesn’t back its employees in my area.
But when I speak to my family that lives in Kansas it’s different there for the pay. Also Unions are different depending on what city you live in.
I did like Amazon because I worked out on the ramp loading and unloading aircraft. But in the winter time because I’ve had broken bones in the past the arthritis killed me. I couldn’t handle it.
Amazon overall is the best imo and go out of their way to retain employees.
Yea I think Amazon has a slight edge on FedEx & now that you mentioned it, UPS b/c of their hiring, pay, & infrastructure.
I really hope everything works well for you @ FedEx. I've known ppl who worked there for yrs & like it.
Appreciate you watching the video! 🙂
I've worked at Amazon 3 years and almost 5 months now. I've never worked at FedEx B4 and I am going to orientation in a couple days. Not sure how it's going but now im going to find out.
How did things go at FedEx for you so far Tokyo Bacon?
Good share. Thank you
My pleasure... thanks for watching Deana! 🙂👍🏽
Fedex is worse I always get an injury or hurt and its a dangerous job
Definitely got to be careful out there.... look out for yourself 1st & foremost 💪
I worked Amazon after graduating high school my first warehouse job at 2016 pay was like $13.25-13.50 Amazon is a easier job I was a temp associate easier job then FedEx , at FedEx you pick up heavy boxes up to 75lb at day sort as far as I know where o work and pto after 3 months and they have boxes heavier then that 75lb but at my first no call no show FedEx write up the manager was nice and counted my 2 no call no show and 2 unexcused absence as 1 so that’s a pro
At both companies they have metal detectors and security guards the time 2016 I worked Amazon they allowed phones not sure now, but FedEx no phones allowed you have to put it in your locker car or leave it at home
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Hopefully this helps other people when choosing between the two.
FedEx is the second largest shipping company in the country behind UPS by revenue. Amazon is not even close.
That may be true but Amazon has soo many different types of sectors outside of shipping/logistics that increase job opportunities for people that may not want to just work for a shipping company.
One of the reasons I quit. Oh, you’re done? You’ve been assigned to a new work station. Oh, you’re done again? You’ve been assigned to a new work station again. Oh, so you on the top 10 fastest employees? You’ve been assigned to another new work station. Oh, again? This fool don’t know how to chill. Alright. You’ve been assigned to another work station again again. You get it now? The harder you work, being the best of the best. You never get to take a breather. No 1 or 3 minute breaks. Make rate, make rate! Managers don’t give a damn about you.
This is true.... the managers job is to get the most production out of the workers to complete the task for that shift.
It's up to the workers to pace themselves & not let them over work you.
That's just my 2 cents 🙂
Amazon or Fed?
I tell people this is every warehouse. Hard work does nothing half of the time but give you MORE hard work while the slackers continue to slack and you're going home with body aches etc. They expect you to be a superstar and perform on the same level everyday and that's not possible. That's why I have so many ppl risking heart attacks and high BP bc they are overworked and stressed drinking a bunch of Monsters rockstars etc trying to keep up and stay awake smh
Fedex express drug test is non-federal. If you quit on good grounds with them, they will not hire you back if you reapply within 6 month.
Thanks for clearing this up 👍🏽
Quick question I have training this Monday do I need to bring anything and do you think I can bring my phone in because I don’t have my license yet and my brother has to pick me up after
Yes, you can bring your phone. At the most, you will just have to walk through the security scanner.
Fexed started me at $19
Cool... thanks for sharing 👍
I work at Fedex package handler 16.50 can be hard on the body
Yes it can. When I started it took my body a minute to adjust to that type of workload & standing for that long.
Are you saying not to work 17 hours a Day? lol , I already have a Full-Time job 8 hours, so you might be wondering why I am watching this? I am looking for a secondary job, so that I can save some money $$$ also are you related to me? I also like to move around and get bored if I am doing the same things for too long. for that my Full-Time job consist in working with kids younger than 5 years old. A few years ago I worked in Amazon, but then a package fell on me and it hurt my shoulder got scared to go back.
lol YES is you can keep from it..... I did for the same reason you are thinking about getting a 2nd job (to earn extra money). I would recommend having to labor intensive jobs though.
We could be related lol.... I'm sure with working with kids you have developed a short attention span alone with them. 😃
@@HumanEncoded probably lol
@@tangoingthekitchen 😁
I have a question. What are the hours during peak season? I know at ups it was 12-930 or 10. Every year I do a seasonal job and make some extra money and my main job is very flexible. But I can't find the hours for peak season.
The only thing I can suggest is going to the Amazon Jobs website & search Seasonal Warehouse Team Member. This should take you to what's available in your area. I think you will have to apply in order to see what days & hours are available. Hope this helps Jahleelsayers
I looking for my first job just graduated high school I'm either between FedEx or Amazon both warehouse jobs, someone help me decide please!!!
Find out which one pays the most. If both pay the same I would give the edge to Amazon. Just my opinion
Update: FEDEX Arcadia pays 18.25 an hour for part time.
Appreciate the update bruh
I make 20 a hr at fed ex in North Carolina
Cool... thanks for sharing 👍
How would you describe fedex outbound package handler? Hard? Very hard?
Depends on the work load. It's a lot of repetitious labor which can get real busy or slow down throughout the shift.
Its not hard but physically demanding.
Very hard
about ups
not sure about UPS 🤔
Here in SC they are paying $18.00 he starting off with a hiring bonus
Oh cool... Which job FedEx or Amazon paying $18?

The whole phone thing, are smart watches allowed?
At some locations you may be able to.

How about UPS? How are they.
Not sure about UPS the closes I got to working for them was orientation.

ok so where I live both company's are not far from each other. I've been at amazon for almost 6 months I work at a sortation center. The only reason why I need a second income is because their full time shifts don't fit my needs right now so I was thinking about switching to fed ex and leaving amazon. Except you mentioned that you worked at both so can I really do that ? I thought company's look at who you are currently working for lol. Please inform me because if I can work part time at both for some time until I find the right opportunity to go full time with one of them with a schedule that works for me I would prefer that. I love the amazon site I work at but at this time I need a second job right away I don't want to leave so sudden, they will pay for me to go back to school in January. Fed ex is close to home and its later in that day like I need it to be.
non you can't you have to quit amazon
You don't have to quit Amazon. I've worked at both at the same time.
Once I got hired I even told them I had another job so I could leave at a certain time. Not sure if I told them what company it was tho.
These jobs don't care as long as you can work your schedule.
Around this time of the year they will have mandatory hrs to work so you'll have to figure out how to work around that.
Hope this helps 🤞🏽
Did you get in shape from just working at warehouses?
Lol naw I've been working out throughout my adult years (off & on). I'm trying to gain some weight to convert it into muscle mass at the moment. 🤞🏽
Working at these warehouse may help ppl get in shape or stay in shape if the job is physically labor intensive though.
I didn't work there for the workout, I worked there for the money! 💰 lol
@@HumanEncoded Thanks brother. I pray you have a long life and the endurance to keep up the good work. God bless you.
@@bigbaltimore Man I really appreciate that... Same to you my guy! 💪🏾💯
I quitted Amazon on my first day FedEx pays more than Amazon. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol I can understand that... Go where the money at then Shayla! 💰💰
Can you work Amazon warehouse and a third party dsp driver
Short answer... yes
B/c they are two different companies even though you are delivering Amazon products.
Just to be sure, I would make sure the dsp company does not have anything in the contract about that though.
Fedex ground is ass
It can be some b/s.... it's definitely not for everyone lol
Can’t be as bad as Amazon they work u like a dog
Can you listen to music while you work?
During peak season some work stations would have music playing from a speaker but other than that a individual could not have headphones on listening to music.
Amazon for sure
I'm with on that decision.
I would also say for me, who ever pays the most has a lot to do with my decision as well. 💰😁
$13 at FedEx?? I get $23/hr here in Ohio!
Pay has increased nationwide since I started plus it depends where you live in the country that determines starting pay.

Worked at both FedEx is the WORST
I feel you on that.... I think Amazon has a better over environment for potential growth.
Let's put it this way.... I was never excited about entering any of those warehouses to work. lol 😅
I quit listening when the guy said "I don't know much about the insurance I'm not much of a insurance guy" lol....
Unfortunately I don't & those type of benefits don't dictate if I decide to work those type of jobs since I don't plan on being there long-term.
I only care about pay & the type of work I'll be doing there.

FedEx ground is horrible highly don’t recommend 🙅🏽♂️
Lol yeap I can see why you would say that. Hopefully you were able to find a job less horrible 🤞🏽
