I’m looking to film this video soon so make sure to subscribe as well and turn post notifications on so you can watch it as soon as it’s out! If you have any other ideas for Amazon videos as well please let me know, thanks!
Good video man, I just started working at amazon part time sunday. Video was accurate and this job is definitely not for everyone. At the end of the day, I think about what I WOULD be doing if I wasnt at work, Which is sit in front of my computer and wish I was doing something else. Thats my motivation to work at amazon. It pays good, and what else could i be doing? Once you're off, You're off. None of it matters the second u clock out. Hope you all can grind out that OT!
Thank you for the kind words! I really hope you enjoy your time at Amazon!
How much money can I make a a week part time and a month
@@deandreharris8608 depends on your payrate and how many hours you work
@@deandreharris8608 part timers dont make much tbh. If you get a job at amazon get a full time position and shoot for ot. You can make upwards 1000 a week.. also some is mandatory like he says which can be a double edged sword tbh but you WILL br greatful on payday.. just make sure to eat good meals and get plenty of rest.
@@rietzhu I feel like if you work part time as a teen 1500 - 1900 paycheck is pretty good if you ask me
I'm so introverted!!! I stay in my own area and process my returns in my own space. And I absolutely love it!!!!!!!
Your vids are very helpfull and i'm definitely an introvert person. I like to be at work, finished my job and carefree when I get out
I stand on my feet at my current job. Been doing that for over 5 years. I love my own space and peace of mind. I might apply.
Go for it!!
This job may kick my butt but I welcome the challenge, lol. Tnx for this quiz, you rock!:)
You really earned my respect in this video man. You spoke the truth about people being lazy lol, talk about the nail of the head.
So much great info! Awesome!
Thank you!
Love your vids!
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
Thanks!
This job really sounds like a no brainer. $1000 sign on bonus and if you’re vaccinated you get an extra $100. Not to mention, pay is usually above minimum wage. I’m waiting for my contingent offer letter. I have a full time job and will be doing this Thursday-Sunday 8pm-12am. Can’t wait to start! All the negative videos on UA-cam were really discouraging so I appreciate your informative video! So many people do quit instantly.. it’s sad.
Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have a great time here!
They should trying working for UPS and see the difference 🤣😓
Bro those people who talk negatively are usually people who are lazy and had mommy and daddy money growing up. If you can’t work at Amazon you can’t work anywhere else.
never had to be on my feet that long.. just hope i can persevere through it
People forget that Amazon is a "warehouse" job...😂
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you for calling out the people that complain. I start next week and I’m so excited. I love being on my feet and working fast pace.
Sure you will you’ll see 😂
How's it going?
Ill have a hard time because im super social and extrovert but I work hard and love to work, thanks for the tip
Dude, I'm an introvert, in fact I'm autistic (high functioning) and even I can't handle how much people avoid each other here.
I am introvert. I am love working alone. Sometime area manager put me with new employees. I get so annoyed when they keep asking questions. I love help them. But I don’t want lose my packing Unite rate. For that reason sometime I have say no when they asked for help. That make me sad.
I jus started working “peak “ and honestly i love it stowing is my favorite i really want to stay after peak ends any suggestions? Can you be a flex and work in fulfillment station?
What's your job? at amazon I like the job I use to work with dogs for 12 years but now that's over but yes I like the job and the pay is great.
Another great video friend friend I would love to know what are the best and easiest positions? And is it easy to get promoted?
It depends on what warehouse you get. Not all Amazon warehouses are the same. Some ship big things some don't. Also some Amazon warehouses don't have robots some do. Also promoted. It depends. What do you mean? Because everybody gets crossed trained pretty much to do alot of different things. A supervisor role if that's what you are talking about you have to have a degree to. Also there salary pay. The highest level you can get by just working there is a level 3 and pretty much just 2 dollars difference too. I'm a picker mainly because I'm fast and they like me there. I have done serval things though. But I am a learning ambassador too. Now to get something of this role or moved into a role more primary which I am a learning ambassador but I still pick. You have to be a blue badge. But slot if people get those day 1 so you probably would get a blue badge day 1 anyways
@@chasenicholas6724 Thanks so much 😊 For your great tips and advice.
You said you sit down doing the same thing so are there sit down jobs? Or are you standing?
I start next week my MET day is supposed to be Tuesdays and my shift is Wed-Sat so hopefully I'll be getting the heads up on OT and no surprises at the end of the week. Either way prime is coming up the week after I start so I'm probably gonna be on MET right off the bat huh?
It depends on location and position honestly, we hired so many people that we (as of now) aren’t getting MET for inbound during prime week, and instead, we’re even getting VTO. But other positions at my warehouse are getting MET, most of them being outbound positions. I know a lot of other locations are also being VTO’d right now as well, so honestly it just depends on your position and your location
@@C11 hopefully they put me some something relatively easy.. im pretty good with everything you've mentioned.. ive worked pretty labor intensive jobs in the past so I'm not to worried about it. Just don't wanna get stuck on one of the few extra hard jobs I hear they have.. stowing looks like a breeze.. kinda hope I get put on that.. leave me alone and let me stow lol
Oh yeah stow is super easy, a lot of people find it boring but if you figure out ways to make it more entertaining you’ll be in there, some days go by slow but a lot of them go by pretty quickly. It’s definitely the easiest position imo
They gave me the wrong schedule I have to go to hr. For transfer is a bit confusing it was awewee for me this week.
just recently started working at amazon and i have mixed feelings… i’m doing part time wed-sun 3:20am-8:50am because that was literally the only one within a 50 mile radius of me. it’s 21 an hour, easy work and introverted friendly which i love but this graveyard shift is brutal. since i’m in bands and we do gigs on the weekends i’m constantly pulling all nighters and all i think about during the day is if i’m gonna get sleep 😂 if i could do like a 9am-2pm that would be great for me but i need to be a blue badge for transfers it says and i can never find a shift like that when i look at other facilities. i just don’t know what other job i could do that’s like this that would fit in my band schedule.
are there locker rooms/changing rooms?
I'm from Oklahoma we just opened our second location and guess what yeah I got hired there any advice for someone starting at a warehouse that just opened?
Some advice/notes I can give is that since your location is brand new, you'll probably be doing A LOT of different positions during the first couple of months. I've learned from other subscribers that newer warehouses typically tend to teach everyone everything so that everyone's prepared for every position pretty much, which usually doesn't happen at older warehouses at all.
The mandatory overtime is bs! Our job description says our position is" open-end" which basically means you don't leave till the work is done. Then they throw "occasional overtime if needed" Well..the problem there was that every week it was mandatory .We would get these new employees and once they complained management would throw in "overtime is mandatory. It's in your job description " People were ticked off and quitting cause they are under the impression that overtime was maybe once a month or something. At least that's how management would make it sound.
If you are working with Amazon in the Delivery Station 40 hours a week as a seasonal will they fire you if you can't work overtime? I work at full time job with another company.and would not be available to work overtime with Amazon. I can only work my 40 hours scheduled shift with Amazon.
You need to talk to HR to get MET removed from your schedule; they will ask for verification of your other job and then excuse you from MET or any other extra shifts going forward
It was like being in jail in solitary confinement.
I'm disabled and have to use a cane they said that they could make an accommodation do you have any kind of an idea what that would be? Are there any chairs in any of the positions in the fulfillment Warehouse that you can sit and do your job
There aren’t any chairs at our stations at my FC, but if they said they would make an accommodation, I’m sure they will!
Have you ever considered selling merchandise? "With that being said" is your "catchphrase!" Use it.
I am now going to be self-conscious when I say that lmao! But I've thought about it, but have never actually considered it. Maybe one day! I'd have to find a good design first
Do you ever get raises?
Are there any bonuses?
We got a raise this year that ranged from $0.50-$3 (depending on your tenure) but before then, we usually didn’t get raises. You got one once you hit 18 months, but it was only $0.15. So generally, no, we don’t get good raises, however this year we did to keep up our “competitive pay” status vs. other jobs like Target and all of those places. As for bonuses yes we get them, I would say like once or twice or year, sometimes even 3 or 4, it just depends on location. The bonus can vary from $250-$1K
How are the delivery stations are those the same as the fulfillment centers?
I’ve never worked at one but I believe they’re different from fc’s. I couldn’t say how different but the work is different for sure. There’s probably some similarities though
I have heard that delivery stations are easier but Idk i just heard that i work at a delivery station and its not that bad
Delivery stations are smaller, less people, easier, more chill, and time goes by faster. If you have a choice between fc and ds pick DS
i'm an introvert but i do like to talk to people at work. unless i can be on my phone (which i heard you can't at amazon lol)
Yep that’s a write up for you if you’re on your phone lmao
The break rooms are so huge. You never have to sit or talk to anyone. Now don't get me wrong. I will talk and clown with a few. But for the most part I'm in my own area. Me and my phone
Can't complain much, we get good benefits and get paid garuanteed weekly. OT is never an issue with me, stacking paper.
Introvert 1000
Facts
How much do you get paid for overnight/overnight weekend work?
I could be wrong, but I believe night shift gets paid $1 more than day shift.
In Nashville, Tn where I live and work night shift at the Amazon site, we get $2 more making our hourly pay of 18.50 😊
Hello, my first day at Amazon is Saturday July 10th. My schedule is Saturday through Tuesday 1:20am-11:50am. I'm going to be working at the delivery station. I have a multiple questions. Have you ever worked at an Amazon delivery station? If so, what type of jobs did you do? If there are spots open to transfer to a different Amazon location closer to my home, should I take it? Do you recommend signing up for VET? If you don't like the position that you are in, can you transfer to a different job rol? If so, how long would you have to wait to be transfered to a different job role? And, out of all the job roles that you have done working at Amazon, which one is your favorite and why? I really like your Amazon videos, they are very educational and helpful to future employees. I used to work at an Amazon FC back in 2019, and while I was watching your videos, it made me realize how much I missed working at Amazon. Keep up creating more Amazon videos!
I have never worked at a delivery station before. I would take the transfer to a different location for sure unless you really love the location you work at. I would sign up for VET if you need the extra funds and don’t mind working an extra day. Yeah you can transfer to other roles if you don’t enjoy the one you’re in, you have to wait 30 days after being hired into a role to transfer to another one. As for the last question, I actually answer that in another Amazon video I have coming out in 3 hours! Thank you so much for watching them! Although they’re not my primary form of content I definitely do enjoy making them and will continue to make some going forward!
Did you take the job? I'm transferring to a Delivery Station location in 2 weeks. I did get a chance to tour the inside though. I'm scared and excited at the same time.
is the 10 hr extra time double pay?
Unfortunately no, sometimes they offer double pay, but most of the time it’s 1.5x
What's your other job and what degree do you have?
I have a degree in paralegal studies and my other jobs are UA-cam and UberEATS
@@C11 stay awesome
What about a 65 years old man wanting to work there. Can he make it?
I would say it definitely depends on your health/body and how fit you are. Because it is a very active job, some people at 65 might not be able to handle the physical requirements of working at Amazon, but if your body is well taken care of and you’re pretty active, then you should be perfectly fine!
@@C11 Thank you !!
No problem!
You can it will be rough but aslong as maybe talk to HR department and they have great people at some warehouses that could help you with any disability and even put you in a better role fit for you too. And if they don't make a way to help you might have to wait 30 days as a blue badge first
Never
do you work sortation or fulfillment?
Fulfillment!
10hrs omg lol I just applied for the 4hr shift
Hey. If I sing at my station. Would this be ok? Happy and focus at work 😊
Yeah, I don’t think there are rules against it!
Those 10 hr shifts are killers, extremely boring as a introvert myself. After 3 years and 4 peaks, I was told to quit because I had put school before amazon
Yeah man they’re literally killers cause of how boring it gets. Sometimes I just sit there getting frustrated and want to leave bad lol
@@C11 I know that feeling all to familiar.lol I wish you the best, I hopeful things workout for you
Tell me if your building is offering a wage increase for next year or not.
Mine is not
Can you use headphone at least while working?
Unfortunately you’re not allowed to
Do you work holidays? Can you request holidays off?
If you’re scheduled for a holiday you still have to come in unless you use PTO, vacation time, or UPT. So yes, you can request holidays off IF you have the hours of time off to do so. The only holiday we’re guaranteed off is Christmas day
Haha, MASSIVE FAIL for me.
I'm incredibly extraverted, prefer cerebral environments and people, and don't like repetitive work.
I don't mind being micromanaged because I'm a very hard worker. Disciplined. I like hard work.
I NEED people to talk to.
So this job sucks for me.
Thankfully I'm pretty at peace with life at this stage of it. So I'm okay with being alone with my thoughts. Or else I'd struggle here.
I'm okay working for this company, but do, like EVERYONE ELSE, HATE this job for the most part. .
All said, Amazon has treated me well and I'm grateful. Still focused on this being a means to an end. Can't do it for too long or I'll end up a sour puss like most people that have been here long-term.
I don’t know why but If I’m on my feet longer than 20 minutes they have enormous pain. I start on September 7th. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it. I’ll probably have to pop pain pills all day.
I’d recommend getting good shoes because if this is a problem, your first few shifts are gonna destroy you
I work up to 60 hours per week.
im in this thumbnail and i dont like it.
What you mean
