I Quit Amazon after 1 Week - Here's Why
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 жов 2020
- Everyone is different, so everyone has a different experience working for Amazon. These are 5 reasons why I left after just 1 week. It was an experience, but I have no regrets. Everything started looking up for me as soon as I left!
Yes, #5 is a joke. Although, I’ll never know for sure what was in that goodie bag...

White woman taking da bus and worked at amazon u either 18 or abodtped sorry couldn't spell it.
Your so beautiful tiki tee
@@therealelijah4359 or lives in a city where the public metro is common? Racist much?
your a beautiful smart young lady best wishes to you. I just got hired at a amazon dsp delivering packages hopefully ,its a step up from wearhouse. Im 25 attractive tall male I to have had same bad experiences in wearhouses worked wearhouse from like 18 to 20 . I could go on and on about how I was treated similar and maybe even worse. my advice to you would be do something your passionate about and don't let others influence your decisions and my advice to everyone thinking about working at amazon is try it out . either it will motivate you to further your education or just appreciate the value of money . their are no failures only lessons. I love driving and would relish the opportunity to get more driving experience so I can get my cdl.
Was. A packer and sorter - redinder and inductor. Outbound. After a year working there, and everyone i got to know starting quitting left and right. I finally decided it was time i quit also.
In all honesty I’ve been working at amazon for 8 months and It’s really nice for an antisocial person because you don’t need to interact with customers or anything. It also pays well and the benefits are great! I work night shifts which is good for me since I can literally never sleep at night anyway 😂
You just described me haha
That's why I want to apply honestly. I'm used to standing for long hours and working a lot, but I would love to interact with as little people as possible. Lol
It’s definitely great for antisocial people. I worked at Amazon for 5 months, it was a good job when it came to the money and benefits. I was also a quiet person so dealing with zero customers was great. However, that’s really all the good things I have to say about the job. Even as an anti-social person, I hated it a lot. For many different reasons of course. So I lasted only 5 months there until I said screw this and left. It’s definitely not as a bad of a job that many people say it is, but I personally don’t think it’s even close to a good job overall as well. Just my thoughts.
@@brandonayala4605 what was so bad about it if you don't mind me asking. I'm going to be working part time at a warehouse location soon.
You described me too.
When I first started working at Amazon, someone deadass walked out within the first 4 hrs of training
Lol.
I feel like you’ve been doing youtube for 10+ years, you speak to the camera remarkably well. I was shocked when I saw you only have about 300 subs!! Keep going!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it ☺️
HR aint never at there desk when you need them anyway. Those covid notifications are nightmares. You see around 2 a week sometimes.
Omg this!!! This!!! Pisses me off soo much!! Where she at? Cuz she's never in the office!!!
Exactly
Red flags for jobs, Point systems, abrasive team leaders, mandatory overtime, long shifts, strict on personal items like a watch, high turn over, bully mentality, overly demanding atmosphere and on call.
That's sounds like overnight at harris teeter
So basically any factory job that's ever existed?
A lot of jobs
The only legit red flag IMO is high turn over rate.
@@Alwayzlowk3y which is a product of the reasons above ^^
I did my whole training watching a video. They'll throw you out on the floor expecting you to keep up with workers that have been there for some time. Then they'll come in your area with a laptop talking about you miss scan items. Its my second day and you want me to scan a million packages in a hr. Of course I'm going to have some era's asshole
I had been working with amazon for 3 months so far. I paid attention that all the work is on the associates, PAS just fast walk along the ailes to make sure the job is going, NEVER doing the real work ! Some employees are toxic and speak bad on others, break time is short . 9 hours working and only 1 hour break ( 30 min x2 ). A lot of people leave and new faces come in. Attitude of some managers is toxic, no phones no music, no chairs to set: Amazon is obsessed with safety but not much about your health!
This is serious.. Working in Amazon is not as easy as the way people are saying it outside.
I think it’s just certain locations I’ve heard of relaxed ones
You think a 9hour day with 2 x 30 min breaks is bad? Try being a registered nurse who does 13 hour days with the same breaks!
Try working a Regular "non amazon company" distribution center, say as a bulk puller (heavy items over 300lb) and having to keep your pick quota at obscene levels (amazon quota is easier) and do so on a 12 hour shift (not 10). It may be hard (I start tomm evening) but when you've worked on a Corrugator (look the machine up) for 10 hours in 100 degree weather, high humidity and the machine creates about 50 more degrees. Anything Amazon can throw ain't nothing compared to that and I did that for almost six years straight living in the south.
@@00jmjl It's not a competition. Just because your conditions are the worst, doesn't mean you should stand for it either!
If y’all think Amazon is bad try working at ups for less pay and supervisors constantly over you telling you to move faster
Nah frrr I dipped 😂😀
*Or FedEx, it is a nightmare!!*
Right I used to work at FedEx! Straight hell. I start at Amazon in a few weeks kinda excited lol
Fuck ups
@@Owatupcuz I just quit ups going to Amazon now lol
They give you one day of training then the 2nd day you work they expect you to know everything and to do your own thing
That’s cap, they give u 2-3 days of training
@@quinterorafa9699 hell nahh they don’t they give you one day and that’s it
@@heartlessxo1445 idk what amazon u working at but the one i work at gave me 3 training days
I got one day of training too (10hour shift) but I was also a flex schedule employee
That's every job almost lol
Love the video. I work at a sort center for almost year now. Literally the easiest paying job for me. If I cant find a scanner, I'll just help build pallets. If someone wants to move me around, I'll just tell them that I'm helping another associate. I agree that training should be longer. I just faked it like I knew what I was doing until someone came to show me how to do it correctly. It was hilarious when I was learning how to work a pallet jack. A manager had to come up to show me how to use one
Lol I start tomorrow at the sortation center in Berkley, MO. I appreciate the honest feedback.
Yes! My first experience working for the FC in my area was so frustrating I quit in my second week simply because it was SOOO disorganized and it would take them hours to get all of the new hires situated into stations with all the equipment needed to work. When allowed to actually do my job I had no problem hitting rates but hated the downtime that was out of my control.
I am trying again in a new department though so hopefully this time is better.
I am about to quit, been there a year working part time and the problem I have is with the management, they don't know how to talk to people , the training sucks and when you ask them how to do something because you have never done it before the do catch attitudes. It is the biggest revolving door I've ever seen. So many people coming and going. And yes there is always a shortage of walkie talkies and those little handheld dolphins. Those rates they want you to keep is unreal. And they act as if you are supposed to know everything about every position. Amazon needs to teach their managers about how to deal with people cause the majority of them do not know how to manage people. And the pay could be upgraded to about 17.50 an hour cause 15.00 an hr is bacically what minimum wage should be across the country. So I've been pissed off more nights than I've been happy there.
This. And please don’t know how to do your job... better... boy will they sabotage you
Part time is bearable never do full time it’s really hard labor Amazons starting pay is now at $17.50 plus some shift differentials
I feel like Amazon is for anti social people but if your an extrovert I feel like this job is very draining for them
FACTZ, I’m kinda anti social, so that’s probably why I lasted so long, I been there for like 2years now lol
I feel like I’ll survive then. I hate talking to people lol
I’m pretty much a quiet person but I still felt like most of the people at my site acted like they were afraid to talk or something. It’s like you had to sneak a conversation in or something..lol
I don't think you know what anti social mean
I’m an introvert but I don’t like prison.
girl yes!!! I lasted 6-7 weeks, but it was not worth staying for basically the same reasons and others. things look up right after you quit! it's an experience and when you know what you know, you do what's best for you. in my opinion, just don't do it if you don't have to! I could write a whole blog post on this but I'm so glad I quit. that's funny, I didn't notice the quitting part on the app but I sent it to HR with a relatively quick response.
This was my experience. I quickly took a contract position for accounting to return back to my career path, but the contract job found someone so I'm unemployed again, and have to wait 90 days to re-apply to that warehouse because I really need a job. I'm still applying for accounting positions (only permanent ones) while waiting.
Very, very professional presentation. Great job, I've worked at Amazon (Wholefoods) and you are so on point, it's not just the warehouse where this happens. It is most definitely a leadership issue at the organization.
Amazon is like Walmart. They hire a 100 people in hopes that 5-10 are stupid enough to stick around. We might think they are disorganized or incompetent but they know exactly what they are doing. Never forget that.
This the one
Weak people
So you walk around desperately trying to find a scanner. OH! Here's one. Clearly, no one is using it, I'll get it. Ten seconds later, 'Somebody stole my scanner!'
haha pretty much
If she just walked to another department and asked for a scanner she can get one. I go to jackpot everyday and I can get one. Or talk to your P.A and say " can you pick up some scanners for us so when we come in we can do our job" . This generation can't seem to solve problems at all
Ask questions
People are people …don’t rely on anyone
Lead by example
@@alucard2010 they dont tell u shii bout dat .. how we supoosed to kno dat? ... they literally dont evem tell u where restrooms /break rooms are u have to find em ur self when u get hired
@@alucard2010 i think she said “my location” from the begging...
I just started working in an Amazon warehouse. Luckily for me, leadership their is VERY serious and everything runs like clockwork, aside from the minor things that are bound to happen eventually, IE technical issues, spills, etc. But two of my fellow recent hires told me that at other locations, it was a disaster, just as you explained in the video. When it comes down to it, the first indicator of a good Amazon location to work at is management.
Your critique about the scanners is spot on. Well said.
That might be true in the warehouse. Boxing, stowing, and picking have scanners at each station.
@@harpomianre6228 stowing is low on scanners too..the only way to guarantee you would get a scanner that worked was to arrive 30mina early to your shift
Show up a little earlier and boom scanner.
Bruhhh three years ago my first job was amazon and someone literally did that they stole my scanner and the next day I got talked to the manager and had to be retrained good thing I was only seasonal
I just had an interview for the Area Manager role at amazon and I'm so grateful for your info and problems you faced. If hired I will make sure to focus on these issues for my team.
That’s awesome!
You want some advice from a soon to be former area manager? You've probably started by now, if not do some more research, read some reviews from former and current Area managers from indeed. I will strongly advise you to BE AWARE.
It's going to be an uphill battle. If there aren't changes now, it means something.
Great quick was to get out out by your higher ups it starts at the top!! Good luck
No you won't Kimberly Alvarez, they won't let you do that, they have a system and you WILL follow it to a T or you will be fired and called not a team player..
So so so TRUE!! There are so many scanners that are broken or dead or possessed. And they also don’t properly train half the staff on certain things
This shit is hilarious about throwing you around and rolling their eyes lmao spot on in most warehouse jobs
What you said is true. When I worked at Amazon, there have been times where there weren't enough scanners around. Then, I would spend 1 hour looking for one. There were many times that my scanner got stolen. Another problem is that people hoard, keep their scanner, make it their own without returning the scanner to the scanner shelf after using it. Another problem is when you come to work and there aren't enough walkie talkies. Again, people keep them without returning them in after use. I've seen people put scanners, walkie talkies in their lockers.
Same. I only was there 4 days. They act one way towards you.Then they turn to another being.I couldn’t be around strange energy.
I love how people think if you aren’t willing to do back breaking work for 80 hrs a week then you’re “soft with no work ethic” sorry but I’m not willing to waste my life away doing depressing work so I can please older generations who believe all we’re here for is to eat sleep work and then die
@pillsbury coonboy ya, I feel like so many people don’t understand how dirty and corrupt the corporations are. And if you refuse to let someone treat you badly and make you do back breaking work with mandatory overtime you get labeled as a snowflake and just want handouts. Like, sorry to those people who willingly gave up their life and health to work those jobs. But to me, doing that every day, week after week, year after year, for your whole life isn’t really living. We’re just ants to them.
@@stephanieg8545 Most people have work because they think it is necessary but they dont think in that time what you work you could have learned many new things and had character development dont waste your life away working for someone else what doesn't even notice you
When your young you think you have many hours to waste for work but if your old every week is maby your last and it's more precious
LOL "please older generations." While Amazon is a horrible place to work and people should in no way assume all jobs are like this, you sound like a textbook Millennial who thinks everything should be handed to them. If you don't like the work, quit, but don't come up with this "us vs the boomers" bullshit to justify you hating your job.
well what if you have to actually pay rent and other bills lol
After a few days of training one of my manager’s comes up to me saying I wasn’t doing anything for 20 minutes according to the tech system. That’s the time added up of me “not doing the job” 🙄 I told him to check the cameras bc I was always doing something. I’m just slow bc I’m new and I’m learning new things smfh
I’m a current Amazon employee been there about 6 weeks. I do the inbound stow and I have to say it sucks. It’s definitely one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had. The quota they want you to make for stow time is ridiculously high and they micromanage constantly. Your body will hurt constantly from going at 100% for the 10 hour shift. And it doesn’t leave you much time to have a life outside of work. The little time you do have you will be tired and sore. It’s definitely not worth it.
Exactly
Some of us want money bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣 idc what the work is
@@99g67 made 1k last week during prime and I'm a L1 stow
Wait you don’t have 3 days off?
Yesss! The speed they want you to go for 10 hrs is so freaking unrealistic!
It sounds like Amazon has been taking notes from the overseas sweatshops that supply them tbh
Stumbled upon your channel awesome video and very informative. 👍
P.S. most of these points you made resonate with me so I understand where your coming from.
I just started back in December. I’m in receiving I believe it’s called. The job isn’t that bad. But everyday I show up I’m like if they fire me I won’t be upset. My first day I was told to process things one way. Now it’s January and have been told 5 different ways to do things. So every day could be my last. Lol
Dose any one know if hitting that 42 rate is possible? Cause no matter how fast I move they say my rate is only 37. And thats me flying through items.
Lol
I probably wasn’t even hitting the rates during prime day lol. You seem to have a good attitude about the whole thing though. 👍🏻
It’s so ridiculous.. too many people thinking they are in charge.. walking around scrutinising every little thing you are doing.. scaring you to not be the “offender’s list”… yes, everyone telling you “no that’s not how you do it, you should be doing it this way”. Confused as fuck and the second you ask a question they are angry or inconvenienced 🥴🤪
Those old people are so rude. It’s your youth young lady and you have a very kind face and diminor. The best to you and may your future be bright.👍🏼
Thanks so much! I appreciate it ☺️
@@Tiki_Tee_ I think he meant "demeanor" but I agree. And cute too!
Everything she says is 100% dead accurate. The new launch I'm at is an actual hell hole. The worst management ever. And the first thing all the idiots did was strip off all the tape and flags that designated equipment to specific departments and steal everything which does contribute to a hostile environment. She's so right about this. And the managers act like it's not a problem if there are no scanners or computers or radios, as if it's not one of the top aspects of their freaking jobs to make sure the workers have the tools to get the job done. The whole thing is trash.
I work at Amazon Arizona location and they have plenty of scanners! Stealing scanners is ignorant but it happens?
The trainer's are nice in the training to get that positive survey.
Not always true
I feel u about the Scanners problems at Amazon, when I first started working at Amazon they used to always run out of scanners’ or if u leave your scanner down for a second’ somebody will take it..it was real frustrating
So how do you know when you actually need to clock in/out if it’s different from your scheduled time?
You’ll receive a paper on your first day that will tell you which time to clock in. It depends where in the alphabet your last name lies.
It's on your ATo Z app
Hi last time I work in Amazon kt Singapore n what u said is true...so on second day I quit the job ,now I work as quality checker the best job that I have,ya I know the salary at Amazon is a good paid but u know their management is bad
Loool I'm in UK Amazon and this sounds soooo familiar!!😂😂👍🏾
I been there since june and it honestly is bad, the managers and the people who tell you “6ft apart” are annoying. Im working on a side hustle to quit that job before im 19 in may
I hated mine too..I quit in a week😂
@@Lulu-yepeyo sacked in a week
It’s annoying cause you can’t hear anyone unless they’re right next to you
Stay 6 feet apart and they won' yell at you. If you are not happy change it. Ask to be trained, do a internal transfer, transfer to another building. Ask about learning ambassador. The job and how you make it is in your hands 🙄
@@Lulu-yepeyo better not join the military, you would quit in a day 🙄
Good on you for knowing your worth more.In the end of our life all the work experience doesn't mean much good or bad.So continue with what feels right get a degree ,then maybe help make a better planet.Helping others is the way to go,hope this doesn't sound weird but God does love you.All the learning and ups and downs that will follow,Jesus is solid foundation. Congradulations
Can anyone tell me why you’re not supposed to wear a watch. Also are cellphones allowed to be carried on person while working?
I had my lunch stolen right from the break room refrigerator a few weeks ago. I keep my food in the guard shack now. No one messes with it there. Yes, I did have times when scanners didn't work when i was doing non con. And some scanners had the safety straps ripped out or taken off, and i needed those to be able to scan effectively. It was also sometimes very hard to find a charged battery. These were oftentimes common work day hazards. I did try to get there a little bit early to get a good scanner and battery before they were gone. My building also has a parking lot that is a pain to get in and out of and people would back into a parking space and block traffic as they stop in the middle of the traffic lane and back into a space. It drove me nuts. When I went to the new fulfillment center this past summer, the parking lot there was bigger, so I didn't have that issue and, despite the large number of people there, no one there stole my food. I did have one rude experience with one of the packing team ambassadors when I tried to ask for help. I told the learning team coordinator about it, as I was an ambassador myself, so I knew who to talk to about it. Ambassadors are supposed to be very helpful and for the most part, we try to be. This is just a little about my past experiences there. I'm in logistics now for peak on a seasonal assignment on TOM team, back at my sort center.
Wow that’s wild. I’m glad that’s a better location all around it seems.
@davidadler how do you or did you like being on the TOM team? I’ve been on the TOM team in Colorado for a little over a year now. This week I’m testing at the DMV to get my CDL permit.
I remember working at Amazon in 2017, and I had a bag of mini pack m&m with 6 packs from Dollar Tree, and someone stole 3 packs out of the refrigerator. I wanted my candy to be cold, so I just started leaving them in my locker.
Im.about to go for my second training and that was one of the problems the first day for real I never get to train on the scanner
I got moved to pick yesterday because of my schedule change and I only get two days of training and then I'm left on my own to figure things out. Can't wait to have questions and not know who to ask 👌
You are very right!
Many of the direct managers ( Not the general Manager) are outside hired and had not been managing their group for a long time or never managed anyone before Amazon. So you already knew how they are.
Lots of the equipments are not maintained properly on daily basis and many are broken when you start to use at your shift , this is why associates will just take others working equipments or tools from the work stations which are not in use at the time.
No different then any other job. ,🙄
One thing you gotta do there is stick up for
yourself or they will run over you.A manager
tried to come at me about some B.S. when I
know I was in the right after about 6 minutes
she stepped off and left me alone cause she
knew I wasn't down with her B.S.
It's 2 days of training it should be a week training I definitely agree with you on that
I’m afraid I’d be talking to upper management due to the fact I’ve had multiple positions in a large food distribution warehouse in my 40 years. Definitely sounds like they need an Undercover Boss with Bezos. Then again, he might not care in his present social/economic position.
Okay, I can confirm right away that number of scanners issue is everywhere. Actually literally everything you discussed here are accurate to my own experience.
Wait...how did someone steal their scanner? There’s a harness that has a clip where you put your scanner so it doesn’t fall... or did the group I get in just get lucky? 😅
This video was very informative. I’ve never wanted to work for Amazon but I love watching these videos. I’m curious of what that marketing job you’re looking into? I’m looking for something new currently :)
The marketing job actually ended up being a scam/pyramid scheme type company so I ran! Are you looking for a marketing type position?

no
What warehouse did you work at ( NJ )
How did you get a. Marketing position ? Did you have previous marketing experience ?
You don't need experience being a white woman is good enough...
@@jasminedtucker true
That is true about the 3 days training, I had this same treatment at my current warehouse job that I quite last night. I was moving pallet and sorting but I had a question and he seemed annoyed with a question. I was like wow okay.
I am working pretty quick from watching my co-workers.
This was a warehouse job but not Amazon. It is frustrating enough to let it go. I really like the job though.
I just got a job at Amazon and this makes me super nervous. How in the hell am I supposed to get my exact lunch time if I’m on the phones? Thanks for posting this, appreciate it. I now know what I need to prepare for.
i’m sure u can see it’s fine. Not bad at all.
I can completely agree with your reasoning of why you had left as far as them not having enough scanners!
I actually had that same exact issue at my specific warehouse.. and that definitely was very aggravating since it had taken me a good amount of my shift time just to find one to be able to work. I also had decided to ultimately leave cause I just didn’t want to continue and I was unhappy for a while. I actually just left and resigned as of a couple of days ago now, I feel better and will find a better job for me.
Working in a warehouse environment overall wasn’t what I’d prefer.
For the new hires, What is the expected number of scanned boxes per hour?
90 in my warehouse and 350 for small seasonal flat envelopes
We started out wanting 180 for regular packages and 400 for smalls and 1000 for gaylord smalls. At the time I left the sort floor, they wanted 145 for regular packages, 80 for large packages, 600 for smalls and 1200 for Gaylord smalls
300 scanned as a stower was mine. that included boxes, jiffys & so on.
Definitely have the same scanner issues at my location. If you don’t get there early enough you’re pretty much guaranteed to wait about a half hour before you can do any work and are just left standing there feeling like an idiot.
Right...That was the main reason I quit, I come to work to work not search for a scanner, that was soooooo aggravating
this happens just becuse the previous shift doesn't care less about you and nobody put the devices in recharge. Same here in UK. Each morning I go angry because that!
Was this a relatively new building? The scarcity of scanners is relatively common in all jobs, but I think my building has made strides in assuring we have sufficient on hand.
i work at the atl sort center and they have plenty of scanners to go around. the only this is most of them cannot attach to the harness or sling
sounds like a nightmare! glad things are looking up now. no one should be treated that way.
Thanks! I agree. I hope Amazon can learn to improve themselves.
Trust me it's not always that way
@@alucard2010 Definitely. There are many people who have completely different experiences than mine and that’s great! Again, my intention wasn’t to bash the company, but to instead explain my personal reasons for leaving.
So sad for the money to live in America for us young workers
It's good for an entry level job. Amazon has tuition assistance, if you want to further your career. They don't expect reimbursement or servitude after you complete your education. Amazon doesn't ask for a job history or educational background from the last guy I helped with the application.
Please tell me it’s not the sort center in Edison New Jersey
Will they blacklist anyone who leaves within a week or so?
Woah that location must suck! I loved working at my location!
I just viewed the whole video and I'm glad you didn't stick around and put up with their crap. I've had experiences at jobs where I'm a target to negative emplyers to where I have cussed out a few or walked out those toxic job work places .
Weak people
Hi there - did you need to do heavy lifting? and a lot?
Hello, You are so helpful! I have a question, I applied for Amazon, I did not even get to orientation. I stopped the process before then. They paid me for filling out paperwork which was very nice. But now they want their laptop back! What are they talking about? I’m supposed to FedEx it to them! They seem very disorganized! Did you get a laptop and if so, what is it for? Thanks for your info!
What kind of position did you apply for? I’ve never heard that before. I never received a laptop.
I been working there over a year and so far good. And amazon is keeping me in shape.
Basically they pay you for walking, which is good to your body..
Only thing I don’t like is the short break time, and 2 mangers in the warehouse that keep on flirting with me.
Female managers?
20 minute breaks are long breaks. 15 minutes is standard everywhere else. What kind of break you want 9 hours and 45 minutes and get paid for your whole day?
@pillsbury coonboy what are you talking about? I'm there 10 hours absolutely no one stays anything if I go to the bathroom our breaks are 20 minutes and lunch is 30. 0 breaks you getting your info from a terrible source my friend. Stick to the facts and stop listening to the propaganda machine known as the mainstream media
Or maybe your managers are just being nice and you are just misinterpreting.
Amazon destroys your body that’s my opinion Amazon definitely will help you lose pounds if that’s what you mean lol
I thought about applying to Amazon but have read and heard so many negative thoughts about the company. Thanks for the information.
Everybody is different. You should try! I like it
@@lumarismojica6550 That’s definitely true!
hii! i just got accepted for a position and have my interview hire next week- however i’m just wondering in the fact that i do leave fairly soon they did pay you for the week you did work right? and your training day? (i saw you say to someone else you got paid after your first two weeks at first)
They pay bi-weekly. That’s probably why. But if you don’t start on the new pay period, you may end up waiting three weeks.
My location paid weekly, but the very first paycheck is after 2 weeks of working.
@@CoffeeBlogs They pay weekly, I start on Thursday.
@@ChelseyIsATotal5SOSFan Guess some pay weekly to try to maintain workers. Someone getting paid biweekly is more likely to quit over harsh conditions.
Caught lackin with the scanners 😂😂
The turnover at those hubs has to be absurd. The people who call in or never show up again has to be astronomical. Unionize, it's time for people to get paid and be respected.
amazons turnover rate is 100.9% lmao
People aren't going to go anywhere because they settle its simple, they're brainwashed. Fed Ex is more archaic than Amazon but at least they dont do that points bullshit, its almost like they dont care and its a double edged sword, on hand they dont care so they turn heads and forget on the other they dont care and turn their heads and ignore a blatant problem lol
Amazon employees earns unpaid time off, and my wife has accumulated, I believe 80 hours. If you're late, you can apply your unpaid time off to offset your lateness so that you don't accumulate points. I think full time earns 1 hour a week of unpaid time. I think people who complain about points have used up many hours of unpaid leave. This is different from paid time off and vacation.
@@someperson8151 not for a seasonal employee
Amazon fights unions tooth and nail. And they're bigger with more money :(
YES it's a very common problem people stealing your scanner and it's even worse during peak season. They stole my scanner and my manager scolded me demanding that I have to attach a strap with the scanner. Good for you that you quit . I bet you don't regret it one little bit
Can I work at Amazon am 17 still in school and want to work part time or is it only full time
You think 17$ an hour is worth it?
I’ve worked at ups. Is amazon really worse?
No way!! Ups is horrible compared to amazon
Working at Amazon makes you question your bloody existence
The scanner issue is always going to be a problem, it was an issue with USPS too. People are lazy and they get scanners they leave them and don’t put them back they get lost and boom no scanners.
I worked as a dispatcher in a hertz location near the airport (we handled about 500 to 600 cars in that location) we used tablets with scanners to register the cars, and they were essential to do the job that I had assigned, literally every day I spent almost an hour after my shift started trying to get a damn tablet!
A lot of industries! I served at a restaurant that operated off toast and we didn't have enough handheld.
At an auction I worked at we would be short on peak times with full staff.
Adapt and overcome lol
The point at the end you made about "Thinking of leaving Amazon" speaks volumes.
ive always had trouble finding an available station as well, making it take forever to start actually working. and also, boxes and materials were very difficult to find at times.
Some people stay longer and some people don't. If you are dire for a job to make bill payments, you just to stick to it. Even grocery stores are so competitive in my area, it's hard to get a job. I've been looking for a job for a year now but technically I've been fully focus on getting job six months ago. There's nothing on the horizon. I'm in the tourism industry but it's completely non existent now.
It's great to know what to expect before I really apply for the job.
the scanner thing boils down to managerments poor accountability of the scanners they have assigned to their department. If they are running out of scanners they can reach out to IT department to get more but their request will typically get denied when they tell IT they only have 50* scanners and IT has 75* assigned to them.
Wait they threw a pallet jack did u go to the hospital?,did u get bruzez?, is it like army ? Do they make u do push ups if u dont meet your time on pakeges?
Worse.....they didn't give her enough training.
When do u find out which job u will be doing ?
I agree completely, I quit after 2 weeks because it was pathetic working for them. I love warehouse jobs but at amazon they never have there shit together and over work there employees
My first day will be tomorrow . After i saw ur video really i dont know what i have to do ! Shall i try and see how it will goes . Or just resign before starting work .
But with some other videos i saw . I think what u said makes sense . And that i was afraid of also . Oh god . Iam not sure what i have to do now .
I was exited to work there . Now iam little bit worry about it . My warehouse in montreal
I would try it out! It really all depends on your location. Maybe you’ll luck out with a good one. Worst comes to worst, you try it out and in the process make some extra money.
I showed up for the second day of training per my shift and no one from class was there 😂 and they had to find someone to help train me randomly 😂 I just walked away.
Did you still get paid I start Sunday wen you think imma get paid?
It's not easy being an Amazombie. But at least, having a foot in the door.
Omg girl, I hope my comment will reach you. Thanks for speaking the truth. I've been an amazon seasonal sortation associate for 2 weeks, and regardless of my financial situation, I REALLY WANT TO QUIT. The reason #2 is all about it. That is ridiculous. They don't even give me sick days. I felt sick. And eventually they added 1.5 points to point systems. Thanks to your video, I am now so certain to leave this place and find another place better than it. Best!
It’s because your seasonal. When they open up blue badge conversions apply for it and you will start getting PTO and UPT hours
I had pto as a white badge and they said 6 points to be terminated but the warehouse I was at has a high turnover rate they won’t terminate you unless you have 12 points.
that first one hit hard ..I used to stow at amazon and the hardest part of the job was finding a scanner at the start of your shift there were either none or no batteries or the scanners there were not able to connect to the internet ..so by the time you get to scanning your first item, you're 20mims into your shift (late)
Does anyone know details about fresh foods? I’m starting in a few weeks.
I just started. Leadership all seems lost and clueless. My biggest issue is that there wasn’t a member of HR in orientation (4 hrs) to answer basic questions. The individuals I had to interact with were apparently on the “training path”. One was burned out and didn’t care to be helpful. The other was brand new and didn’t know anything.
There is a complete lack of information at Amazon. No one knows how anything works, or who to contact about issues. They have a dry erase board where members can write suggestions on the board such as “add xyz food to the break room” but I don’t think suggestions are ever acted on by management
Since I’m in outbound ship dock it takes me about 5 minutes to walk to the front of the building. Up front they have an immaculate break room full of coolers, lockers, video games, and a coffee machine. The break room we have in the back is tiny, has a limited selection of anything, and there are definitely no games or tvs in it. I also don’t think the sc”air conditioner works in it. You could walk back out on the floor and be at least 10 degrees cooler.
Overall I’m not impressed. Two days of being protected by training status and on the 3rd day they threw us to the wolves. I honestly have a feeling they take bets and go out of their way to see who they can break and get to quit. (Management)
It’s also very clicky*, gossipy, and back stabbing. Big red flag. I don’t trust management and I damn sure don’t trust the guy working next to me.
This
Yes, I swore I heard management betting on who will quit
One week isn’t long enough to get a feel for the company. Each facility is different.
14 hours isn’t enough for anything except a first date.
Yes it is… if it’s a horrible place.
I have heard that after a year you can reapply. I think stowing was the wrong position for me. I would be still working if I delivered totes to the stow lines. I made 17.00 working 3 days Fri, Sat, and Sun. My 4th day was Mon. When the holidays started or for Prime. 12 hrs a day. The time went fast. The step stool is what will get you. My knees become swollen. So I decided to quit. The I pad people let you know everyday how much you pulled and what you need to work on. The job is at a constant pace. You are on a timer. The stations all had scanners. So that was not a problem in stowing.
Hi, If I were you and I was working at Amazon and could quit because of all the reasons you gave I would have done the same thing too!!!!! Also I like the color of your walls and your fall decor!!!! Hope you get a better job!!! Good luck to you!!!!!!
