      At my Fulfillment Center when you walk in the front door past the security desk then the HR desk and next to HR is a large white board with the Stow and Pick AM's names assigned to the various floors and you're supposed to go to the floor your AM is assigned to. There's also another section next to the floors for Labor Share and if they have any Labor Share available if you're trained in THAT department you can ignore the floor your AM is on and go directly to the Labor Share department. If you DON'T go to the department you will likely get a message that pops up on your screen soon after you log in telling you to log off and report to the department

    I worked in sortation for about a year and a half and I believe the location matters, because they might do things differently. Myself and a lot of coworkers hate sortation. No longer do you pick what you are doing. They assign everyone differently daily and it hurts the ones that cant do or expect certain jobs. In the line just pulling boxes to your spot, packing them into pallets or crates for waterspiders to wrap and move after is okay, except during peak season where you will get bombarded with packages so much that your aisles are blocked. Inbound is really harsh on your body especially if you are older. Inbound removing boxes from trucks was the worse for me. During covid, they only allowed one person in the trailer and most of the time, other warehouses would put super heavy boxes on top. A big no no. So you would have to do it alone, even though you're supposed to ask for help with heavy boxes. They don't allow help because of covid. People got hurt and were in pain daily because heavy boxes would fall on them. I was also a learning ambassador, and did more work then everyone else but got paid the same. I should have just stayed a normal employee. To those who are thinking about working at sortation, its really labor intensive and hard work. If you're comming out of high school that should be fine, but anyone else who is a bit older, I wouldn't recomend it.

    I'm a Learning Ambassador at COS5 Sort. When I'm not walking day 1's through the center, I'm usually training Day 2's in Staging, Water Spider, or Non Con. I like Staging the best. Non Con isn't bad when it's not peak. Scanning Mechlite or Linear sucks, but not as much as Water Spider Base wrapping hurts this old man's knees. Oddly enough, I've only worked Fluid/Inbound twice, Falcon eye for about a week, and never got trained in Problem Solving.
    You left out how heavy the metal bedframes are. That's the part I hate about Non Con.
    Fun fact, I had a Day 1 quit on me in the middle of a tour when we passed Mechlite D where the rollers were jammed up, boxes falling, people tripping over each other, just a mass of confusion. This girl saw that and said "Nope, I'm not doing that" and walked out.

    • @EdwinLaCroix

      The scanner tracks you. So as you scan , you get a scan rate that pops up that counts by increments of 4 . As long as you have a scan rate on your scanner you’re good. If you aren’t labor tracked and are not scanning, you’ll fall into what is called a Time Off Task. They’ll come find you and either write you up or just tell you to get back to work

I was thinking it was going to be one job, one station and clock in and do the same job for 4 hours a day ( part time seasonal) and then clock out? Who tells you where to go when you arrive at work so you know where to go ? Is it quite the job where you are by yourself at a fast pace? Just overthinking as I haven't done orientation yet.

    • @EdwinLaCroix
      @EdwinLaCroix  2 года назад +3

      You’ll see during orientation, but the first step after scanning in lanes for a couple weeks is to do staging or be a water spider.

      Wym ? For Amazon there are three different facilities I think, fulfillment: where you put the items in the box and tape it up, sortation : where those boxes come to us and we organize them to different locations to be shipped out and then the last one where they actually get put in vans for delivery.
      I recommend sortation and just do what I’m doing In the video

      It depends on what job you're assigned. At the very least, expect to walk 4+ miles each shift. If you are in Non Con, there's quite a bit of manual labor. That's where the big and/or heavy packages go. You will learn to hate metal bed frames if you ever get assigned Non Con.

      They’ll labor track you, and usually they have to clear you in the system to train in certain areas so it’ll pop up that you haven’t been trained . You’re still labor tracked but it’ll show up on someone computer and either they’ll ignore it or come find you.

    I've been at a sort center for a month now and as soon as I was eligible to be trained in other things I did that cause scanning in the lanes is just not it lol. Hate dealing with shitty pallets cause people are too lazy to properly build one. I'm primarily in bagland (not sure if that's a universal name for that section), but I've been trained for sort slide and pickoff. I'll do any of those 3 before doing lanes lol. I hate non-con. My building never seems to have enough people over there to do team lift with so I'm not breaking my back doing that.

      Lol they won’t put you on a truck if you’re visibly small. If you’re small and you’re on a truck then you asked to be on it. Some trucks are 100% small boxes so anyone can unload those. You’d probably be on one of those trucks unloading those mini boxes. The ones with huge desks and etc are just the bigger guys mostly. You’d be sideloading tbh. DO SORTATION!!

    Hello I have a question… I got hired at Amazon and my start date isn’t until the 18th of September. I’ve done the mydocs now just waiting on orientation video. Today I was looking at other schedule for the same position and I found a shit with my same days time and possible start date but the pay was higher so I selected. When I selected it canceled my original start date appointment. Does this mean I don’t have the job no more? What do I do now?

    • @EdwinLaCroix
      @EdwinLaCroix  3 года назад +1

      So you found another Amazon job with the same shift times but greater pay? Same Warehouse?
      There’s a site where you can see all of your open Amazon applications . But if you’ve been hired and have done the drug test and took your ID picture you’re already onboarded.
      You’d have to go in and resign manually or be fired for missing work at this point. Maybe email your local HR or pull up to the warehouse yourself to get direct answers. If you call, they’ll give you the run around and never answer your questions or help you foreal lol . Well that’s just from my experience. I’m actually about to go in and resign today actually lol

    • @candicenelson6271
      @candicenelson6271 3 года назад

      I mean I would imagine unless you cancelled an active application you wouldn’t have it but if you have a schedule on your AtoZ app then you good. But the only job you can get is the associate job which is $15.50. If it’s higher than that idk, you may have to double check that. Raises only come after months of working.

      Yea you’ll be scheduled for at least one double per week. So TWI (2-6/7pm) and NIGHT sort (7:45 - 11/12:45) for example. Then two more days of work so you’ll have at least 24-32 hours per week. They drop Voluntary Extra Time where you pick up shifts so you can work 50-60 hours a week if you want to honestly.
