Hi everyone! It looks like the RUclips algorithm has pushed this video to more viewers! I worked at Amazon for two years and recently quit back in the summer. Lmk what you wanna know more about my experience! Thanks! :)
Hey how can I apply to work in the warehouse?
How did you get the opportunity. There website or would you recommend going to a location.
@@WyattKing. go to their website, put your location in and it will show you a list of open positions in surrounding areas from where you are. theres no interview, you do onboarding stuff like any job and set a date for orientation. the moment you pick a position and confirm it, it will say your possible start date
Ya, when you pay to boost it... that's what happens 😅
I AM glad you're happy though! 😊
Dont deny it.. the algorithm doesnt care about your content or feelings. It litterally only cares about your money boost. 😉
2 years is exactly when they want you quit. They say that's when you become complacent/lazy. Probably a good thing, I worked there longer, didn't get lazy but it just got more and more negative.
I lost so much weight working at Amazon and working a couple double shifts every week 😂
Haha fr!!! I remember you told me you’d walk like 10 miles a day😂👌🏼
@@Beathumble how I apply for a job
@@jaroslawkoziarski6873online
Same n I’m a delivery driver 😭 dat shit ooof
It’s really hard to find a warehouse job where I live it literally doesn’t exist at this point. I check constantly and no job postings 😭😭😭😭
thank god i got out of that kind of work. Its ok for the short term, but for a career HELL no. I remember looking at the 20 year guys & thinking they look tired & miserable.
Definitely agree with you career wise it’s a no go haha
@@BeathumbleIm 40 and would struggle with this.....if you are 40+ its 100% not a career option, it'll just get harder as each year passes!
Am I right in thinking they time your break including the time taken to get to the staffroom?
If you're willing to work hard, then you shouldn't be willing to work for 16.50 an hour. Join a trade union and make some real money. That and you'll get treated better and with more respect.
@@joeeley5354 well I can't speak for the whole country, but where I'm at that's 100% the case. We need people. If they don't where you're at, I'm sorry. I guess I'm fortunate.
@@Squidalertwhat job you work for
Amazon hates unions and they shut them down any chance they get
trades are great, BUT a lot of people don't want to deal with the traveling around. To get local work you gotta put in your time.
@@rotnbazturd7569 Depends on where you are. I've never traveled for work and I don't plan on it. Sometimes people want to chase that bigger paycheck.
If they take one hour anyway i am trying to log in on time in 59 min again😂
lol fr, how is that even legal
its perfectly legal.
@@michelep9477
I believe its removing an hour from your bank of "unpaid time off" accrued. So they're not docking pay, they're docking unpaid time you can request off if you want to take days off work. Its still nonsense but making you work an hour for free because you were 5 min late would definitely be illegal.@@michelep9477
It’s not legal.
Sit there and do nothing for an hour
200 dollars PRE TAX for all of that - wow
They are absolutely PLAYING everyone working for Amazon. That song "Sixteen Tons" kept playing in my head the whole video
I doubt it. No one would work 10 hours for less than $200
$200 pre tax for that is absolutely criminal lmfao
One 20 min break for a 10 hour shift that is mad
It’s two 20 minute breaks haha still tough tho
@@Beathumble at our warehouse it's two 30 minutes break which one is paid other unpaid. And that's for working 10 hours
That doesn't sound legal. Does your state have break laws?
I’m pretty sure you’re entitled to a 15 minute break every 2 hours depending on your state
@Beathumble we get 2 30 minute breaks in indiana, if it's a 12 hour shift we get 2 thirty minutes and 1 15 minute break.
Taking an hour for a minute late is fucking insane. I don’t care how many cutesy blogs are made about it. Amazon still looks like a shit job.
ive only ever seen them take off 15 min increments before 1hr is crazy
It is, a sht job by a sht company run by sht people.🗑
amazon dont pay nothing bro, and they fire when they want
I was there for over a year. They fired me through email, at midnight, on my day off for being -1 hour of UPT. I was late to clock in by 6 minutes with 0 UPT remaining after PEAK.. It was a hard time for a little bit after that for me. I’ll never forget how awful that was.
They are so trigger happy when it comes to write ups and firing. Thankfully I didn’t get fired but I got written up over the pettiest shit my manager literally has no life and thinks he’s Jeff Bezos.
Amazon wants you to quit or fires you. Their turnover rate is 150% per year for warehouse workers, and its firm policy to never rehire. Bezos has specifically stated many times that he believes warehouse work should be a summer-type job with very high turnover rates. I find it interesting that so many municipalities pay Amazon to open up in their neighborhood when Amazon has such a high turnover rate.
They pay 21 wym
@@Bigmtj10678do they give raises?
I’ve never worked at Amazon. But if they promote, they’re good workers and let you move up the chain. It might not be a bad deal. Especially if they provide benefits. Benefits are almost more important than the paycheck nowadays. I know people rag on jobs like this but you know what? There’s a lot worse out there.
I’m 40 years old and lost 20 pounds working here lol I look like a young guy now with a hat on
1 second after grace period they take out 1 full hour of UPT? I’d quit right away🤣🤣 that’s theft and working for free
bro i thought it was a minute after if u don’t clock in on time
Hell no even a minute is too much they take away an hour for 1 minute but don’t give us 15.50 for leaving a minute later.
@@Channel24377 i get $16.60 an hour working at Amazon
@@Re4ctionsGoWildyou missed his point lol
Yall aren't to smart huh, so yes it takes upt but you are still paid for that hour you worked, its not working dor free
God bless the waterspider
Yesssssp
Why are you still wearing a mask? It doesn’t nothing for vapor particles that fly in the air, no wonder your tired, your suffocating yourself. Masks do nothing to stop the spread of germs, bacteria or viruses, especially the silly one your wearing in video. I have a science degree and graduated with honors, and wearing a mask is not following the science, only following the sheep into the gates of baaaaaaa news..
If you can find them. 😂 Or if they weren’t VTO’d.
I recently wanted to come off the road, so I went to a temp service and they send me to a warehouse, the first day I had to stand in place for a couples of hours them a 15 mins break and later on a 30 mins break and then later on another 15 mins, I tell you when I left that night my legs were hurting so bad I could barely walk.ok the next day my legs and feets are so sore I when back the next day I was their three hours and 30 mins I told the supervisor I can't stand on my legs and feet are hurting so bad I left that job. With that said I take my hat off to all the warehouse worker's I learned that it's not a easy job when you have to stand for nine or ten hours, while the supervisor can go and sit down and rest themselves, I have all the respect for what you do now.
get insoles
I'm assuming you're American and live in a place where urban planning revolves almost entirely around the car as your primary mode of transport. If you can't do a shift at a warehouse you should perhaps consider that your fitness levels need improving.
I did warehouse work for 6 months and it is the easiest job I have done in my entire life.
@qwerty1131I’m overweight and work at Amazon never had a problem…
you can do it, you have to force yourself the the painful first two to three weeks then it gets easier
Bro wtf they take an hour for one minute?! That’s theft man. Might as well come late. I hope it gets better for you.
Yeah it was hella ridiculous tbh but I think they changed it to the minute now. Not sure now that I left haha. And thank you! I’m a lot less stressed now that I left this job
@@Beathumble So if you are using the wisely card, can you use your regular direct depositor chime direct deposit also?
@@Beathumble no its still the same I left 6 min early and they took an hour of upt.
@@Anti_Social_Yoyo90 i left 1 min early and they took an hour 💀
No they only do that with your unpaid time if he’s out of pto and such that’s his fault you can use pto by the minite
Crazy how little the pay is-I could not imagine. What’s crazy is the supervisors and managers are making double and triple that-yet do nothing. 😂
20 an hour for only a highschool diploma is awesome😂. Workin with people who are like 60 and me being 18 and getting the same pay kinda sucks. Almost like I shouldnt be there.
@@goldtvlive1017I’m 20..On The Same Boat
@@goldtvlive1017Who Complains about Makin A Band A Week In Todays Society🤣
@@kyngjames5624bro only the managers make a band the normal Amazon workers make 550 a week that’s tough
Pretty sure the managers don't make as much as u think they do ...
honestly $200 a day or $800 a week if u work 4 days a week is not bad for a single male in his twenties.....especially when a job like that requires no qualifications.
if u dont blow ur money carelessly and try to save as much as possible, after a couple years u can have $50 grand saved up in which u have the financial freedom to explore ur life options.....or use the money as a downpayment on a house which would go towards the beginning of building wealth and financial security.
This is no suprise. Game over America
I got 2 15min breaks in 10 hr and the 1/2 hour lunch. I never did the water spider job. But I did do a couple other jobs there. The pace is relentless. If you’re in like the lower 20% on your numbers someone will show up with their clipboard and start asking questions. There is a camera on everyone. Sometimes they will review that to see what may be slowing you down. I saw so many people screwing around it was amazing. You were not supposed to use your phone at all while working but I saw people on their phone for the whole shift. Some watched videos all night. You could usually see anyone coming giving them ample time to avoid getting caught. Some people took a bathroom break every hour for like 15 minutes. If asked they would claim some medical condition. One girl said she was diabetic and had to eat something every hour. That means she was in the lunchroom every hour for 15 minutes. Even with weed being illegal where I live you could smell weed all the time. At lunch the same people would rush out to their car to drink alcohol and smoke a blunt. Some would vape it all night long at their station. So it may suck to work there sometimes but the company also has to deal with a lot of useless workers.
Stay safe at work...
Thanks Kuya! I already quit this job haha
@@Beathumble why did you quit?
@@Beathumble I heard working at an Amazon warehouse is pure misery. Like, they time how long you take a piss.
@@miguelsolis9349because it is a tough job bro.
20 min breaks? Double overtime? What warehouse is this😂
Keep buying Jeff Bezos another yacht.
I swear I was working at Amazon and saw a older gentlemen asking for help carrying the bag. I was so 😌 Amazon should have different sections for older people.
I do 12 hours (not at Amazon) 6 am to 7 wears me out looking for something else before I jump off a cliff from the stress 🤪
Did you find something new?
Just quit. You're not tough enough
Please, do anything else. The minimum wage is not worth your stress. Start learning a trade. Or get in sales. Start your own hustle even.
I joined amazon air i have to walk 25-30 miles a day😭😭😭and its 1 month i looze 28 lbs😭😭
How are you clearing 25 miles walking in a work shift? Do you work 12+hr shifts
Lmfao straight robbery
you can serve for 6 hours at a restaurant and make more bro 😔
I can vouch for that. Restaurants are also better to work for.
For real. I was a server at a restaurant. Including tips, I was getting $25+/hour.
You meet new people everyday, get free food, chill work environment, flexible schedule, etc.
Sortation area is the easiest job at amazon. Try doing order selector that has a dry, cold, and freezer section where you need to hit over 180 cases an hour and each one weighing 50-95 lbs and if people called in which is like almost everyday you would have to do a 16 hour shift a day. Amazon pay is shit but the good thing is the job is super light and easy and you get to pick your days and time with your shift, you dont have to work the straight 8-16 hours a day, you get some gaps to take another shift meaning you can eat, rest, and stretch out your body to relax before hitting the next shift. I actually do Amazon part time now during holidays only for that extra christmas money to get my family and friends some decent gifts. Since I have a solid 40 hour warehouse job somewhere else I only do Amazon five days 4 hours each at late shift. That extra paycheck really helps out a lot during the holidays.
$200 pre tax, for 10 hours. That's $20/hr, not a living wage in the vast majority of the US.
Just keep your spending low that’s more than 4K a month lol
At 5 days a week that nets you $4,000 pre tax. Assuming 30% is taken out for taxes and benefit premiums you are left with $2,800. In my town the cheapest apartments are $1,800 for tiny 1 bedrooms. That leaves you with $1,000 a month to cover gas, insurance, utilities food, household needs, any healthcare deductibles, etc....
It's not a question of keeping spending low, the cost of living is high, and the minimum wage was designed to be the minimum salary a person needed to support a family with basic needs.
At this wage a person couldn't support themselves, much less a family. There is zero reason to pay employees this little, especially from a multi billion dollar company like Amazon.
@@NavDDG54 I make 19/ hour and make 1k a week after tax. Your numbers are off. It is a matter of spending less. Rents 1,800 ? Move in w your parents or rent a room. Knowingly starting a family making 20/ an hour is selfish. Yes there is zero reasons for a multi billion $ company to pay that low. But there is also zero reason to complain because that gets you no where. I’d love to complain abt my parents not being rich but that gets me no where.
@@pimpmac4993 The average taken out of a paycheck for taxes + benefits is 30%. My math is an accurate based on averages, your single anecdote is not proof of anything other than the how averages work.
Knowingly. So for example, people who are divorced, widowed, etc.. and are working the only job they can after the primary earner is no longer present are selfish. Got it.
Not everyone has parents they can move in with, and renting rooms is nice - if available. I just looked at Craigslist the closest room to where I live (which is close to but not in a major city) under $1,400 is almost an hour away.
Minimum wage was instituted to be the minimum wage needed to raise a family on a single income. If minimum wage had matched inflation as it was supposed to have done, it would be a national average of $26.16/hour.
Regions with higher cost of living should have higher minimum wages.
Advocating for a union to change the situation does get you places, it is the proper way to address grievances, and is often the only way to compel employers to pay a decent wage. Since they'll spend billions lobbying congress to avoid having to spend millions on higher wages.
@@pimpmac4993Spending low or not with gas rent and food you really can’t afford much especially where I live in AZ. Time for me to move maybe so. But nearly everybody is struggling nowadays. 4K a month in Mississippi gets you way more than anything out west unless you live in Montana or the Dakota’s.
So they don't give you an extra hour of pay if your 5 minutes early?
Joining as an area manager at Amazon soon. Thanks for the video.
Amazon is easy but during peak it's hectic hahah but we make it through
nah seriously lol prime week is a trip too
Damn that’s awesome. I remember working at a warehouse to pay for college. 8-12 hour shifts for 6 days a week. Amazon’s pay seems much better
In 2012 i had to do 12hr days and got 2 10min breaks and 1 20min lunch 😂 was as close to a sweat shop as they can legally get
Try consecutive 12 hour overnight shifts. Got a lot of money. I dont work there anymore.
We get a 15 minute paid break, then 30 minute unpaid lunch(I say an hour is needed, 10 hour shifts) then last 15 min. unpaid break. Feels like I sit down then break's already over
Not to mention the time it takes to get off the floor and to wherever you are spending your minuscule break at.
we get a 30 minute unpaid lunch and a 30 minute paid break at my facility 💀
20 min break for the entire 10 hour shift?? bye
I think they get 20 min breaks every 4 hours worked
@@inwiththenew41415 min every 2 hrs &30 min
At least when I was working in warehousing I had 3/ 45min breaks in a 12hr shift
I work 12 hours with a 10 minute brake 😢
Totally felt, hang in there🤞🏼
Is it 3 days for 12hrs work week?
Terrible pay rate.
@@pandaexpress7673 5 till 5 a day
Cap
That long ass day for 200 dollars?
Im glad im a retired vet getting paid 35 an hour for security. I work nights but at least im getting 200 after tax every night with a paid meal break.
Good luck and respect man, i can see these jobs are probably a lot to put up with
U get 20 min breaks at the amazon where i’m at is 15 and half of it is walking to the break area
Amazon is not for the WEAK
It’s not for smart either.
Great way to hustle!! I’m 62 and considering working after I retire from my IT job.
IT is difficult to learn,but a cake walk once you are hired for a year and learn the systems. You're use to sitting,not standing all day. I don't think 62 year olds can handle standing all day
Most boomer thing I've read all day
It's not retiring if you still work boomer
I really hope you decide to sit your ass down and enjoy being retired 😂 pick up a hobby not a soul crushing job
Why would u go work at a place where they work u like a dog for significantly less than ur cushy IT job? How does that make any sense? Also how is retiring and then working make sense. If u retire doesn't that mean u living od your pension and social security? The math ain't mathin
I thought my job was bad, but this makes me appreciate mines alot more
I did the same, picking. Lol. Bro, the legs and feet are hurting lol. It relaxe pass but the amount of walking in ten hours is wild.
It is pretty intense. Glad it’s over with haha
yeah no thanks. it don't pay enough.
Lol F that job I do not miss working there 😂
Was it bad?
I am scared I start Thursday and it nervousness do they do training the first 2-3 days? 8 hours
I loved doing water spider. That was a fun job! Probably the best job Amazon has to offer
15 miles is nuts!!!!
So you don't get an hour break for lunch like you're supposed to but instead you get 2 twenty minute breaks🙆🤦🤨
A whole hour of unpaid time as discipline. I can tell Amazon really cares for the people running their company.
WE QUITTING AMAZON WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️
I used to work at Amazon as a Problem solver, stager, picker, and scanner.
Teamsters has entered the chat
How often do you get stop at the security because of the random checking system?
I'd work construction and hard labour
ok bubba
Legit amazon was so bad i joined the military. Unionize that Shit im telling you.
@@ProgHead89Lmfao when joining the military is better then a warehouse job wtf.
I worked at tesco warehouse before but I am looking for a new job. I have never worked at amazon warehouse before. Are there 5 days out of 7 and 8 hours shifts at the amazon warehouse?
Aahh someone that finally knows my pain as a water spider. But I was an ambassador on mornings & was 1/3. Imagine that 😭
bro i honestly don’t care abt where they put me i usually js go do AR or Non con lmao
I'm mesmerized by this. I recently read a similar book, and I was completely mesmerized. "Mastering AWS: A Software Engineers Guide" by Nathan Vale
does the warehouse operates 24/7 or the shifts end at a certain time?
My first time working here I couldn’t walk to my house after my shift. And to then do that for three days straight was pure hell.
Wait is Overtime after 40hours a week or after 8hours daily?
When you return an item how long does it take when you before ya guys get it I was told it takes 60 days
Why Amazon not hiring in my state new jersey? Every time I check nothing available
All that for 200$. That’s tough
The sawmill I work at starts probationary employees out on greenchain at $20hr, with a $2 pay raise once you’re a full employee. A month after getting off probation, I got promoted to grader and started making $26hr. Yes, greenchain sucks. But as long as you have good attendance and make a visible effort, management goes out of their way to get you an easier and higher paying position. Also, this is the first job I’ve ever had where I get weekends and holidays off.
Imagine still using pallets when some sites using those Go Cart Trollies
For reference at my restaurant serving job, I hit 12k steps in 10 hours
Hi. How about if you're hired as part time. Would you have the option to work 8 hours and more? Or, limit to ,4 hours only? Not a student.
Do u have to drive forklify or pallet?
Whats the job description
I’m just got hired at a sorting center. I tell myself I’m just doing this for a check and to occupy some of my time cause I also do photography and I get at least $150-$250 an hr for my shoots. So me making less than $200 at Amazon for a 10hr shift is madness
I work at a delivery station and I work 4x10s and it is brutal. Mainly because it’s 1:20am-11:50am.
20 min break for a 10hr shift is crazy you should get at least an hour
You do. Each shift has a 30 minute break, if you were to work 2 shifts, you'd get 2 breaks, and each shift is like 4 to 5 hours. Trust me I used to work in one for a month. Was the most miserable existence in the world, but the money was okay.
We get 10 min breaks 😂at my Amazon bs
What is “UPT”?
How long is the shortest shift yoy can take, I’m going to be in high school that’s why
Do you usually work alone? I have social anxiety 😢
Wait what? Did I hear that correctly… that if you’re 5 minutes late they take 1 hour of PTO???
Amazon’s pay is booty
38k steps wtf 😢 bro I usually just do 15k
the heck, you get 20 min break, while my location only has 15 minutes.
How do we apply to Amazon warehouse?
Damn 38,000 steps, don’t kill yourself for these people.
Exactly.
Dude water spider is a workout even at 4 hour shifts
How many days a week do you work
What if you need to use the bathroom all the time???
That must be an old video because we get paid $20.50 now and it’s 2 (30 min) breaks for a 10 hr shift.
Damn what’s ur position there
Can you do this part time?
Your location only does pallets??? I only water spider and we get these big grey cages that can weight up to 600 pounds and also blue carts the pallets are the easiest
You basically can’t take a day off from your position for the first few weeks.
Legally they can't dock you an hour for being one second late. They have to pay you for the time you work, regardless of when you clock in or clock out
Please tell me how to apply
at my job i do 9 hours and 25 mins and only get 2 20 min breaks. it gets tiring but I'm getting used to it.
What Amazon you at because that doesn't sound right 1 minute late and they take 1hr of upt
Do Amazon give raises?
It’s two 15 minute break but it’s actually only 10 minute’s because the 5 minutes are for walking back to your station. That’s why Amazon workers want a union
What the fuck, we only get 15 min breaks at LAS7
