Thanks for watching and liking my video everyone!! 😊 Definitely make sure to subscribe & comment if I should do an uncut pt. 2 of my experience at amazon!
You are the only RUclipsr that was positive about your working conditions at Amazon. Glad that you are enjoying your job. I was wondering how you handle the bathroom issues (short breaks) and being timed to pee?
just go to the bathroom if you have to go...trust me the work is hard and mindless but they will not terminate you for going to the bathroom even if you have to go 3 - 5 times your shift. that is additional to the breaks you take you
have a solid excuse. explain that hey i had to go to the bathroom it took 15minutes. 2 minutes to walk there 2minutes to walk back 11minutes to take care of business....it was from 1000 to 1015 that is why i was not at the station doing my task. my stomach hurt. i ate something bad last night. or yeah i took 30min to use the bathroom...2 minutes there and 2min back 26minutes to do my business.....this 2nd scenario you may have to save this 30min one when it really really necessary ok...use good judgement but notate everything so you dont forget and can explain
Girl! You give me hope. I have cancelled and rescheduled my appointment with Amazon 5 times already. I get nervous thinking this job is going to be hell given the amount of bad reviews. I’m going to suck it up and do my appointment tomorrow. The warehouse is literally four blocks away from my house, hopefully there are bike racks so I don’t have to drive just for four blocks.
Lol this is exactly how I feel. I've been so hesitant to signing up for this exact reason. Heard it was hard.😩
@@Cra2y_M3rmaid Its not bad. The work is easy to learn. The computer or handheld device tells you exactly what to do. The only thing bad is your feet literally hurt. I used to take my shoes off every night and put on my slides. Then a big box by my station so people cant see lmao. It was a 12 hour Thurs Fri Sat shift. but that last week I was crawling up my steps I had to go lol Insurance good.
Do it and if you font like it then find something else..just try
@@wendyellis3738 I passed my drug test and background check a little over a week ago. Somehow the system took off my original requested shift. I’ve been checking everyday, and unable to find an open shift. All are taken :-(
@@stephaniemonique2251 do they drug test everyone before starting?
You are the only person that speak o everything I do at Amazon, Thank you!
Of course!❤️
@@ChristinLeRay is amazon a good place to work at I just did application for 4 team lead position and I have experience stocking boxes
I deliver for Amazon and its very neat to see the inner workings of the station. Ive been thinking of switching to the warhorse, after getting hit by a car and nearly 3 dog bites I'm ready for something a little different. Thank you for giving an accurate description of what its like in there.
yes much much safer and the pay aint that much different but you know you have the freedom and fresh air duh duh duh and all that...
Cool seeing how the delivery station runs. Definitely one of the best videos on RUclips I’ve seen from an Amazonian 😂 . Been doing fulfillment a year now. Been a packer and now the commonly hated stow 😟, same concept just have robots bringing the “bins” to us and putting away the items instead of orders. Thurs-Sat 6pm-630am we get 3 breaks but definitely an easy job with benefits once you adjust to the work life.
Thanks for sharing your work experiences at Amazon with us.
I literally read all the comments you basically laced us up.all the question i was thinking of is laid out. Well to say the least thank you for the info as I will be starting my journey at Amazon. And wish the best of luck to you on your future endeavors.
Ahhh, I’m so glad it was helpful!! & thank you!❤️
Fellow Amazonian here. It's interesting to see how things are done differently at other facilities. Picking at my location is people running around the building with a short cart; we use 2-3 totes at a time and swing by a conveyor to throw them on the line.
I'm concerned you might lose your job posting pictures inside the building.
True Dat!
It’s a summer job I don’t think she’s that concerned but it’s definitely against policy
It's not a bad job if you really need one. It's very accepting place to work in. Zero discrimination.
TIP for everyone always stay posted and don’t pay mind to negative reviews , people
Thanks for the honesty and advice. I decided to watch some videos, before deciding to apply or not, and I'm going to take the leap! I have learned, more than once about management, so I know to prepare for it. Now, I just have to decide which job opening I want to jump into. Prayers that I pick the right one. Thanks again, and God bless 🙌🙏
I start on the 4th this gonna be my first job kinda excited & nervous 😬❤️
Ayeeee!! That’s so exciting & you’re going to be making good money for your first job! You got this, don’t be nervous at all!
ChristinLeRay thanks alot I appreciate it ❤️🙏🏾
Dajah Landers don’t goin there with any emotions just get that bread and bounce
Coincidentally here on the 4th, how’d it go?
Eduardo Solis I just had got off like 3 hours ago it went pretty good it’s easy to me 💯
I worked at Amazon for a year. ICQA, Stow, and picking. It’s not for the weak minded it’s a tough job. Hope you enjoying it tho.
LMFAO, "Pros, you can wear whatever you want. ...that's about it.. LET'S GET INTO CONS BABY". I worked at Amazon in 2012-2013 as a shipper (seasonal position) before the 15 bucks an hour. 10.50 starting pay back then. The job was easy, but oh my LORD - Just because it's easy doesn't make it fun or exciting. You're a damn robot in the system. Your brain is fried after every shift. Doing the same, and I mean THE SAME thing for 10 hours straight does a number on your mental health. Everyone in those warehouses should be making 20 bucks an hour MINIMUM.
Wowwww, I resonated with EVERYTHING you said!! You’re worked like a slave in that place.. if we’re being honest! Thanks for watching!!
Exactly,they work you like a dog,i would not suggest anybody work here.
Wow..so glad I'm only doing seasonal..
I agree with you...they shouldn’t have cut the pay....it is still a whole pandemic and you put your lives at risk, but I really thank you for your work because I definitely take advantage of that Amazon Prime😆
Thanks Again Sis for another Great Video
Love the Nintendo Wii music !
Distribution and fulfillment center is 2 different things. I wish I worked in a distribution center
transfer over to the distro side......
Yes, fulfillment centers seem to be more harder and longer hrs.
You not terminated yet? If not do your thing, careful having that phone out. Remember people's addresses are confidential.
Don't want you to get into any trouble. Okay
Please be careful.
I did this for 8mnths then got laid off 😒 was super easy job , leveled up to a Gatekeeper, which was nice. Now I work at a Fullfilment Center and I'm a PIT driver. I do appreciate the growth here at Amazon Washington!!
yeah wish you was back with the distribution warehouse crew dont you? i tell em all the distro crew is the bomb....
hear that word you guys Super Easy....naaw its still long hours and your on your feet but less stress and headache
Yes fellow Amazonian be careful it does say specifically not to post or take pictures of products and shipment locations in the document
Thank you for the insight!
Definitely! I hope it was helpful😊
Hey...I am ur 376th subscriber, I work in Amazon as well as a CSA...
Thanks for sharing us your experience 😇
Thanks for subscribing!!!
Love the intro music
Thank you!
It’s a really simple job trust me don’t be scared
Good video, im very nervous about applying, i just got laid off/terminated unexpectedly from my previous job last week as a carpet cleaning technician for a small business.
It was prob your fault, accept it
I was reading some reddit post about amazon and how it is to work there and your video just came up on RUclips lol great video thanks for the inside cheers
Oh wow, that’s so awesome! Thank you!
Thank you! Very informative.
May I ask what your paycheck comes out too with your schedule? Mine is 1:20 am to 8:50 am Wednesday through Sunday . Curious to know what that ends up too weekly
Great video. I actually don’t mind stowing but I couldn’t do it everyday I just help out sometimes
Thank you! & yeah doing it everyday is not the move!
And people need to know about A to Z app. But you need to save space on your phone to download it.
your specific workplace is a delivery station which is where the packages make their last stop before going to the customer and it used to be really easy before everyone started ordering stuff online due to COVID-19
I’m glad you post this , because I was skeptical, from the way it sound like constantly working none stop,, , I’m twice your age , I use too handle the fast paste my younger age , not for anymore , go handle your business young girl Get it in why you can , Good luck.
thanks for your heads up
No need to cover your last name if you still show your login. I’m just saying. Good video
Yep, shows her email and login password!!! Oh, and it's not a "converter" belt... it's "conveyor." I just can't watch anymore.
Thanks. I really love your vlogs. ❤ Keep making that 💰! Do you bring your lunch or snack throughout the day? 🇺🇸
Thank you! & I brought a lunch + snacks everyday. Tried to save my money lol
Hey sweetie thank you for wonderful information. I have a question ? After start working on Amazon you can change your work shift if the time doesn’t work for you.
Yesss! They definitely work with you if you want to change up on your hours!!
It's really useful short & crisp video and info you shared. I loved it. I am gonna start FT next week @ Robinsville and that's gonna help me.
Do they allow Cell phones inside with you?
I work at pdx9 logistic center. For 6 months nos. Thanks for the video i liked it.
Thank you for sharing and caring and be safe out there
How is it working out for you forward to this time?
Worked @ Amazon Fulliment Center as a Picker/ Counter I enjoyed your video.
Miami305 will you please tell me how physical or challenging it is? I start October 7th. Still don't know what position for sure.
Be careful you don’t get sued for filming and that there isn’t a written agreement
Btw
I appreciate you sharing!
As much as i appreciate this i think it is a huge risk you are taking. Is it really worth it though?
@@ekemelunnoli7149 yes its worth it so everyone knows whats going on good and bad...and besides its not a career for the warehouse crew its just a job...we aint making 160kyr plus 200k stock options working for Amazon like some people in amazon.....
@@nekoneko8378 it's not just a Job.
This will be my first job lol i schedule wed thurs and friday ( 7:30am -6:30pm ) i want to be a picker i dont mind but how do i assign myself that way? Or do they choose the position for you?
1. congrats on your first job!
2. I know that it can vary from location, but at my location they choose what we do.
but I would definitely suggest asking, there's no harm in asking at all. I hope you get to pick!
Your really pretty!! I just started at kohls
Thank you!!❤️
Great video/tips 😊
Thank you!!
i thought y'all couldn't have phones inside
That has changed since Covid. You still aren’t supposed to have them out. I don’t know how she pulled this off😂
The opening music!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’m in the process of being hired and I have a question about what are stowers and pickers?
I start Sunday at 9pm.
Theres stowers and stow buffers. Stow buffers take the packages off the belt and put them on racks. Stowers take the packages off the racks, scans them and places them inside their assigned bags. Pickers take the bags to be picked up by the drivers for delivery. Theres a certain amount of bags and oversized packages that get picked with each route. Your handheld will tell you this. When stowing, youll need to maintain a certain speed so you dont get too backed up.. For the record, almost everyone picks.
@@LIG87 very frustrating job,they work you have like a dog,and you get very little vacation time or personal time,and you get no sick leave,job is horrible she's lying.
Im 47 yrs. old and I start at Amazon on Wednesday, October 7th. I'm still not sure what I will be doing at the fulfillment center. Will you or someone please tell me. Getting a little worried because of the negative comments. I know the first two weeks will be hard because I gotta get use to being on my feet again.
I just started yesterday too at ALB1 and had no idea what I was going to be doing, now I'm a package picker and couldn't be happier
Ccsmith2773 how is it going so far? I start in less than 2 weeks and I am nervous about the COVID
@@christine2952 If you are gonna be starting at Albany don't worry about it they have professional cleaning crews cleaning 24/7, also they provide lots of hand sanitizer and mask if you forget and they have safety constantly enforcing social distancing, not only that but when you enter in the morning they have thermal cameras that monitor everyone's temp when entering I find its a really clean place to work and feel 100% comfortable
@@christine2952 Im working in the receiving department. The job itself is fine. But im standing in one area which causes my feet and back to hurt tremendously. Im gonna try for pit so I can move around more. If it weren't the pain I would remain where I am. Oh and they keep it pretty clean here in Deltona, Fl.
@@popsiclesoda445 So what is that position like?
I lucked out, work with 2-4 other people , we do under 10k a day, blue badged from day 1.
Awesome video! I have a question ... I start working at Amazon in two days , and on my A to Z my department says ‘fc shipping’ what do they do in that area ?
Hey love didn’t you sign a non disclosure agreement? I do admire your honesty and sharing the truth-wishing you continued success.
Second day at Sort Center coming up. I'm already thinking of quitting because they changed my schedule and didn't tell me UNTIL I SHOWED UP. I'm PT and seasonal. I don't need the income. It was just spending money. Also, I'm older with back issues. Confused about what to do.
I’m suppose to start October 8 . I’m super nervous I won’t be a good fit
congrats
i start on the fourth
I like the tape and information. You came off effectively and REAL. One of my biggest issue is that Amazon:s employment techniques sucks, from on site interview to this part (3?) They are making it harder for people to find a job at Amazon. Not proper address or directions, placewise, very little personal contact and very limited directions on just about averything. Eg: I got this email, I suppose to conduct stage 3, but, when opened, you are asked to view the job site and apply? Confusing!. Amazon, Please be simple, to the point and a phone call goes a Loooong way. So I can’t change the policy, just have to adapt.
It a hold lot of work to do .I have also work 2 weeks for DHL .thanks for sharing
Yeah amazon can be a tiring job to say the least 🤦🏾♀️
I start next week in our Delivery Warehouse here in Michigan. 10hr shifts Sun-Wed Lol. Shift Early Morning - 1:20am-11:50am. This should be interesting. I took the early morning shift due to being a night owl. Also my first warehouse job but I've done so in the government as well. DGR6 -GR, MI
Warehouse jobs aren’t for the weak at heart. But, if you go in with the mindset that you’re just trying to get your money, you’ll be good!! Keep me updated on how your first day goes!
Can you be a picker at amazonlogistics or is it only delivery driver
I'm 2 and a half months in.
Starting to question my life.
Gonna try and do 2 more months but I'm not staying for much longer.
I will be contracting covid and getting that 2 weeks paid leave tho
wow, never read anything more accurate. I made this video on a good day bc there’s so much more I could’ve mentioned about the job. Hang in there and get your money though!!!
Lmao girrrl shit 3 months over at the FC after transferring after 1 yr 6 mos as a shopper big mistake. Im a picker and im constantly thinking about my life in that damn picking station. That place is hell. Easy ass job but the unsafe conditions, incompetent leadership smdh...im not gonna make my 2 yr anniversary in oct
@@furkids2789 i have my hire interview Tuesday for a picker position how heavy are the boxes? A guy I ran into there said if you can't lift 70 lbs you won't make it. Is that true?
That’s shady
The location looks like it's near the airport in st louis.
Right i live in st Louis
I'm glad Amazon is providing jobs for a lot of people but I only buy on Ebay a lot of the things I buy are much cheaper on there....
thank you ebay customer.....less package to deliver i wish everybody bought from ebay and craigslist and order less from amazon...
I start tonight i really can't wait to see this over with i worked at a plant before but never a warehouse
How was your first night??
@@ChristinLeRay girl short but last night a whole night omg long
Mariah Woods ayeeee you made it through!
Imma driver thus a good video to see what y’all do. Just stop putting that yellow sticker on the bar code!! Lol
“Manually enter package ID” while three dogs wanna kill you 😂😂
@@Flaz1000 MAN!!! And now the gps acting like I’m not where I’m at lol
Seth Robinson exactly! So you gotta close the app & then reopen it smh
Great video. Everyone I know that work here quit already lol
Thank you! & yeah.. their turnover rate is ridiculous!
You look so gorgeous
thank you 😊
You’re welcome
Yes part 2!
Is an Amazon Fulfillment Center and Amazon Distribution center the same?? I start next week at the Amazon distribution center
Do you need to ask your work everyday or seeing the app and starting the work?.If you have any doubts in your work who is responsible for you to ask?pls reply.Do you need to see your supervisor everyday?
I heard the distribution center is a harder work than the fulfillment center
Oh m my goodness, yes! I’ve heard the exact same, but I didn’t work there so I wouldn’t know much.
Hey is the Reduced time position the 3 days a week 12hr shifts is that a full time position or will they fire me after peak season??? I just took my drug test today? Someone please let me know , because if it's only seasonal then I'm not going to accept the offer
I start on aug. 6 in delivery station. You know if they have people in spanish language? or training in spanish?
I can’t speak for all Amazon’s, but I do know at my warehouse there are employees who are fluent in Spanish.
They should have Spanish speaking ambassadors to ensure you learn your job properly! If you have any concerns always feel free to speak up at your FC.
what is the exact name of your position ? to where you get 6 hour shifts
How much do you make a week?
It’s my 3rd day for stowing it’s not dat bad sometimes it just too much
yeah, stowing can be a little overwhelming after awhile.
ChristinLeRay facts
They put in in shipment I start next week , do you have any insight on how that would be ?
So what job position that you are working on Amazon
Thank u I enjoyed your video 😊
Thank you!!
Thank you ma’am
How does the food area work ? I’m working that soon
All we have are vending machines and refrigerators to put our food in. So, I’m not exactly sure. I wish I could could you more info. But.. congrats on getting the job!
What’s a warehouse Team Member???
So ur saying it’s easier to work at the distribution center rather than the fulfillment center? # new subscriber
The way she was describing it and showing Inside footage it seem very easier than fulfillment center. Also less hrs as well.
So at the delivery station you do actually move your not just standing there (as far as I can see)? I hate standing in place thats why I'm asking
The beginning of my shift we stand for about 3 hours & then we move around the rest of it! And yeah standing around all day sucks!
i dont think you can have phones inside the warehouse
Technically you’re not supposed to, but bc of COVID they allowed us to have our phones.
Which location are you in? If you don’t mind
How does OT work, I don't want too much OT. Thanks!
They have something called “VET” which stands for voluntary extra time and they always post “VET”/available shifts that you can pick up. You can pick up as many shifts as you want & if you get OT you get paid time and a half. Hope this answers your question😊
@@ChristinLeRay thank you much. Now what about mandatory OT, how often does that happen?
Tony Lane the 3 months that I was there there was no mandatory OT. So, as far as Ik there isn’t mandatory OT.
Things are a lot different since the pandemic. We used to often get MANDATORY overtime (usually 50 hours/week) during Prime and Peak. I don't think I've seen mandatory OT in over a year. If anything, I've seen Voluntary Time Off more often than mandatory in the 2-3 years I've worked in my building. I think Amazon is hiring a surplus of people so it should stay voluntary (if that).
I'm starting on 10/8/20. I'm certainly there for the money, but I'm hoping there's more eye candy like you around.
Hello 🙋🏽♀️ nice video thanks for sharing. How is your lunch time ? 🙂
Hi!😊 they gave us 30 minute lunch breaks
Can you change from Prime now Wholefoods to distribution center?
Whats wholefoods
Halffoods
That crash sort 🤣
Filming in an Amazon warehouse will get you promoted to customer.
10:00 thank you
What’s the best position
it definitely varies depending on the day. If I really had to choose then it’d say picking or diverting 😌
None of them
So I’ve been thinking about joining Amazon for a while and just wondering how the schedule works? Did you get to choose your shift and your position working in the distribution center? Also what made you push through and how did you end up figuring out how to do the job having such a poor trainer?
Your offer the shifts they have so no you don’t really get to choose your regular shift. And no you don’t get to choose your position you’re working in you go where they need you.
U lying girl the job suck u no it tell the truth my first day day give a rent truck that a lemon it turn of like 4 time and no training at all day said that l had to pay AAA come and give me a jump l said to her kiss my dork side
Thank you for your service...lol
Do they pay weekly or bi-weekly?
What’s the app called again?
Amazon A-Z & it’s blue!
alot of people be so dramatic about working for amazon, amazon is a easy job its so boring beacuse its so repetitive.. but its not a bad job it aint no slave job like people want it to make it, people are just lazy these days!
Hey what's FC shipping department
The janitor can be an ambassador at Amazon...anyone can, thats why they don't really know much more than the average employee.
So much truth in one statement!!!
