When you first join, it'll just be scanning for the first few weeks. Just box stacking simulator pretty much. Also this is what it looks like during the night shifts most of the time, pretty laid back. And I hear after the first few weeks (im on day 5), you can train to go to other parts of the facility and at some point you can just go do whatever you feel is needed. Nice flexibility.
Nah. It depends on the facility. I worked night shifts exclusively, and never saw a single day this chill. I got cross trained everywhere, but that doesn’t mean I get to choose where I go. I still got assigned a job every day
I didn't know a package had such a romantic life. Did it have a glass of Chardonnay on its way. Surprised it didn't hook up with another package for the evening.
Sort scanning burns calories like crazy. Im going to be shredded to the bone in a month and then enter my first physique bodybuilding show with no other effort.
exactly. And that's a VERY nice looking center. Not just clean, but overhead automation, nice conveyors... like it was brand new and inside an FC and not the tent cities or smaller but even worse looking due to lack of tech and money "sortation centers" lol.
I actually love working at amazon I don’t know why some people say it’s hard place to work if you just do your part it’s actually a great place to work I myself enjoy it and look forward to going to work and I’ve never been able to say that about my other jobs
@@shalomqueen6029 hi honestly if you can pass a drug test and a background test you should be once you pass that then send you email for your hire date and virtual orientation they train you and it’s really not hard at all anyone can do the job there are people that work where I work that barley speak English especially this time even if you get hired as seasonal part time there is always shifts to pick up and if they have full time that’s great too even if you start as part time there are opportunities to go full and im pretty sure you don’t need experience most of the workers are college students so hope everything goes well and I say go for it
@@shalomqueen6029 Pass a drug test and a background test and you've got the job. They don't ask for previous employers, references, or even a resume. I didn't go through an interview process or even meet with my supervisor/hr before starting. The job isn't difficult for the most part, but it is physical. You move at a fast pace, you do a lot of lifting and bending, you'll definitely get a cardio workout.
I agree been working there for a year and 2 months now and I'm working under flex so I can be flexible for both my job and my house wife dutys plus mother dutys as will I never really have anything bad to say about amazon they're amazing 👏 ❤ 💙 I do not recommend this job for teenagers though I've seen a few go to work the first week and quit the following week because it's too much work with all the lifting but hey if one teen has what I takes to handle the job plus school by all means go for it 😉
@@zsanchez52 yes your right I’ve been there for 6 months now and almost all the teens well I guess 18 year olds are not there but I’m also a mom of 4 single and I pick up extra shifts I’m part time but I manage to get 40 hours with the extra shifts and I love how I can still be there for my kids they are all teenagers btw and be at work hopefully I can get a permanent at least 35 hours so I don’t have to keep looking for shifts but other than that my time goes by and no body bothers me I just do my part and go home I mean In all honesty this is the easiest job I’ve had and I’ve been working over 20 years
I notice they had their job title on the back of their vests - Sorter, new trainee, stacker and so on. I was waiting see someone with "SLAVE" emblazoned on the back of their vest.
Matthew Jackson I work at a amazon facility and most vest don’t have any titles unless you are higher up than the starting position. The titles you saw were stuff like “Operations” or “Process Assistant” which means they are management. It also means they don’t actually do the work displayed in the video and they didn’t want any tier 1 employees being shown
I'll be starting at a sort center soon and still don't quite understand the whole process after this video lol. Guess I'll figure it all out when I get there.
@@yesenia318 i started 2 days ago, but buy comfort pads for your shoes. After a long day your feet will hurt like crazy, but you will get a 20 minutes brake for in between every 4 hour shift; massage your feet!! The job is extremely organized we’re Im at, but the pain from standing is unbearable.
Well it depends on what center you end up at. Each seems to have differences. But in the end, listen to both the Learning Ambassadors (your teachers), AND once you get on the floor the veterans. The long-timers will have all the good advice, like do your best but don't work so hard you make yourself sick or hurt yourself. Amazon says "Amazon Cares" because legally they have to, but ultimately it's about the bottom-line dollars for them NOT your happiness. They will talk RATE RATE RATE, INCREASE THAT RATE, but for reals, there are long timers that are "fast" but still under what management wants as for rates ;) . Only a few true "Aliens" are 300+ on stow or way above rate on anything else ;) .
This is just a controlled demo. The facility gets alot crazier and sloppier. Packages do get jammed and crushed. In addition, those pick offs are going to destroy their lower backs. Terrible body mechanics. Need to teach better safety.
We basically just finished peak and it wasn't that crazy. All the managers were supportive and we had daily rotations so you had a high chance of doing something else like water spider or divert, instead of always being pick off. I work at a sort center in San Bernardino and out of all the times I've worked through peak. I've only seen the lines get full 3 or 4 times. We are usually pretty quick to clear it. I can't speak about other sort centers and how management is like over there but working here gave me a positive outlook toward Amazon
@@carlosballista8011 This sorting facility is different from the one I work in. DSF3, we just have a main belt with two unloaders, unloading pallets that look like it came from this video. Then down the belt, we have about 10 pickers on each side of the belt (A & B) which then gets picked and put onto racks according to the number. And behind the racks, we have stowers where it gets sorted into bags labeled for example, "24 1A, 24 2A, 243A, 24 4A". After that, everyone gets on their devices and pick bags for vans .
Well, where i work, amazon got us a air hockey table & a foosball table that has never been played, but can't seem to afford gloves that don't have holes after 2 days. Or, buy enough scanners so it's not a hunger games sequel at the start of every shift 😳
@@kahla3363 same at my fulfillment center Ours is supposed to last a week because they are “expensive “ So our hands aren’t worth it apparently 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I usually do a non-con trailer at inbound (lots of big/heavy boxes that jam up the belt). Depending on how bad it is, a trailer will take a few hours. It's almost never neatly stacked. It looks like the trailer rolled down a hill, with an avalanche pouring out towards the swing doors. Sometimes I put all the kitty litter, cat food, and bottled beverage on the belt at the same time as fast as I can -- and wait for the sort slide to stop. :D
OMG! Wow, sounds like our sort center, only we don't have NON-CON, even though we are now training for it... I'm waiting for that to start, despite them saying the training is just in case... YEA RIGHT! "jaws theme plays in background". Yea, trailers arrive the same way here, even the go-carts and gaylords look like someone stuck them in a blender, and I learned the hard way why even when they look nicely stacked still somehow, DO NOT STAND IN FRONT AND OPEN! lol... I even let one spill out, waited, and then started to pick up and "throw" ... and got beamed on the head by a not so light box that waited for me to be in just the right spot and bent over lol. Atlanta's go-carts are the worst ... well were, now we just get from a single hub/FC.
Yeah, non con is the worst line to work. You're constantly backed up because you're trying to fit odd shaped boxes neatly on a pallet that eventually fails and you just end up saying "Screw it".
@@82ndAbnVet We are putting our non con in shuttles (Gaylords) so we don't have to palletize them anymore. We just cut a door in one side of the shuttle then wrap it. You have to be careful to balance the load though bc those shuttles can tip over if you don't.
@@vmo3313 my comment on working at an Amazon station center was regarding during peak season. AFTER peak the work gets more difficult. Not that difficult but they cut back staff so much that you are always pretty busy and getting to leave early is much more rare. During peak they over staff so there is a lot of vto and standing around.
@@thedevilhimself6557 they have a cut off date. in the case of our sort center if you were hired before nov 1 you were allowed to stay on. So get in early if you can. But im at a sort center not a fulfillment center. the sort centers are where the filled orders go after they have been picked and packed at the fulfillment center. They go from our center to several a post offices within a 5 hour drive away
We call pick off diversion in Long Island. Picking and staging is last before packages go out. We use bakers racks for urs. Scanner is called stowing/sorting. Induction is labeling the yellow labels.
I never imagine how busy get inside the hard work these worker do day in day out reminds me of my old job use to work in warehouse like this years ago at Ross wear house I did ahead a lot of pounds working as a splitter shown on here on Amazon
This accurately depicts everything an Amazon Sort Center is. Strikingly similar to the one i work at. Repetitive work, but not hard by any means. HR frequently offers prizes, especially for days when we expect higher volume. "clock-in-to-win", just showing up to your shift can get you a gift such as a gift card or special amazon gear. Around prime day, most holidays, and especially peak season they order catering for each shift, give out prizes, and give everyone special amazon gear for your particular site. Being a picker or working on Sort slide is probably the most challenging critical roles you can have in a sort center, just because of how fast the boxes are coming at you, at times. But that's just coming from me and my 18 months working at my specific sort center.
correct me if im wrong but i thought all sort centers where the same. i guess now can you explain what kind of sort center we have then? our is the same as yours with position names different a bit but still same principle. for example the pickoff/splitters we call them facers. however thats where the similarities end. we don't have scanner people in the end we have whats called "pickers" they pull packages for their assigned aisles betwen 5-10aisles and place them on rolling carts. and the MAJOR difference we don't have pallets. we have Rows (A-M) with 50 aisles per letter and the aisle has carts of 18 totes A1,2,3, B,1,2,3 C,1,etc..through G. "STOWERS" then take the packages that pickers pulled for their aisles and scan them and into their corresponding totes. (e.g E.28.B2) row E aisle 28 second tote on the B rack. and you do this over and over to aquire a rate of stowing of 300p.hour. then they are coordinated into routes and by 6am start loading them into flex drivers or amazon drivers. i should not our wearhouse has AMZL as their operation title. and our waterspiders are strictly just for the unloading area. other regions have "black and orange vests" called sensei's.
RUclips Videos this video is a sort center. You must work at a fulfillment center where you pick the items and it get shipped to a sort center to be delivered to the post office.
Accurate for a manual sort center. I work at a more automated one. Small boxes and envelopes go through a heavily automated machine that scans and sorts packages to their appropriate pallets. Bigger boxes don't go through a sort slide, instead they pass through high speed scanners/sorters called singulators that send the boxes to the appropriate chute where people will then grab and scan the boxes to pallets.
Ha! This is what I considered a lay back relax day. Nothing like this in reality. Oh and pay attention to your scanners because sometimes when you scan your packages them scanners will beep and tell you otherwise and you'll still be held accountable. And yes, they keep track and see everytl package you have correct. You will get a write up if you max out the number of mistakes you are allowed to make. Thursday's always seemed to be the worse and they will flex you up an your if you guys are behind.
This is actually my sort center where I work at. BUF5. I recognized some who I worked with. Manager Matt in the truck (good guy but he got fired), Allen (guy at beginning w/ Matt) he was our site leader and was awesome but he left. The pickoff was a waterspider. PA Shaun - he got fired. Girl staging - she was seasonal hr but is bk as a waterspider. Interesting how they showed all the positions except PROBLEM SOLVE - which is where all the damaged pkgs go to get fixed or damaged out. This journey of a pkg is incomplete or is that part 2?
Thanh Mai yes i am. In fact a couple weeks ago i was interviewed for an asst. manager position. I didn’t get it but i have been offered another full time position w/ amazon in their Logistics dept.
@@yanaaw._xo7501 I guess they are at a smaller center? Yeah, weird. If you don't sort, what do you do? Maybe just SC-SC, move pallets from one trailer to another?
I work in a sort center and it’s a pretty good job. Repetitive, but you don’t have to talk to customers! Shifts go by pretty fast and you stay busy the whole time.
That building perhaps. They should try picking (for sortation centers) during peak season, when the belts are full up and you're doing everything you can to keep the boxes/jiffys from reaching the end of the conveyor and piling up and spilling over, and I do mean EVERYTHING... sprinting, hucking heavy packages, suffing them onto the bakers racks, into aisles, around the racks and in front of, dancing around that pile of packages, jumping over them, while sprinting... yea...
Try to minimize missorts. Meaning, don't throw a package with an "A" on it down a chute that says "C". Not too hard. Do this efficiently for the duration your shift. You got this👍
@@Christ2010Grad There is and that depends on the location. I'll ask tomorrow at work what our rate is. I just made Seasonal PA (Process Assistant) and I help run Fluid Load (Loading Trucks) and Cart A's (Cart's that are pulled off an incoming truck and then scanned and loaded onto a different truck). Uh, sorry for all the extra. 👍 I'll get back to you on the sort rate
I cannot speak about Amazon,but Hermes was unbelievable, I reversed my van up to a loading bay and they threw the parcels into the van hitting the bulk headwhen they could of left them in the York and with some changes to the bays they could have pushed the York in and away, and when I arrived in Liverpool they opened the back doors and side door and pushed the lot on to the floor. Done 1 trip, crap pay when you have your own van via Crown couriers.
got fired after a week the management and supervisors are assholes and slave drivers stop for a breather for 1 second they are right up your arse they treat the staff like animals youre on your feet for 12 hours a day treated like a criminal everytime you leave the building you get searched fuck amazon the boss spoke to me like shit so i spoke to him back like shit was kicked out by security and told not to come back thats the uk one

@@niquenavarro yes, seems like a slow day definitely not a busy one the conveyor belt for the scanners isn't overflowing and the stowers aren't running like crazy.
We use similar dumpers at UPS and their specifically designed to quickly unload pallets of small packages, and yes, the name is hilarious but that is what it's used for.
Yeah, no shoots dropping random packages into gaylords. We will drop 50# packages right on top of the little fragile stuff. And that's why we need full time problem solve!
This video is bs, they don't show any packages getting crushed, the pallets are way too neat, and the people look happy. They've probably only worked there for a month.
I’ve been there for 3 yrs and the old woman in the vid wearing the blue shirt, she’s still there. She works twi/nit and wrap down shifts. Stager girl still there too and she been there over a year. Yes Amazon does have a high turn around mostly because it’s not enough hours.
The fulfillment centers are where unpacked inventory is stored and is then put in a package. Sort centers split packages by zip code and reload on trucks going to that area.
Inbound looks easy enough....sort slide is ok I guess.....pick off looks easy too.....scanner looks like there could be technical difficulties from time to time.....hmmm😔wonder which position I should pick.....
When in bulk volume, inbound can be quite tough. You will often have to tear apart card-boarded pallets, unload from often a high or awkward and cramped location, heavy boxes and all, onto the conveyor belt. It is much much much more difficult than what the video shows, and a very good workout. Much different from the usual grind if you are up for the workout.
I wish I was doing pickoff, splitter, waterspider or drop off Today was my first day and I got put into the scanner XD which to me I think is the most labored worked cause your lifting boxes while being timed and gotta stack 6 pallets by yourself
@@laurenagnew5146 Your random assigned. I started off as scanner for what they trained me, but on my second day I got put as a splitter. Sometimes they'll move you depending on where needs filling. But usually most mornings, at least at my Amazon you stand in line and scan your badge and this screen tells you what section and title you'll be doing that day. For example 2C Splitter / etc
Were are rated by scanned packages per hour. We need to be at 75/hr min, which is easy as long as everything goes well. On an average day, I can scan 130 packages an hour on average. The downside is that if you have more than 11 scan errors on your shift, you get pulled aside and counseled.
Can I ask please how many points do you get for sorting each box? The reason why is, at our sorting station they want us to do 320 points an hour, I was wondering how do they add this up?
We don't do a point system at my sort center. But we ask for a manual of scan rate of 70 packages per hour. We have quite a few big boxes so that's pretty reasonable. Our better scanners can stay 80 to 100 pph. Non Con scanners tend to average around 40 pph.
Sort centers have both. When they put the boxes from the trailer onto the belt is inbound. When they put the closed pallets on the trailer is outbound, the middle is just sortation. I think you might be thinking of fullfillment. Sort centers don't hold inventory, we just bring in boxes and send them to smaller sort centers until they get on a van to their forever home.
as a person working at a SC you pretty much do different stuff compare to a FC instead of stowing and picking you are scanning packages off a belt and organizing them into pallets then when it gets full a waterspider is supposed to come and close the pallet in the system and create a new one there are also different things you can do at a SC small sorts which is sorting small packages into totes to be scanned into uboats and their is stager which stage pallets after waterspiders close them you also have breaks here and can leave your station to use the bathroom and compared to a FC you will be next to people and can communicate and make friends
Depends on location and the people you work with or under. I've always heard great things about sort centers. I finally tried it and like it so far. The only role I didn't like training on was staging/loading. Pushing and strapping the pallets into trucks. Otherwise it's easy and laid-back so far no one is on it back rushing u like I saw at the delivery station. They expected u to be fast and threw u by yourself on day 2
Ever wonder how Amazon is able to deliver your package with incredible precision despite handling thousands of orders? It's not a happy accident; it's the result of a highly organized and efficient sorting facility process. At the Amazon sorting facility, packages are sorted according to their size, weight, and shape. The sorting machines then scan the packages and assign them to the appropriate sorting bin. After that, the packages are routed to the right station for further sorting, such as by zip code or destination. The packages are then loaded onto automated conveyor belts and transported to their destination. Along the way, RFID scanners and barcode readers track the packages, ensuring that they are delivered accurately and on time. Finally, when the packages reach their destination, they are loaded onto trucks and transported to their final destination. The Amazon sorting facility process is incredibly efficient and precise, allowing Amazon to deliver your package with incredible precision. It's no wonder why Amazon is one of the most popular and successful e-commerce companies in the world.
I applied thinking about being a packer(I did it before and although some parcels are heavy, the most of them aren't, so I was fine to lift some heavy stuff). The thing is when I had the interview, I was told that in the place I have applied for only do sorting, so there is no pickers or Packers there. Now I am afraid of the most part of the time I have to lift heavy things as I am quite small and skinny. Being a sorter is all the time hard? All the time involves heavy lifting? Should I quit the job and apply to another unit?
packer is so easy! i’m a packer and the boxes aren’t that heavy but if they are then just don’t grab that box and let someone else do it 😂 they won’t tell you anything about either just make sure you’re doing your job tho and not standing doing nothing
@@carollina3621 I am also a small female and thinking of applying at Amazon but terrified of not being able of lifting heavy packages. So, how did it go for you?
Good Video, I knew already that those Fulfillment Centers are no joke, that's hard work but I'm very Glad they are paying $15 an hour, plus benefits. It's a job there's no doubt about that.
my sortation center is nothing like this. Where i'm located, there's unloaders, inductors, Diverters, Splitter's, Pullers, Stowers, Q.A, Problem solve, Waterspider & Tetris associates because stowers stow like shit leaving the bags looking like a hot ass mess. then around 8AM we start picking and staging. are any other centers like this?

Not a cross dock. SMF3, where I work is a sorting cross dock. Items (imports if not all) first enter the chain though us. There were 7 in the US in 2019.
What is the purpose of a sort center? These are obviously outbound packages on their way to customers. Is this like the FedEx center in Tennessee where packages are grouped together to be put on outgoing planes or trucks? Why not use barcode readers and automated diverters?
Yes it is like that. Some places are implementing barcode readers and automated diverters. I think, for now people are more cost effective. We were told that last year our sort slide would be converted, but it wasn't . As soon as it is cost effective, I'm sure it will be automated.
@@jinjarale5484 since we had this discussion, package volume is way down - so spending more money isn't likely to happen soon. I read an estimate that during the Christmas rush season in 2022, industry-wide there is going to be an oversupply of 11 million packages per day of unnecessary capacity. Nothing is going on in the Port of Los Angeles container-wise. Some of the big retailers still have a huge overhang of merchandise from last year and nowhere to store it. People are using their money to buy food and gasoline, not new appliances and furniture.
Not where I live. It’s mind numbingly repetitive and packages never stop coming, to the point where jams occurred every 5 minutes. I quit after two weeks because it was so bad
I like working at Amazon. I like meeting the people I've met there. Different people from all walks of life. The work isn't bad they have different job tasks as seen in the video. Within the 7 months I've been there i would recommend it to anyone who has the strength and determination to do it. Its a good pt job for me i enjoy the 2nd income and experience working there.
It's not hard at Sortation Centers. People that complain usually don't want to work hard or even know what hard work is. In my eyes, what we do at sort centers is easy.
It is a type of large container for smaller envelope-type packages. Usually used for transferring bulk packages onto the conveyor belt to the sort slide.
you forgot the part where amazon plays football with my package. Most of my orders come damaged because im always ordering books, and amazon does ZERO stuffing. Its always bouncing around and gets tiny delts and scratches, al lot of the times it comes completely damaged like recently i ordered a box set of books that was about 8kg. it came completely damaged 4 times. You have to wrap books and other collectables in bubble wrap and get smaller boxes and good stuffing. Amazon has to do a better job at stuffing because its just the biggest retailer in the world.
They aren't going to. The pickers and packers have to really hurry, and they are told what boxes and stuff to use. It is cheaper for AMZ to replace your damaged stuff than to pay someone extra to wrap every item carefully in bubble wrap. You of course can complain on the site that your stuff arrived damaged and you want it replaced. But your stuff is going to always tumble down the sort slide with everyone else's kettle bells, olive oil, detergent and socks. Amazon plays the odds and almost always wins.
You guys judge too fast you havent even try working with amazon and yet you believe what other people are saying... your not going nowhere in that situation
from experience you can see in the end of the video it was starting to get backed up. thats is why they cut it off there because next scene management comes over and starts talking shit why you aren't moving at usein bolt speeds to clear the belt.... ive seen this similar type of video for a job at the post office where a mail man walks with 5 pieces of letter in their hand and a carefree smile. yet in reality its polar opposite with strict demands/deadlines, 50+lb satchels hand full of DPS letters, advertisement newspapers, magazines, package/parcels. walking 8+ miles a day! the infamous motto: Deliver the impossible in a timely manner! so i take these types of cuddled videos with a grain of salt when experiencing the real deal. if you're a motivated worker eager to bend over backwards on a daily basis you will get survive. if you're just there however to work for a paycheck that attitude isn't enough.
I dont know bout you guys but from where im working i think my boss is cool and i like it, i guess its just the people it self that doesn't like to work thats why they complain that amazon treats them like shit.

I don't think I've ever seen a pallet that nicely STACKED!
When you first join, it'll just be scanning for the first few weeks. Just box stacking simulator pretty much. Also this is what it looks like during the night shifts most of the time, pretty laid back. And I hear after the first few weeks (im on day 5), you can train to go to other parts of the facility and at some point you can just go do whatever you feel is needed. Nice flexibility.
how is it now that its been about a month?
Any updates?
Thank you for info 💖
Nah. It depends on the facility. I worked night shifts exclusively, and never saw a single day this chill. I got cross trained everywhere, but that doesn’t mean I get to choose where I go. I still got assigned a job every day

Well it depends on what center you end up at. Each seems to have differences. But in the end, listen to both the Learning Ambassadors (your teachers), AND once you get on the floor the veterans. The long-timers will have all the good advice, like do your best but don't work so hard you make yourself sick or hurt yourself. Amazon says "Amazon Cares" because legally they have to, but ultimately it's about the bottom-line dollars for them NOT your happiness. They will talk RATE RATE RATE, INCREASE THAT RATE, but for reals, there are long timers that are "fast" but still under what management wants as for rates ;) . Only a few true "Aliens" are 300+ on stow or way above rate on anything else ;) .
This is just a controlled demo. The facility gets alot crazier and sloppier. Packages do get jammed and crushed.
In addition, those pick offs are going to destroy their lower backs. Terrible body mechanics. Need to teach better safety.
They need to show it in peak season.
We basically just finished peak and it wasn't that crazy. All the managers were supportive and we had daily rotations so you had a high chance of doing something else like water spider or divert, instead of always being pick off. I work at a sort center in San Bernardino and out of all the times I've worked through peak. I've only seen the lines get full 3 or 4 times. We are usually pretty quick to clear it. I can't speak about other sort centers and how management is like over there but working here gave me a positive outlook toward Amazon
@@carlosballista8011 This sorting facility is different from the one I work in. DSF3, we just have a main belt with two unloaders, unloading pallets that look like it came from this video. Then down the belt, we have about 10 pickers on each side of the belt (A & B) which then gets picked and put onto racks according to the number. And behind the racks, we have stowers where it gets sorted into bags labeled for example, "24 1A, 24 2A, 243A, 24 4A". After that, everyone gets on their devices and pick bags for vans .
Boo you sure you don’t work at a delivery station?
@@coreysparks3531 I think its a delivery station. Its for mostly vans and amazon flex. Im not sure if its better to work here or in the ivideo.

What about problem solve station ? Because that’s definitely where a lot of packages end up by the time they leave the building
Isn't that just end of each "line"/"finger" (of rollers)?
As well as Wrong Lane and Wrong Building pallets.
I usually do a non-con trailer at inbound (lots of big/heavy boxes that jam up the belt). Depending on how bad it is, a trailer will take a few hours.
It's almost never neatly stacked. It looks like the trailer rolled down a hill, with an avalanche pouring out towards the swing doors.
Sometimes I put all the kitty litter, cat food, and bottled beverage on the belt at the same time as fast as I can -- and wait for the sort slide to stop. :D
OMG! Wow, sounds like our sort center, only we don't have NON-CON, even though we are now training for it... I'm waiting for that to start, despite them saying the training is just in case... YEA RIGHT! "jaws theme plays in background". Yea, trailers arrive the same way here, even the go-carts and gaylords look like someone stuck them in a blender, and I learned the hard way why even when they look nicely stacked still somehow, DO NOT STAND IN FRONT AND OPEN! lol... I even let one spill out, waited, and then started to pick up and "throw" ... and got beamed on the head by a not so light box that waited for me to be in just the right spot and bent over lol. Atlanta's go-carts are the worst ... well were, now we just get from a single hub/FC.
Yeah, non con is the worst line to work. You're constantly backed up because you're trying to fit odd shaped boxes neatly on a pallet that eventually fails and you just end up saying "Screw it".
@@82ndAbnVet We are putting our non con in shuttles (Gaylords) so we don't have to palletize them anymore. We just cut a door in one side of the shuttle then wrap it. You have to be careful to balance the load though bc those shuttles can tip over if you don't.

@@vmo3313 my comment on working at an Amazon station center was regarding during peak season. AFTER peak the work gets more difficult. Not that difficult but they cut back staff so much that you are always pretty busy and getting to leave early is much more rare. During peak they over staff so there is a lot of vto and standing around.
@@warrenpeas How do they determine who gets terminated after peak?
@@thedevilhimself6557 they have a cut off date. in the case of our sort center if you were hired before nov 1 you were allowed to stay on. So get in early if you can. But im at a sort center not a fulfillment center. the sort centers are where the filled orders go after they have been picked and packed at the fulfillment center. They go from our center to several a post offices within a 5 hour drive away
We call pick off diversion in Long Island. Picking and staging is last before packages go out. We use bakers racks for urs. Scanner is called stowing/sorting. Induction is labeling the yellow labels.
I never imagine how busy get inside the hard work these worker do day in day out reminds me of my old job use to work in warehouse like this years ago at Ross wear house I did ahead a lot of pounds working as a splitter shown on here on Amazon
I never knew how busy it can get, and it’s not even the holidays!
Yes it was the holidays
If we ever work that slow, we would never sort on time.
This accurately depicts everything an Amazon Sort Center is. Strikingly similar to the one i work at. Repetitive work, but not hard by any means. HR frequently offers prizes, especially for days when we expect higher volume. "clock-in-to-win", just showing up to your shift can get you a gift such as a gift card or special amazon gear. Around prime day, most holidays, and especially peak season they order catering for each shift, give out prizes, and give everyone special amazon gear for your particular site. Being a picker or working on Sort slide is probably the most challenging critical roles you can have in a sort center, just because of how fast the boxes are coming at you, at times. But that's just coming from me and my 18 months working at my specific sort center.
Yesss! This comment is 💯
I want to work there again
correct me if im wrong but i thought all sort centers where the same. i guess now can you explain what kind of sort center we have then? our is the same as yours with position names different a bit but still same principle. for example the pickoff/splitters we call them facers. however thats where the similarities end. we don't have scanner people in the end we have whats called "pickers" they pull packages for their assigned aisles betwen 5-10aisles and place them on rolling carts. and the MAJOR difference we don't have pallets. we have Rows (A-M) with 50 aisles per letter and the aisle has carts of 18 totes A1,2,3, B,1,2,3 C,1,etc..through G. "STOWERS" then take the packages that pickers pulled for their aisles and scan them and into their corresponding totes. (e.g E.28.B2) row E aisle 28 second tote on the B rack. and you do this over and over to aquire a rate of stowing of 300p.hour. then they are coordinated into routes and by 6am start loading them into flex drivers or amazon drivers. i should not our wearhouse has AMZL as their operation title. and our waterspiders are strictly just for the unloading area. other regions have "black and orange vests" called sensei's.
RUclips Videos this video is a sort center. You must work at a fulfillment center where you pick the items and it get shipped to a sort center to be delivered to the post office.
Accurate for a manual sort center. I work at a more automated one. Small boxes and envelopes go through a heavily automated machine that scans and sorts packages to their appropriate pallets. Bigger boxes don't go through a sort slide, instead they pass through high speed scanners/sorters called singulators that send the boxes to the appropriate chute where people will then grab and scan the boxes to pallets.
The music makes it sound like a cool 5 star hotel cocktail bar.
Ha! This is what I considered a lay back relax day. Nothing like this in reality. Oh and pay attention to your scanners because sometimes when you scan your packages them scanners will beep and tell you otherwise and you'll still be held accountable. And yes, they keep track and see everytl package you have correct. You will get a write up if you max out the number of mistakes you are allowed to make. Thursday's always seemed to be the worse and they will flex you up an your if you guys are behind.
Ok
This is actually my sort center where I work at. BUF5. I recognized some who I worked with. Manager Matt in the truck (good guy but he got fired), Allen (guy at beginning w/ Matt) he was our site leader and was awesome but he left. The pickoff was a waterspider. PA Shaun - he got fired.

That building perhaps. They should try picking (for sortation centers) during peak season, when the belts are full up and you're doing everything you can to keep the boxes/jiffys from reaching the end of the conveyor and piling up and spilling over, and I do mean EVERYTHING... sprinting, hucking heavy packages, suffing them onto the bakers racks, into aisles, around the racks and in front of, dancing around that pile of packages, jumping over them, while sprinting... yea...

What’s the difference between the sortation center and the mega warehouse?
The fulfillment centers are where unpacked inventory is stored and is then put in a package. Sort centers split packages by zip code and reload on trucks going to that area.
Fulfillment is where the picking and the packing take place.
They are different layers of hell. Sortation center is more like a condensed hell.
Inbound looks easy enough....sort slide is ok I guess.....pick off looks easy too.....scanner looks like there could be technical difficulties from time to time.....hmmm😔wonder which position I should pick.....
They're all really not hard job tasks. Any job they have is simple.
When in bulk volume, inbound can be quite tough. You will often have to tear apart card-boarded pallets, unload from often a high or awkward and cramped location, heavy boxes and all, onto the conveyor belt. It is much much much more difficult than what the video shows, and a very good workout. Much different from the usual grind if you are up for the workout.
You don’t get to pick
Not sure where this was but there’s not any Red Vests at my facility unloading trucks
I wish I was doing pickoff, splitter, waterspider or drop off
Today was my first day and I got put into the scanner XD which to me I think is the most labored worked cause your lifting boxes while being timed and gotta stack 6 pallets by yourself
omg i start in a few weeks and how does that work? are you just randomly assigned to a job or can you pick?
@@laurenagnew5146 Your random assigned. I started off as scanner for what they trained me, but on my second day I got put as a splitter. Sometimes they'll move you depending on where needs filling. But usually most mornings, at least at my Amazon you stand in line and scan your badge and this screen tells you what section and title you'll be doing that day. For example 2C Splitter / etc
Were are rated by scanned packages per hour. We need to be at 75/hr min, which is easy as long as everything goes well. On an average day, I can scan 130 packages an hour on average.
The downside is that if you have more than 11 scan errors on your shift, you get pulled aside and counseled.
@@82ndAbnVetI was averaging 250-400
Did you just wrap the camera? :)
fantastic
I was at PHX6
I’m coming for you
@@normalperson5000 cool.
Can I ask please how many points do you get for sorting each box? The reason why is, at our sorting station they want us to do 320 points an hour, I was wondering how do they add this up?
1,999
We don't do a point system at my sort center. But we ask for a manual of scan rate of 70 packages per hour. We have quite a few big boxes so that's pretty reasonable. Our better scanners can stay 80 to 100 pph. Non Con scanners tend to average around 40 pph.
so Sortation Center is outbound only? Or there is also inbound sortation?
Sort centers have both. When they put the boxes from the trailer onto the belt is inbound. When they put the closed pallets on the trailer is outbound, the middle is just sortation. I think you might be thinking of fullfillment. Sort centers don't hold inventory, we just bring in boxes and send them to smaller sort centers until they get on a van to their forever home.
How is an SC compared to a FC? I’m currently at an FC but looking into applying at the SC down the street.
as a person working at a SC you pretty much do different stuff compare to a FC instead of stowing and picking you are scanning packages off a belt and organizing them into pallets then when it gets full a waterspider is supposed to come and close the pallet in the system and create a new one there are also different things you can do at a SC small sorts which is sorting small packages into totes to be scanned into uboats and their is stager which stage pallets after waterspiders close them you also have breaks here and can leave your station to use the bathroom and compared to a FC you will be next to people and can communicate and make friends
Depends on location and the people you work with or under. I've always heard great things about sort centers. I finally tried it and like it so far. The only role I didn't like training on was staging/loading. Pushing and strapping the pallets into trucks. Otherwise it's easy and laid-back so far no one is on it back rushing u like I saw at the delivery station. They expected u to be fast and threw u by yourself on day 2

Ever wonder how Amazon is able to deliver your package with incredible precision despite handling thousands of orders? It's not a happy accident; it's the result of a highly organized and efficient sorting facility process.
At the Amazon sorting facility, packages are sorted according to their size, weight, and shape. The sorting machines then scan the packages and assign them to the appropriate sorting bin. After that, the packages are routed to the right station for further sorting, such as by zip code or destination.
The packages are then loaded onto automated conveyor belts and transported to their destination. Along the way, RFID scanners and barcode readers track the packages, ensuring that they are delivered accurately and on time. Finally, when the packages reach their destination, they are loaded onto trucks and transported to their final destination.
The Amazon sorting facility process is incredibly efficient and precise, allowing Amazon to deliver your package with incredible precision. It's no wonder why Amazon is one of the most popular and successful e-commerce companies in the world.

I applied thinking about being a packer(I did it before and although some parcels are heavy, the most of them aren't, so I was fine to lift some heavy stuff).

What is the purpose of a sort center? These are obviously outbound packages on their way to customers. Is this like the FedEx center in Tennessee where packages are grouped together to be put on outgoing planes or trucks? Why not use barcode readers and automated diverters?
Yes it is like that. Some places are implementing barcode readers and automated diverters. I think, for now people are more cost effective. We were told that last year our sort slide would be converted, but it wasn't . As soon as it is cost effective, I'm sure it will be automated.
@@jinjarale5484 since we had this discussion, package volume is way down - so spending more money isn't likely to happen soon. I read an estimate that during the Christmas rush season in 2022, industry-wide there is going to be an oversupply of 11 million packages per day of unnecessary capacity. Nothing is going on in the Port of Los Angeles container-wise. Some of the big retailers still have a huge overhang of merchandise from last year and nowhere to store it. People are using their money to buy food and gasoline, not new appliances and furniture.
I work at a sorting center Amazon. It’s really easy.
Not where I live. It’s mind numbingly repetitive and packages never stop coming, to the point where jams occurred every 5 minutes. I quit after two weeks because it was so bad
I like working at Amazon. I like meeting the people I've met there. Different people from all walks of life. The work isn't bad they have different job tasks as seen in the video. Within the 7 months I've been there i would recommend it to anyone who has the strength and determination to do it. Its a good pt job for me i enjoy the 2nd income and experience working there.
Wavy Uce its hard to apply though
Wavy Uce Awesome! That is the right attitude to have! Hope everything works out! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
It's not hard at Sortation Centers. People that complain usually don't want to work hard or even know what hard work is. In my eyes, what we do at sort centers is easy.
Can someone tell me what a gaylord dumper is @ 0:48?

excuse me..what?
Nothing happened
It is a type of large container for smaller envelope-type packages. Usually used for transferring bulk packages onto the conveyor belt to the sort slide.
Likely this goes to the small sort (envelope only) lines. Used only in extreme high volume or peak seasons.
you forgot the part where amazon plays football with my package. Most of my orders come damaged because im always ordering books, and amazon does ZERO stuffing. Its always bouncing around and gets tiny delts and scratches, al lot of the times it comes completely damaged like recently i ordered a box set of books that was about 8kg. it came completely damaged 4 times. You have to wrap books and other collectables in bubble wrap and get smaller boxes and good stuffing. Amazon has to do a better job at stuffing because its just the biggest retailer in the world.
Ok
They aren't going to. The pickers and packers have to really hurry, and they are told what boxes and stuff to use. It is cheaper for AMZ to replace your damaged stuff than to pay someone extra to wrap every item carefully in bubble wrap. You of course can complain on the site that your stuff arrived damaged and you want it replaced. But your stuff is going to always tumble down the sort slide with everyone else's kettle bells, olive oil, detergent and socks. Amazon plays the odds and almost always wins.

Yeah f your package dude, about 50% of packages fall on the floor multiple times and are tossed.
Anyone watching because you guys start working at an Amazon sort center soon?
Facts 💯🤣
Yupp
2nd day
You guys judge too fast you havent even try working with amazon and yet you believe what other people are saying... your not going nowhere in that situation
Amazon Sort is different from Fulfilment Center.
from experience you can see in the end of the video it was starting to get backed up. thats is why they cut it off there because next scene management comes over and starts talking shit why you aren't moving at usein bolt speeds to clear the belt.... ive seen this similar type of video for a job at the post office where a mail man walks with 5 pieces of letter in their hand and a carefree smile. yet in reality its polar opposite with strict demands/deadlines, 50+lb satchels hand full of DPS letters, advertisement newspapers, magazines, package/parcels. walking 8+ miles a day! the infamous motto: Deliver the impossible in a timely manner! so i take these types of cuddled videos with a grain of salt when experiencing the real deal. if you're a motivated worker eager to bend over backwards on a daily basis you will get survive. if you're just there however to work for a paycheck that attitude isn't enough.
I dont know bout you guys but from where im working i think my boss is cool and i like it, i guess its just the people it self that doesn't like to work thats why they complain that amazon treats them like shit.
got fired after a week the management and supervisors are assholes and slave drivers stop for a breather for 1 second they are right up your arse they treat the staff like animals youre on your feet for 12 hours a day treated like a criminal everytime you leave the building you get searched fuck amazon the boss spoke to me like shit so i spoke to him back like shit was kicked out by security and told not to come back thats the uk one. they try to only employ the desperate who are willing to take the abuse and bulgarians and lithuanians who hardly know any english so they are unaware they are being treated so badly unfortunately for them i know my workers rights and didnt have to take there shit certainly wasn't desperate for that job. im employed else where now and very happy and enjoy my job and get treated with respect.
How, so?
They must be really happy when something is out of stock.
Gabriel Gandi Goesantoso we don’t know on our end. We only sort packages that r already boxed from other facilities.
