Behind the scenes of an Amazon warehouse

Amazon recently did the unthinkable. It invited us - what with our unblinking cameras and endless questions - for a peek inside its newest logistical lair in Lakeland, Florida.

@@amaliadiaconu3724 They don't care about the numbers you hit as long as you make the rate, they like people that can talk. As long as you can be friends with the PA's or managers you'll have an easier time moving up. I wouldn't recommend moving up within this company cause the higher up you go the more you get yelled down upon by higher-ups, i hear it's stressful. They're always trying to impress their leader so they're constantly raising the rate. I quit, i took this thing called "the offer," they pay you to quit, but you cannot work for them ever again. But you shouldn't push yourself if you're 7 months pregnant, just put up the bare minimum.

[@matthewjackson9615]

I wouldn't call it all propaganda. Amazon will let you come visit their facilities and see it for yourself. Yes, the employees are busy at work the whole time but at the same time there is nothing nefarious taking place and there is nothing illegal about having to do hard , fast-paced labor. A perspective employee surely must know what they are in for before they sign up. They can readily see for themselves that it's going to be intensive fast-paced non-stop work. If that's not your game, then look elsewhere. And the woman in this video is correct, a machine will tell you what to do and how fast to do it. You're spared the burden of having to think. And if you aren't stepping and fetching fast enough, a red light will come on and a countdown timer will appear on your computer screen letting you know to pick up the pace. The point I'm trying to make is that you can see all of this on a tour, go see for yourself.

Most people don't wear jeans at a job that requires you to stand and walk for 10 hours each shift

She’d be admin for sure. Our admin people are the ones who do all the media stuff, they just chuck a hi vis shirt or vest on over their clothes when they walk through the warehouse because it compulsory for anyone who enters the warehouse part from the offices. That’s why their vests or shirts are so clean. I bought new hi-via shirts recently and within half an hour they go from bright to covered in dirt and dust.

It's hard on the body for the pickers for sure. I was sore all week my first week. My feet bled and my back went out but because I wasn't there for 23 days I didn't get work comp or medical help. Now that it's been over 3 months I still haven't gotten anything. Everything seems to be run outside the warehouse and online or over a phone call. Feels like skynet a little bit. My paychecks were under 200 bucks a week. Not very much but it paid for gas. The pay is 11.75 for seasonal and you get 50 cents more every 6 months. While working youre basically standing or doing squats for the full 10 hour shift minus 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks. My take is it's definitely slave work but they hire anyone who isn't on drugs or have a criminal record so stay in school and only work here if you're out of options

I worked there for 2 months while in between jobs. Contract ended at my previous job, was a tech company, and I had to keep bringing money in, so off to Amazon. Took a huge pay cut, the hours were longer, and the work was insane. The thing I hated the most were the managers and the horrible work environment Amazon has. thankfully I was able to get another job at a different tech company with a much bigger pay and no back breaking work, and it actually uses my degree. It's also full time, so I don't need to worry about a contract ending. Thankfully the experience I had from my previous tech job helped me land my current one, along with internships I took in college. I strongly advise people to stay in school, I know its a pain, but that degree will be worth it. Unless you majored in something useless, like lesbian dance theory.

its really scary you know? Like i can put whatever i want in my cart and click place order, sometimes in under 24 hrs have it on my doorstep, even if the item is a 8 hr drive from my house.

[@gb645]

The only thing I was thinking is that would be my workout

[@stonecold5373]

Tough job. Mad respect for anyone Amazonian who works at a fulfillment center. It is far from easy if you are a picker like me. 7 second tact time is insane, and I managed a record 5.94 just once and I was extremely lucky because of the quantity picks I had from the pods that came. I'm between 7-9 otherwise, and that is if the dang stations aren't breaking down. Great pay, tough hours, lots of ways to build yourself up and most management will work with you and listen. Oh, the place is 1/3 of a mile in diameter. That is not a lie. It is freaking huge. 1 million square feet, 10 football fields, etc. And it is 4 working stories, with the fifth being engineering, blah blah.

[@Cod4Wii]

7 seconds IS insane...

[@stonecold5373]

@@Cod4Wii tell me about it. 90 something perfect of the workforce can't do it and management still tries to shove it down our/your throats! 7 seconds is if you want your body to break...

[@latoyajthemiraclebaby7564]

I make 15.50

[@topofthegreen]

Thats why there is massive turnover, most can’t make it.

[@Funrunner008]

Depend on the state you're in, 17.50 an hour is not much in CA

[@jklfds85]

0:31- That amazon box symbol HONESTLY LOOKS LIKE A FREEMASON SYMBOL. I would not be shocked if that was intentional.

[@Lavish_Clipz]

I live a few blocks from the amazon facility I wonder if I get my package early

[@VictoriousDestiny]

Where's the interviews from the stowers, pickers, counters, and all the other human beings that fulfill all those orders. Damn those robots they don't do most of the work, and I have seen them crash and run over things. I don't know what people expect from an entry level job but $11/hr FT with no experience is good. Yes the walking, climbing stairs, short breaks (30 min lunches for a 10 hr day in ridiculous), bending, mandatory overtime, back breaking labor sucks BUT the benefits are wonderful and affordable. OT is voluntary if you need extra money. Its hot but pretty clean for a warehouse....well at least mine. Its not all bad but yes theres alot of BS to put up with. Especially with favoritism and uppity managers. Once I'm finished with school (that amazon is paying 95% of upfront) I'M OUT!

[@myfavoriteplanet3247]

FYI $11. dollars an hour is horrible pay when Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $160 billion. Slave mentality if you think $11. an hour is good. Jeff makes about $107 million per day.

[@Trippydollface]

As an employee Who is cross trained at amazon (stow, divert, unload, recieve) I love coming into work and seeing what position I get put in. My 10 hour shifts are voluntary I can choose to take VTO and if I want more over time I can ask. There is a lot of favoritism in warehouses towards the ones who have been there longer but once you been there for some time and get to know people you start to love coming in. My schedule may be a little different with working only 4 days and my breaks are 20minutes with 30minutes lunch could be because of the virus

[@Syntaair]

them: "you want it, we got it".... me: "hmm how bout a 55 gallon drum of lube? I doubt it exists...." me: *searches amazon* (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MR3IVO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=socialtech109-20&linkId=2ee6934cf771c4eb7454a5ccebcf1069) me: "seriously wtf????

My parcel is nearly here but this is interesting to see where your packages come from xD

[@miss.phyllisreneefoster9547]

Thank you, Amazon thank you so so so very much I'm so grateful and thankful this is a blessing thank you and have blessed day and happy holidays to you all at amazon Amen.

[@youtubesewers915]

Literally watching CNNs Amazon warehouse news story and Foxs video here, it's literally is 2 different jobs 😂

[@Shalazen]

TY to all the Amazon employees who are working during the Pandemic of 2020.

[@jellyboy123]

the place looks happy

[@micharogalewicz6249]

My little package will have taken ...3,5 weeks to arrive. Long forgotten old good times when stuff would arrive (!) in 2-3 days tops. Dispatch takes longer than that these days.

[@josie4804]

“You name it, we have it” E-even the will to live?!

they should supply segways for the workers

No, American people have to stop being lazy and fat!

[@lelandlee5008]

HELL NO DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY INJURIES AND WORKMANS COMP CLAIMS WOULD BE BROUGHT

[@student908065]

Excuse me you fucking socialist commi. My job as micro fluid engineer should definitely be paid more than some lackey high school drop out flipping burgers. Standardizing pay means nobody would have motivation or incentives to work hard for society. Why I would waste my time and brain power at university when my monetary reward at work is the same as anybody with no education. Ridiculous.

[@Rieksfier]

ACE PA- TRI-CIA Hine's-sight So using your failed liberal logic, we should have burger flippers making the same amount of money as say a cardiac surgeon? You are a special kind of a special kind of a special kind of stupid.

[@Rieksfier]

ACE PA- TRI-CIA Hine's-sight No I won't rethink. Get off your ass and do something with your life and stop waiting for the government to take care of you.

[@MercenaryRandoms]

Nobody talks about the Amazon *Sortation* centers. The picking/packing ones (as shown in this vid) are the true bad places to work .The sortation warehouses are a lot more easy.

[@m.mickeypayne9811]

They say, the computer picks the size of the box. That must be why some of my orders resulted in mashed cereal boxes, with the cereal squares became crumbs, or those boxes where you order a set number items, but you don't get them all.

[@senerg6906]

I always wondered who or what is behind the smiles on the boxes

[@IsaakHunt]

That Bezos guy - he's always happy, living on the back of his not so happy workers.

[@berryfairy68]

Amazing process ... Now I’ll think of this every time I click “place order” 😂

[@8DeaD7]

Also think in the workers getting injuries, yelled at for going to the bathroom, getting written up, penalized multiple times, etc......

[@gocardi7753]

Imagine switching a couple boxes in the stamping part

[@daviddavis5689]

Lately I have noticed some package poorly boxed . Basically all are in amazon boxes loose with no other packing ;so that they slam back and forth when handled by shipping company. This is worse than just factory packaging for many items. My guess is with labor shortage they are getting worse personell because they seem to be from same warehouses.

[@MC-yo6kz]

Harsh conditions?? I freeze in the winter and burn in the summer at FedEx. We get 15 new hires and 70% of them quit. Even my hiring group of 13 only 3 of us are left after a year

[@colinhaney]

Eh, I work at Amazon, and my job is pretty good for a warehouse job, other warehouse jobs I've had sucked way more and paid way less. There's a lot they do right. However, I don't work at one of these huge (and probably hellish) "fulfillment centers," I work at a smaller warehouse that's like the next step in the supply chain. Basically, truckloads of boxes pull up and we sort them into delivery vans. I think if they let people listen to music the job would be a lot better.

[@howardtheduck709]

Currently working at a Sortation center as a scanner and it’s alright but I’ve heard people say that working at these big warehouses is hell. Our warehouse isn’t nearly as big as this one

[@EverlastingEclipses]

this is why my amazon-ordered items sometimes are missing or its not even inside the box at all lol

[@woof3598]

always wondered how the system worked, Im in Iowa, order a part and its here in 2 days

[@naijaaprincess]

Just started n love it.... best job for people with social anxiety and just panic attacks in general. I could never do customer service or retail again!

[@nme.00104]

nessie lewis real glad you've enjoyed being there! got a job there this week in the warehouse, praying it all works well!!

[@jayjohnsonlive]

let us know when you quit or get fired

[@naijaaprincess]

jayjohnsonlive I’m actually getting my blue badge now so they want me as a permanent employee. No mistakes made on my end and I still love working here

[@nme.00104]

nessie lewis that's real awesome!! congrats to you, 😀👌👍👏🤓 I got my job in the warehouse, using the forklift etc. do you work there too?

[@nme.00104]

nessie lewis my start date changed, there was another position that opened that worked better with my schedule. it's sun.-wed 6:30pm-5am. my daughter goes to school by 7:40am, this schedule works much better! the start date is set for 8/25, also, watch empire on Thursday's on tv-one can't miss it. :) definitely let you know how it goes!

Amazon is sweat shop...i would never work there again.

[@alexmackinson]

Or maybe you’re just lazy and want money for doing nothing

[@day_seeker]

@@alexmackinson Have you even worked there

[@alexmackinson]

Wicked Grin yes actually I have and currently still do. Yeah it’s tough but not as bad as people say. I’ve worked at WAY worse

[@day_seeker]

@@alexmackinson That doesn't mean what he said is invalid. It's not like all warehouses have the same management
