Working at Amazon Warehouse: Training Day

[@Em-sd8zm]

I have PTSD and a lot of social anxiety that makes finding a job hell. Most jobs require you to talk to people which I’m able to do, but really exhausts me. A job where I don’t have to talk to anyone and repeat similar tasks is not good for everyone, but for me it’s prefect. EDIT: thanks for the likes guys!! Thought I’d give an update… I’ve been working somewhere else for a few months now. Amazon was good, definitely not perfect. I think it’s depends on your site, your task, management team and your peers. My fulfilment centre was small and did not have a lot of the new technology, we moved a lot of stuff manually and it was too physically straining for me.

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

I agree. This job is a blessing to many.

[@cameronbarnes4157]

For those that starting at Amazon, ima give you an update on how its going for me. It's been over a month since i've started working with them, you don't have to deal with customers and 9/10 times (as long as you don't screw up) you will hardly see your managers/supervisors. It's hard work but as he mentions in the video, it's easy work. Headphones aren't allowed BUT if you have a neck gaiter, you can wear it and hide your airpods in it and listen to music while you're working, just don't get caught lmao. I personally love it and it's perfect for people that don't want to deal with the general public and the karens.

[@cameronbarnes4157]

Also, I start my new role as a learning ambassador next week! So if you work hard and show up on time, they promote extremely quick!

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

well said, just don't get caught lol.

Thank you very much

[@voithy8351]

Idk if anyone would care but I’ll tell you what I just did for my first day. Just to be clear I only did customer returns today nothing else. So you walk in get your badge then they walk you to a room where you sit for 5 hours and watch video on what to do and not to do. Heads up get a seat in the back lol my neck still hurts from looking up. You take a 30 minute lunch break between the 5 hours. Then you go on a Tour of the factory then after that they show you everything you will be doing. All you have to do on the computer is basic self explanatory stuff of the job you will be doing. It’s okay to Ask questions they know you don’t know anything and you don’t want to just stand there looking like a deer in the headlights. If you want me to go in depth of the job just tell me and I’ll respond

I'm on my day 7 of working in amazon. I used to do out-bound wall building and some times water spidering for the first couple days. Now i'm a learning ambassador. I know, its crazy to get promoted that quickly but my tip is to work really hard but dont push yourself too much. Just do the hourly targets and be punctual. And the most important thing is to be friendly to people, If someone needs help, you should help them especially if one of the managers needs it.

Do they train well? And are your daily work areas clearly laid out to you? I’m worried that I’ll be confused as to where to go in such a big place

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

some trainers (learning ambassador as they call them) are very thorough. some just throw you in there and only help when a problem occurs. good thing is that the majority of the jobs are very simple. the work area is not clearly labeled, but it's typically very easy to learn. the difficult part is that it's very repetitive so it can get extremely boring. delivery stations on the other hand can be much more fast pace and demanding. your first week you're with your new hire group and trainer. they will tell you where to report each day.

[@travisj5736]

Hey! so I worked at a sorting center this summer and I'm starting to work at a fulfillment center this sunday. I am also 18 and a college freshman, and I have no complaints about amazon other than it being kinda repetitive. You don't interact with people that much during shifts especially with covid. ( I used to work at a resutrant so its a major difference in social interaction lol) But I would highly recommend amazon. It pays really well for our age and is a great workout, is basically an automatic hire, and some places let you make up your own schedule. I wish you luck with whatever you do!

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

@erin Nicole This would be a great first job for anyone. The job doesn’t require much human interaction. $15/hr for a first job is great.

I recommend getting a job that gets you out of that anxiety. I was exactly the same way pretty badly until I worked at Olive Garden in the kitchen. Forces you to open up. Glad I did!

[@JuanLulli]

Just subscribed to your channel. I really enjoy the Sugar family! Congrats! questions: 1) if you can’t or shouldn’t carry your phone, when do you know your times for paid or unpaid breaks? 2) iHow loud is the warehouse, say for a person who has a hearing problem and where her hearing device is not suited for spaces that have continual incessant noise level? 3) are you still working at amz, and if not, how did it prepare you for your next stage career work?

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

1. you can have your phones in your pocket. the area manager will tell you the break and lunch times. it's the same time every shift. 2. it's not loud, but there are area's where there's a constant sound of air flow. like the air flow sound by the entrance of grocery stores, that blocks the bugs from coming in. when you speak to someone standing next to you there's no need to yell. 3. i left last year in december. The area i'm in now does not have a warehouse nearby. it helped me to be humble, i truly appreciate the opportunity and experience. I knew it's not something I wanted to do long term and helps me understand how the process works whenever i buy something on amazon. it's definitely not for everyone, but it's not a bad job as some may say. just different.

3:43 those original clippers bringing back the good old days when i met cool people. My first days and months. I got laid off recently. I worked there for 1 year and 2 months. I was always top 10 rate employees. But that doesn’t matter. Depending on certain days, you’d get a slow rate due to slow work or no supplies. In 2022, amazon was the slowest it’s ever been. They laid off many employees. It sucks a lot, because i know some people like me were hard workers as well. Now we gotta look for jobs to pay rent.

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

You didn’t see any additional numbers in the offer letter next to the words “shift Differential (if applicable)”? Also when you originally applied for the position did you see that it showed $17.2? I would call HR. Log back into your Amazon force and the HR number should be at the bottom.

Sorry to hear that. Yes I understand your situation. I have done retail most of my life. Most of the job in the fulfillment centers are easy. There’s a lot of standing for long periods and lots of work without without socializing. You can always apply and give it a try. If you don’t like it you’re able to resign straight from the Amazon A to Z app. If you desire you can reapply for a different position or location. one of my trainers was straight out of high school and it was her first job so it’s it difficult.

The position that I just applied for in Warehouse Shopper/Team Member. I used to work as a Seasonal Amazon Prime Shopper at Whole Foods last year. Working at whole foods allowed you to have one headphone in to listen to music and shop around in the grocery aisle and pack the ambient, frozen items up and put them in the right location so that way the Amazon Delivery team can pick it up delivery the items. Being a seasonal amazon prime time shopper, I was basically the middle person before the delivery team delivers everything. How is it as a Warehouse/ Shopper Team Member?

@@FinanceFaithFamily Thank you for responding. I'm assuming the Warehouse is basically like the Amazon Fulfillment Center. How are the shifts? Can you work four five hour shifts at a time? Or does it have it to be 8 to 10 hours? Can you choose to make your own schedule at the Amazon Fulfillment Center?

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

@@realizenreality most shifts i have seen are 9-10.5 hours . I am part time. i only work 2 days a week. 20 hours a week. it doesn't change. you select your shift during the application process on Amazon Force. check my Amazon Part 1 Video for how to steps and link.

[@GrenadaLovee]

I applied twice for this position and was turned down. Didn't seem like any special needs were needed and my schedule was fully open. Now I'm at Amazon. Was there anything you feel would help next time I apply? Lol at least now I can say I have warehouse experience

[@courtneyr1291]

If I decide to bring my own book bag does it have to be clear and transparent or can it be any color? Also will get in trouble if I decide not to use a locker?

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

It has to be clear and transparent. You don’t have to use the lockers. You won’t get in trouble for not using them.

[@courtneyr1291]

@@FinanceFaithFamily What about a clear fanny pack, can I keep it on me while I work?

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

yes, you can carry that. i've seen most people just set it by their side on the floor as some of the work requires a lot of movement.

[@calebb7012]

No mention of the mandatory (MET) overtime? That actually violates labour laws here in Canada. An employer can't force you to work over 40 hours a week unless you agree to it. I was just handed a revised contract stating that there will be MET at my site.

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

from my experience during the holidays and during the week of Prime day is where MET pops up. if you're a full timer, they want you to work 1 extra day (on top of your regular 40 hours week). also we would come in 1 extra hour early in the morning too. so if you were scheduled Sun-Wed 7AM-6PM, during holidays and "peak season" we would have to come in Sun-Wed + 1 extra day 6AM-6PM. hope that helps.

Hey man quick question, would it matter if i took my breaks at times, for example, my breaks are usually at 10:30 pm and everyone else leaves for break at 10:00 pm and there is no work for me, would it affect me clocking out for my breaks early 30 minutes with everyone else?

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

Ask your area manager. I’ve seen it where a few people come in during a mid shift so their breaks differ. The manager gives them work while everyone else is on break. Now if you’re not doing anything while everyone is on break then yeah they can get you in trouble for time off task (TOT) which can be termination. So be sure to ask your manager!

[@gitzbitz7613]

@@FinanceFaithFamily in your area would you get in trouble for taking a break earlier than what your original break time was? Since mine is at 10:30 and everyone elses is at 10:00 i want to take it the same as theres just so i dont have to worry about just standing there lol

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

Yeah we would get in trouble. Quite a few times I see people leaving to lunch 3-5 mins early and the managers will make an announcement telling them we have to leave at exact time.

Is it possible that I can move from seasonal to permanent in matter of weeks time if I prove that I want the job?

Absolutely. If your rate is good or even decent the system will send you an email saying you’re eligible for conversion. I received the email after 30 days.

Hello, great video ~ Does Amazon require back-to-back 12 hour shifts only or are you allowed to work standard, 8 hour shifts? I've heard stories of people having to work 3-4 days in a row of 12 hour shifts and that seems very physically demanding. I am 57 years old and wonder if I'm allowed more days of work in a given week but with shorter shifts; so am I allowed to do that ~ (???) Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

Typically it’s 2-4 days a week with longer shifts. During the application process you will see exactly what shifts are available, and the total hours a week. You basically select your schedule during the application process. Watch my part 1 video to see how to apply. from my experience The only Amazon location with short hours are Whole Foods.

not that i know. more than likely they will tell you to resign and reapply for a different shift. they're not very accommodating. but it's worth asking the HR office. there should be an HR office in your warehouse

Hey after joining can I change my shift which I choose while applying for the job and can I opt for smaller time like 4-5 hours?

[@FinanceFaithFamily]

After you apply if you want to change shift or jobs you’ll have to be a blue badge. You can change shift straight from the A to Z app once you become blue badge. As far as I know in the fulfillment centers 4-5 hours don’t exist.

[@AndrewOchoa94]

You can apply for a schedule accommodation and you might be able to get 4-5 hours if it gets approved

if you are a blue badge you can put in a request to change jobs. the job has to be available in order to transfer to a different position. i would try calling HR and see how it's done. i've never done it myself but i've seen people move to different departments .

nope. no cameras allowed. Phones are allowed in all FC's temporarily due to covid. Hell the only four FC's that allow phones that i know are SDF4, SDF6, SDF9, and LUK7. and Honestly after covid all FC's will most likely ban phones because of everyone taking videos and pictures at amazon
