Top 5 tips To Get Promoted At Amazon | Tier 1 to Tier 3

[@JamalGDNR]

Work hard. Have fun. Make History! Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@Urban_Nature_Guy]

Nope, I've been with Amazon for 8 years. I've noticed that the lazy people get promoted faster than the hard workers. If the good worker get promoted, who will do the grunt work????

[@rileyeastman6762]

You’re onto something..

[@Naeyola]

i agree, i recently got hired and it was 3 learning ambassadors before me and only 1 of them actually taught us stuff and knew what to do. The other 2 didnt have knowledge on anything and sat or walked for 10 hours doing the bare minimum

[@Livlyhood]

You’ve been working with Amazon for eight years?! What department are you in?? What departments have you been in?

[@B3Band]

You call it "lazy." The rest of us with common sense know that those are the people that know how to network, know how to talk to people, and know that moving cardboard well doesn't necessarily mean having leadership skills.

Is an instructor tier 2 position? I just went from stower to problem solver which isn't promotion but I guess a step in the right direction

[@clxtch_64]

There is no tier 2 at Amazon. Tier 1 is an associate and tier 3 would be your process assistant and so on.

[@B3Band]

Just so we're clear...you're a tier 1, never been tier 3?

[@richardvargus7443]

Nope. Ive seen AM no bachelors degree.

[@crispy715]

This is kinda bad advice you want it to be natural not forced if your a people person it will be 2nd nature to talk to your manager, also your manager is not the one going to be giving promotions its HR & that comes down to your resume .

[@417Lotus]

HR still goes to your manager to see if you’re legit. Connections is how you make it in this world. If you can’t show that to someone other than yourself then you’re holding only yourself back

[@moshXpit91]

Without giving too many specifics I can say that I’ve been working for Amazon for about 8 months. Started as a white badge with a basic vest, got my blue badge and an orange vest. Just recently became a Learning Ambassador and absolutely love it!! But the opportunity is already presenting itself to move up to a PA position and I’m extremely excited. Your video is accurate. This is how you do it. Take PRIDE in your work. Show people you give a shit. Amazon can just be a part time seasonal job if that’s what you want, sure. But I’m becoming living proof a little extra effort and you can make a career there and they absolutely will give you all the tools you need to do that. I love working for Amazon ❤️

PA is too much to handle. Not worth the money either. Most regular employees are at $18 already.

[@JamalGDNR]

What are or state do you work in?

[@moshXpit91]

Too much to handle? I think it might depend on what department you work in. It’s fast paced and a lot of multi tasking, sure but I’m not sure id say it’s “too much to handle” for someone with a good work ethic. And I’d say the pay is worth it since it’s more than an AA makes and you actually get full time hours so that’s like double the paycheck

[@princessd803]

Hey can you tell me how the PA interview went.. like what kind of questions they asked?

[@dilvanythagoddess3786]

@@princessd803 they just asked me three questions. Basically they were looking for paying attention, working hard, and making independent judgement. I can't remember the questions off the top of my head but they were real generic. You just need to follow this thing called the STAR method. Amazon publicly promotes it as their interview methodology.

[@Weak_Lee]

At my location my operation manager and area manager know exactly who i am but I don’t know how to become a PA bro

[@ManicObsessiveMe]

If you dont have a degree, you can become an AM after 2 years tenure. Unless there are special events where they do multiple inclines for current PA

@@ienjoyeatinggood2572 sadly nothing at all. No promotion, and no other job training. They trained about 80% other people to do packing and water spider but I’m still a scanner. And I slowed down a shit ton for my rate cause it wasn’t worth it in the end

@@ienjoyeatinggood2572 people just start to realize that their hard work will never be appreciated. That’s why I stopped trying, they don’t pay me any more to be faster. Usually the slow people and the people who do nothing get promoted

[@PhantomGanhdi]

@@ienjoyeatinggood2572 you have to network and talk with your PA and AM. Ask when they have classes for things like PIT, Problem Solve, TDR.. (You also need 10hrs of put or more). Just because you’re a good worker doesn’t mean you’ll be a good leader or manager. Also, most of the time they aren’t going to offer it to you if YOU didn’t make it known what you wanted. If you’re hitting rate and just a good worker, some AMs will leave you there because you’re helping them look good. You have to make your plans known if you haven’t. Lastly, you can try applying on job finder internally for tier 2 and 3 roles. Yes, it is easier to get these positions when you know who’s in charge of it but you can apply for them!

[@Mello_Man_Ace]

I love working for Amazon and been with Amazon for a year and 4 months. I'm located at RDG1 in Pennsylvania. The thing I don't like is the tiers that are in place. I'm a A.F.M which is a Amesty Floor Monitor. I work on the AR floor (Amazon Robotics). A.F.M is a tier 1. Compare to the amount I do it's upsetting to know that Amazon doesn't have tier 2? Why! is what I want to know. Like problem solvers, Learning Ambassadors and A.F.M's should be a tier 2, not a tier 1. It's very unfair and annoying. Also, now Amazon is making it mandatory for all to wear safety shoes starting April 11th. Are they serious about this shyt, idk. But in my position that is useless. And they always expressing how important our safety is. But that's a bunch of crap. They are just trying not to get sued, bottom line. If our safety was top priority. Than working on Prime & Peak day we are all mentally and physically exhausted. For working 10 hour shifts, 6 days . And not once do they care if we end up falling asleep behind the wheel when we are all driving home. And this is one of the biggest safety hazards there is and they never address it. We already had a few accidents where the person fell asleep behind the wheel and got killed. It's bs, and Amazon needs the Union to get involved asap before we lose more lives. I can't just pick up and leave because like many others, I have a family I provide for. And it's always customers obsession. Like the employees are the ones who should be highly appreciated since we are the ones that are getting customers orders out to them on time. But it doesn't work like that at Amazon, money talks & our bs walks? . I'm sick and tired of being treated like a # and not a person. Because we are easily replaced. So even if you worked for Amazon 5 years and messed up just once. They don't care about how many years you put in with them, you are fired? Please let the Union get involved with Amazon, us employees need you because they are treating us like shyt?

@@isaiahthemayor and how is Leadership over there. Because they are off the hook here. Constantly making new rules and doing their best to make us uncomfortable as possible. They are so busy multi tasking . And instead of asking how day is going they want to come up to you and ask you why you a few minutes late from break, I tell him I'm here tho'?? and the one thing that will help us hard ass workers from getting fired because we did the most stupidest thing possible. We need a Union to get involved. We are just numbers to these wannabe leaders. I pray that it happens 🙏🏾 so we can get treated with dignity and most of all human beings. Plus we are in need of new equipment and they won't spend money on any of it. They expect you to be McGuyver and fix it. Wish you luck, plenty of it...💯🙏🏾

[@Mello_Man_Ace]

@@isaiahthemayor my fulfillment center is small stuff nothing is heavy. But starting the 16th of this month we have to wear steel toe shoes. I had asked safety if the metatarsal were good to wear and she said yeah they are good. But then leadership wants to say that there's a 2 week grace period. I'm wearing my metatarsal whether they like it or not. There is no way I'm wearing steel toes for 10 hours on top of all the walking that's required. Lol, and they say it in the name of safety. That's more of a safety issue but they don't care and me my friend idgaf what they have to say I'm not wearing them. How about you do you have to wearing steel toe shoes.

Basically the ambassador is someone who has learned to do their work correctly, and their role is to be teaching the new employees/workers how to do that work. Also i heard that they don’t pay you any more than what you already make.

@@moshXpit91 process guide

[@PhantomGanhdi]

PA = Process Assistant. PG = Process Guide. PGs get the same pay as regular blue badge workers. You do more work but don’t get any type of a raise for it. PAs at least at my facility get anywhere from $1-2 extra & they are still hourly like regular blue badge workers. PAs & PGs can technically be doing the same exact job as each other. PGs are the just a slight step up from regular blue badge associates then it goes PAs & then AMs. At least at my facility the PG role is meant to prepare you for the PA role & the PA role is meant to prepare you for the AM role. Once you get to the AM role you become salary & everything above AM is salary. Within the PA role there are different tiers are whatever to it so different PAs can be making more or less than other PAs. The AMs also have different levels like the L4 AM is the entry level AM & is usually reserved for fresh college students out of college & L1 or L3 associates who then moved up to an AM.
