Working at Amazon || How I Got Hired , NHO, Training, and Day 1

Hi everyone, it's Destiny. For this video, I talk about my job at Amazon. I talk about how I got hired, new hire orientation, training, and what to expect on day 1. I hope you all enjoy the video, and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe :)

I work at a sortation center too. How you like building those pallets? I just got hired 3 weeks ago and I love it not so much building those pallets lolz. I'm already trained for transporting and splitting. Most of the time they flex up with the night shifts just to give you a heads up. Early morning they don't as much and they give alot of vto too. I hope everything works out for you.

Thanks for all this info! They say "must be able to lift 49 pounds" but I'm a really small person. I don't think I can lift 49 pounds for 10 hours! Any advice for me? Thanks a lot!!!

[@dangggdestiny]

If you have problems lifting anything , I would ask someone( that looks friendly lol) that works along side you .I definitely had trouble lifting some stuff and I just asked someone to help me if I had trouble :)

I was working at Amazon in Customer Service but I think that the shifts were too longs. Like 9 hours and it was todo much for me. Nevertheless it's a good company and I would like to comeback again.

[@Anna-lc4no]

Can you bring in your cellphone(emergency calls) or wear your apple watch while working at Amazon?

[@dangggdestiny]

For cell phones you have to step off the floor to use it for emergency calls . When I was working there , I saw ppl with apple watches on

[@drewskiintergalactic3042]

What ever you do don't make the mistake I did . Don't transfer to there main fulfilment centers. They do not tell you the rate that they require you to meet . Plus they will not let you go back to there sortation centers. They never tell you that . amazon is sneaky like that

[@Anna-lc4no]

Do Amazon part-time seasonal workers get any benefits, medical or retirement plan?

[@dangggdestiny]

I think so

[@Anna-lc4no]

@@dangggdestiny I selected the seasonal part time job on weekends only with Amazon. Does Amazon make you work on the weekdays if you can't work on weekdays due to having another full time job elsewhere?

[@dangggdestiny]

@@Anna-lc4no I don’t think so . If you picked your own schedule and you only work weekends , you won’t work weekdays . The schedule you sign up for is the one you work

Do they test for Marijuana? I’m in California by the way.

[@camillepowell3250]

Does anyone know if training is still online?

[@mattebel3665]

So the drug test is given when you show up for New Hire Orientation? And when you say you had to submit a date for the drug test... do they drug test on site or do they send you somewhere to have it done? And if so do you schedule a time for that?

[@ourjournee]

Drug test is given orally on the site and they send it out

[@ourjournee]

And yes before your first day. So at your interview process
