Warehouse Associate

June - August 2019 • Sussex, WI

What I liked

What I wish was different

This facility had a lot of changes that happened while I was employed there. Basically, the entire system of how packages are store changed and it was really frustrating to a lot of the employees. The new system consisted of a higher layout which was completely out of a safe range of lifting. This made a lot of employees have to use step stools in order to safely reach the new layout - which caused a very big safety problem. The managers did not seem concerned with this. It also drove our numbers down significantly. Another thing that I wish had been different was the way employees were trained. We shadowed an employee for about an hour and then were off on our own and that is all we were taught. Also, communication between management was always a problem. One manager would tell you one thing and the next one would tell you the complete opposite. It was hard to know who to listen too.

Shopper

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I really liked working at Amazon. I have good memory so shopping for items for customers was enjoyable.

What I wish was different

The availability of working hours was competitive. More hours were available after I left for college.

Advice

There’s a lot of free time, during that time shoppers should learn where various items are around the store. This is so when an order comes in shoppers are able to minimize their amount of time shopping. Which will result in customers getting their items on time.

amazon warehouse employee

May - August 2019 • Jefferson, GA

What I liked

The pay and somewhat flexible schedule.

What I wish was different

That the managers treated you as someone with a brain instead of treating you like an idiot that needed to be babied through every tiny task. It was also inefficiently run because of this which was frustrating.
