Sortation Associate

I liked that I was able to put myself in a position to become a leader. I was given a multitude of responsibilities such as managing flex drivers, other associate members, and managing outbound packages.

Warehouse Associate

July - September 2018 • Kent, WA

What I liked

There was a set schedule and I was not required to enter when I wasn't scheduled. In other words, I was not asked to come in on days I had not agreed to come in on (though I could volunteer to). Management and coworkers were very nice too. The role was also very physical and required a lot of heavy lifting which is a plus as it kept me active.

What I wish was different

The work was very monotonous, so I wish there was more opportunity to do more around the warehouse. It also did not feel like a position where you could eventually advance in. Shifts were also oftentimes "flexed up" and the 4 hour shift would increase by up to an extra hour.

Advice

It's not as bad as media makes it out to be but the work is still tough and it is understandable why the retention rate of Amazon Fulfillment employees is so low (not because you get treated poorly but because the work requires so much physical activity; you're on your feet the entire shift). Go in, make friends, and be ready to work.
