What I liked

I liked that the managers tried to make the best of the work for us. They encouraged us always, and sometimes they would even come work with us if staff was short.

What I wish was different

The hours were long, I wish they were shorter even if it meant having to work 5 days instead of 4.

Advice

Amazon is a good place to work temporarily but for me, it’s not somewhere I would want to work for the rest of my life unless I had a higher standing position.

Sortation Associate

June - August 2018 • Baltimore, MD

What I liked

There are lots of opportunities to progress in the job if you are working hard. The managers take note of those working the hardest and will put you in other jobs constantly. You will receive higher pay if you stay for a long period of time then what you scheduled. The atmosphere is filled with people to connect with from different backgrounds. There are always opportunities to make friendships at work.

What I wish was different

More time during the break after working for a long time.

Advice

Be prepared to be on your feet for a long period of time doing possibly the same job every day. Do not slack off for a long period of time because they will take notice, if you arent working and take that very seriously. Come to work with a water bottle to stay hydrated when working. Breaks only last for so long, so do not bring a feast to eat during the break. If you start to feel unwell go to their health center, do not continue working if you get worse.

Warehouse Stocker

June - August 2018 • Mundelein, IL

What I liked

I liked the positive attitude of most of the workers there. Even though it was a pretty boring job and we worked the night shift, everyone always came in and was able to make it an enjoyable experience.

What I wish was different

I wish it wasn't so repetitive. We would be doing the same simple job for 7 hours a night, 4 days a week, and it became monotonous quickly.

Advice

I would say to enjoy it as much as you can, and take out of it as much as possible. While it is a repetitive and simple job, it still taught me valuable work skills that I can apply to school and future jobs.
