Amazon Fulfillment

Amazon Worker

June - August 2020 • Twinsburg, OH

What I liked

It was great working for Amazon as they care a lot about their employees. They give great benefits and applying is very easy. I did not even have an interview. They just immediately hired me after a background check.

What I wish was different

I was originally planning on going back to Olympus Surgical Technologies America for my last Co-op rotation but because of COVID-19, my Co-op was suspended. So I had to quickly find a replacement job. Happily, Amazon quickly hired me and I had a summer job that paid pretty well too. However, I do wish I could have gone back to Olympus because it was more conducive for my career.

Advice

If you work at Amazon, definitely apply to get your Blue Badge. You are eligible after a few months of working there (I don't remember the exact time frame) but getting your Blue Badge includes a lot of the benefits including but not limited to 30 hours of unpaid time off and also a reasonable amount of paid time off as well.

I liked that I had a set schedule every week, and that I could work two days, then have a day off, then work two days, and have the weekend off.

What I wish was different

Advice

A piece of advice is to be prepared for hard work. It takes work physically, because you might be standing for 10 hours straight. It also requires mental work, to entertain yourself, rather than ending up hating your job because you get so bored. Be prepared.

Area Manager

June - August 2019 • Fresno, CA

What I liked

I really liked how Amazon made us feel part of the time right away, we were handed a big project from the start and we never felt like a traditional intern.

What I wish was different

I wish there would have been more time to learn the system before having to work on the project. It was hard balancing learning what everything was and trying to make an impact at the same time.

Advice

Ask questions, don’t be afraid to ask for help, let your manager know if something is unclear for you, and make sure that you have fun more than you’re stressing out because the time goes by fast.
