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.

Order Picker

What I liked

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

I wish they had allowed me to take a few days off for the family reunion.

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.
