I’ve seen all three videos back to back, and most of the questions asked have been answered by them. Or they questions are so detailed that maybe someone in HR would better answer it, rather than the girls. People chill out and watch the other videos. Okay bye
Did you ladies work during Peak? I started right before Peak last year and it was intense. 60 hour weeks (6 days a week, 10 hours a day) for 5 weeks. Lots of nice overtime pay though and a good chance for bonus pay since VCP is double during that time. Btw I work at an enormous non-sort FC and most of us ride around on order picker machines or other types of powered industrial trucks. I actually really like working there. It's physically tough work (especially on ship dock) but you get used to it.
Hyh Ddd hard work!! But a job that pays okay and great benefits. if you can make it through the pressure points while working. Take each day for the day, don't focus on the "damn I got two more days of work before I can rest with your days off". It's stressful sometimes, worried about if you're going to get written up that leads to being fired, based on three write-ups. But you only get write-ups with having a lot of errors in your work. But there are ways to work off those errors and there are ways to learn more so you won't make errors! But even the veterans that been there for a long time make errors! But keep trying. Stay a long as you can, if you really want the check and nothing is better coming your way!
I just got hired and waiting for my orientation it was from a hiring event but what confuses me is that will I be working in that location or will I be working at the location I chose to work at?
My site hasn't done any drug test beyond the hiring event that I know of, but there was a time Amcare requested a list of people to see them after shift and people pretty much concluded that they were doing a random drug test. Apparently depending on an work related injury they'll perform a drug test if they feel drugs could have influenced the injury (i.e. yeah he was totally stoned when those boxes collapsed on him in the truck. He must have been in another state of mind and tried hugging the bottom box of a trailer tall wall of boxes.) Yes apparently one of my co-workers said he was injured in inbound and they warned him that they were going to drug test him if he reports it. IDK if the story was true or not, because I've caught the same co-worker in multiple lies. They have cleared lockers once, but I think it was because there's a policy that we cannot keep our stuff in the lockers or even just our locks on the lockers beyond our shift. They never actually enforce it, but I guess they had one or two butt-hurt employees that could never get one of the bigger lockers. I knew that problem was going to happen right away though. Who creates hundreds of lockers in various sizes and tells people that they're renting a lock and not the locker? Of course people are going to keep their locks on the lockers to guarantee that they always have the bigger lockers. I wouldn't be surprised if my site got swept for drugs though. I'm convinced that there's a drug operation going on throughout Amazon warehouses. There are just those few random scanners, TDR, inbound, Logistics and even PAs assigned to specfic parts of the building that will wonder around the trucks, problem solve area, and near the bathrooms. It started to look even more suspect when they had to contract trucker drivers coming in and doing the same thing. Like I know it could be nothing, but you have to admit seeing the same people making trips to the one place that doesn't have cameras(the restrooms) and talking before going in and when coming out does start to look suspicious. ESPECIALLY when the trips are frequent just in one shift. Then there are the managers and PAs that will walk in groggy, but after a few minutes of disappearing after we've gone through a few trucks they're extremely hype and look a little crazy in the eyes. Then there was one time one of my co-workers was talking about how they saw people in inbound taking mysterious black bags from trucks to problem solve. Now problem solve removing damaged packages is one thing, but the way they described it seemed real suspect. And it also corroborated with what I've seen with people constantly looming in areas they aren't even assigned and the restroom trips. I wouldn't be surprised. Pay people poorly, given them access to a huge logistics process, and you make something like this possible. One minute you're working $10-$15/hr, to next your doing an lowkey drug business with your boss that's working with the truck contractors who are the higher up drug suppliers. You see the type of stories one can come up with while working at Amazon? geez. lol I can't even take myself serious sometimes. lol
Model_College_life18 I think the slavery feel comes from the extreme High expectation and the totally fear of the termination whip on your back daily also the extremely high standard to put out hourly, like we are computer fast and accurate.. they took out the fact we are humans, which humans normally have erorrs and work barriers that can slow you down while working! They treat the stow and pick like throw away, break your back for them just to get the boot later
Geeky Swagger Well you’re going to be super excited to finally start get train on your job, glad you made it to be a Amazonian! Your supervisors and HR sell the hell out of working for Amazon so you going to be extremely cited to hear all the stuff that’s going on! first couple weeks full excitement pumping and pushing you! Feeling like credible hawk! And happy for the check. Then your feet will hurt like you been walking the world. your Supervisor will be on your ass to make a high hourly put out rate “ They monitor your every move by the Milli seconds, computer track your every move and reports! Also no errors while working is the standard. They want no error while working. First 3 weeks they given you Verbal warnings, after your 3rd week you will be written up for not making rate “not moving fast like you are a computer”, also you will be written up for errors too. People work really hard but lots Fall because of not making a high rate and errors. Good luck! You will see, your excitement for your new job will have you taking the amazon pick or stow beat down with a smile then it’s fight for your life to keep your job . I made it 3 month and got the royal Amazon boot out the door for 3write ups of not making Rate. Lol got my unemployment and feet don’t hurt no more lol! Pick and Stow is like the Hunger games, somebody is a Tribute every day. It’s better jobs there but not pick or stow
TropicsHunter you got me laughing. You Could be right..! We were told not to use it up, if we do a quick boot out the door! I just completed my second week, and I claimed the VTO. Worry that's going to look bad on me, and they won't be graceful about over looking giving me a real writie up for errors during my first month of working. My whole new hire group got a verbal write up for errors and it was only our 5th day working there! Like damn, no real training period for a trial and error and get right while learning. But they explained to us, it's really not a write-up that counts towards being fired. So called, a documented verbal warning write up, a level down from a real write up that counts to the cold boot out the door. Or they lied to us so we wouldn't panic. One man already pulled I'm quitting, doctors order to physical for his health 😂 real shit omg moment when we heard about it
Not really. They throw you wherever they need people. Once you show them you mean business which takes a few weeks then you can speak with you're manager. At least this is how my warehouse operates
I’m just going tomorrow to apply seasonal but also I’m going to vacation like two weeks I don’t know if it’s fine to go and apply cuz I need a little bit o money for now and then come back to work after my two weeks LOL
So i have been working at amazon for over 3 months, but im not sure if im a permanent associate. I get paid for holidays and have received double vcp for peak. My cousin is a seasonal and she says she doesnt get paid for holiday, but im still not too sure.
I mean for starters if you were seasonal the application would have said seasonal and they would have explained the fact and the chance for conversion to blue badge at the hiring event. If you were not paying attention though, you could always look at the color of your badge. If it's blue... you're permanent.
I've worked at Amazon and I wouldn't recommend anyone to even apply or accept the job. Just like the color of the company and their uniform, orange, it speaks out Prison Life. I mean if you're young, live with your parents, your cellphone is your only bill and has many years of your life to live and waste this job can be perfect for you! But if you have a family to raise, feed and nurture skip this company as other jobs will offer you a better deal!
Hey guys my interview is this coming Tuesday and they asking me to send a picture of myself and send it before going but can I just take a picture from my phone and send it..?
Dang so they have people take their own ID before they've even attended the hiring event now? You better get you the best DSLR camera, because that picture is going to stick with you for LIFE. When I was hired they took the picture at the hiring event and I just remember they used the cheapest external webcam hooked up on their laptop and I just remember not knowing that I was going to get my picture taken for my ID and I had to go to work later so I was in my old jobs uniform. Plus they didn't ask me if the picture was okay. I saw someone else's ID and they were blinking in the picture. I just can't imagine how they thought it was okay to submit a picture into the system with the person's eyes closed. Now that person will have to work with that ID for as long as they work for Amazon. Apparently there is a way to get it changed, but I'm not sure if it's true. I just know all my managers have ugly corny looking IDs and I feel like they would have definitely changed theirs if they knew there was a way.
It’s not about it being legal Alcohol is legal but you can’t be under the influence so don’t take it in the time frame that you’r working but I know weed stays in your system for longer I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 I’m so it would be a No No here
jerseygirl4ever87 they will probably try and get you in very soon if you just got hired because Peak is here and they need more workers. Get ready for mandatory overtime. I'm mentally preparing for 60 hour weeks for 5 weeks. It's tough. I did it last year and you just have to power through it.
saudi arabia i working at amazon as a packaging very simple work the salary is moving better the benifits perfectly receives..complete off and 8hours duty...not crowded...but in america the worst amazon in the world😂😂😂😂
Not trying to be funny, but you know what kind of attention you're going to get right? I mean if you enjoy a bunch of broke old men watching your butt cheeks jiggle while you walk.... go right along. Maybe you'll get a promotion if they right manager catches you.
I don't know if you got hired. I started and just finished my first week. I was kind of nervous to wear leggings plus I wasn't sure if it was okay to wear them. so my first 3 days I didn't wear the Beloved leggings, I Wore extremely loose sweatpants. But after 3 days and seeing 80% of the women wearing leggings or yoga pants, I said f*** it, on my 4th day I wore leggings too. ............ I work in a California fulfillment center, yoga pants and leggings at my facility are everywhere. I was Nervous about my panties going to show through or a sweaty butt issue, So it's going to be a trial and error situation wearing leggings for me, but I'll figure it out! But Now I'm 100% comfortable. .....Stretchy yoga pants and stretchy leggings is the best with all that fast pace moving and standing. I'm a stower.. pray for me I'll make it lol. My second week starts tomorrow. PS: I only wore leggings once, even though other women are wearing leggings and yoga pants I didn't want too, but once I saw lots of women with the fanny pack type of belly and they had their leggings pulled up over their fanny pack type stomach, then I said fuck it.. I'm wearing leggings too. No shame those ladies had! especially the work is taxing on your body, you definitely need to be comfortable. Plus to make rate no man going to be staring at you for too long, they numbers would go down. Amazon count every second of your work activity
I’ve seen all three videos back to back, and most of the questions asked have been answered by them. Or they questions are so detailed that maybe someone in HR would better answer it, rather than the girls.
People chill out and watch the other videos.
Okay bye
You are guys the most helpful hands down about all the Amazon related videos !!! Thank you to made my hiring process so easy !
💐😸😁
Why aren't you working there anymore?
Did you ladies work during Peak? I started right before Peak last year and it was intense. 60 hour weeks (6 days a week, 10 hours a day) for 5 weeks. Lots of nice overtime pay though and a good chance for bonus pay since VCP is double during that time. Btw I work at an enormous non-sort FC and most of us ride around on order picker machines or other types of powered industrial trucks. I actually really like working there. It's physically tough work (especially on ship dock) but you get used to it.
Baby G yea we worked a few peaks, boxes all over the floor lol but no crazy hours just five hour shifts
y’all actually made another video yay💗
Can someone break down the point system requirements while working there? I saw on another page they have some type of point system
Can you work at Amazon and at FedEx at the same time ? Or is it a type of conflict of interest.?
This video makes sense but it really makes more sense if you watch it your first week working there. Geez what a experience
how is it?
Hyh Ddd hard work!! But a job that pays okay and great benefits. if you can make it through the pressure points while working. Take each day for the day, don't focus on the "damn I got two more days of work before I can rest with your days off". It's stressful sometimes, worried about if you're going to get written up that leads to being fired, based on three write-ups. But you only get write-ups with having a lot of errors in your work.

Stay a long as you can, if you really want the check and nothing is better coming your way!
Why don’t you work there anymore?
I was told to go for Stowing cause ya don't have to walk so much,I was told its better than Picking.
I just got hired and waiting for my orientation it was from a hiring event but what confuses me is that will I be working in that location or will I be working at the location I chose to work at?
Can u use headphones???🤔
What type of work shoe you recommend?
I've been at my fc for 10 weeks and they have already done 2 random drug test sweeps. Lots of locker clear outs followed. Lol
Campbell Bazz really?? Lol not at our warehouse 🤷🏻♀️
i just did my orientation and they gave a me a small black harness do you know what job i might be doing?

Can you choose what kind of work you will do? Pick, pack or stow?
Not really. They throw you wherever they need people. Once you show them you mean business which takes a few weeks then you can speak with you're manager. At least this is how my warehouse operates
I’m just going tomorrow to apply seasonal but also I’m going to vacation like two weeks I don’t know if it’s fine to go and apply cuz I need a little bit o money for now and then come back to work after my two weeks LOL
lmfaooo
E cs I have the same question! What did they say to you about your vacation?
do they have smoking section
Vegas warehouses take FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
Are holidays mandatory ? Such as thanksgiving and Christmas ?
If they fall on your chosen schedule to work then yes. For example I chose Weds-Sat at my facility, so I’m stuck working Thanksgiving.
So i have been working at amazon for over 3 months, but im not sure if im a permanent associate. I get paid for holidays and have received double vcp for peak. My cousin is a seasonal and she says she doesnt get paid for holiday, but im still not too sure.
Jose Jacobo If your badge is Blue then you are permanent
I mean for starters if you were seasonal the application would have said seasonal and they would have explained the fact and the chance for conversion to blue badge at the hiring event. If you were not paying attention though, you could always look at the color of your badge. If it's blue... you're permanent.
Why don’t you just ask ?
Are you 2 still at amazon and if so do you recommend working there
make you own fucking decisions, kid
Jim A fuck off
Jim A fuck you
Can you wear headphones? Or listen to music?
Tina the Thrasher technically no, but I would see people with them all the time sooo 🤷🏼♀️
@@BuddyWorld oh I see thx. Great work ladies.

MrFlawsy that's for a scanner. So could be picking, stowing or working on the dock
Wait so you received something and instead of asking at that moment you wait until later and ask someone on youtube? O_o I mean are you shy or....?
I'm gonna wear a g string with water shoes 😂🤣🤣
hair color are you allowed to have colored hair?
Nichole Marquez yea you are 👍🏼

What did you wear for your interview?
WrestlingFangamer0541 you can wear anything. Some came in jeans some came in a suit. They don't care.
Hey girls :)
if they dont let you go to the restroom, employees would shit and pee on the floor, or into those boxes, and ship those boxes to the customers.
Can you some weed if it’s legal in your state ? And if you’re drug test comes back positive for weed will I still get the job ?
It’s not about it being legal Alcohol is legal but you can’t be under the influence so don’t take it in the time frame that you’r working but I know weed stays in your system for longer
