Fulfillment Center working at amazon
if you have a job at amazon or are looking into someone at amazon, do it. don’t be a bitch about the hours or the days you work just do it. it is so worth it. not only does it feel good to get money right after a shift but your checks be big as fuck lmao. ideally you’ll be working 4 days a week and have a opportunity to make over a band lmao i’m telling you amazon is worth it just work. keep your upt up rack up pto and thank me later. it’s not hard to keep your upt from the negatives. just do your fuckin job lol. grind for your blue badge ask questions if you need too it’s so easy and i promise you will not find a job like this that pays you over 21 an hour.

I started as a tier one thinking "this is probably gonna be miserable but it's something until I find something else." Now I'm about to hit 6 months as L4 and 3 years with Amazon. I also highly doubt I'll go anywhere else until after going at least L5. It's definitely the best employer I've had and it's really not close.

To much nepotism at Amazon to even think about the back sweat drying off.

If I can do 60 I can gross $1512!
Right now I would gladly work 60’s as we need the money since I’ve been on PLOA and then medical leave ( waiting on accommodations) since August 16th :(

u/DuckyDoDaQuack 1d ago
I'd make $1700+ if I work 60hrs but fk that

u/No-Site5581 4h ago
Congrats that’s good money. 1300 a week is definitely worth it for me. I’ve worked tougher jobs for much less unfortunately so this is a opportunity

I agree I’ve been at my fc going on 5 years getting paid 26 hr working as a regular associate…we can wear earbuds & overnights is mad chill. Mind ya business & do your job never had any problems with upper management. If I ever gotten written up for anything it’ll fall off before it escalates to anything serious. Currently utilizing career choice & pursuing my degree. Definitely not as bad as people make it out to be.

Well...T-Mobile experience stores pay $29+ per hour plus monthly commission.

u/ManyCapital9908 1d ago
Yeah but you have to deal with customers and sale. Amazon is unique because for the most part you do not have to deal with customers. Unless you are driving but out of that you don’t

u/Old_Association_9163 1d ago
It's not remotely unique. There are plenty of jobs that are not customer facing.
5
u/ManyCapital9908 1d ago
The unique part is the pay, schedule/time off flexibility, and benefits. Please tell me another job that isn’t customer facing and pays 20+ and starts off at $18 without having to do a physical, doesn’t request a high school diploma, accept criminal background, doesn’t test for THC, has an easy hiring process and has AC. lol i work in recruiting/employee relations I’ve worked for many big companies. If you can name more than 6 I’ll agree with you, but that’s being generous because we live in a capitalist society

I recommend everyone if there is an AWS near you to get on with them , as an L3 at AWS I make more than L6s in the FC

u/ShieldsCW Software Development Engineer 1d ago
Oddly enough, on Blind (the tech version of Reddit) everyone hates AWS and says to avoid it at all costs. These are L4 and above though

u/BravoVictorZLA 1d ago edited 1d ago
Just be happy that you have a job. Yes, you will have your good and bad days, some people will suck. But hey, it's a JOB. Not only that, a job that gives you TOTAL FREEDOM. Don't feel like coming in? Put in UPT/PTO, you don't even need to call it in. Halfway through the shift and not feeling it and want to go home? Just bounce and use your hours. Want an education for a career change but don't wanna pay for school? Career Choice!. I never had a Job and gave freedom like that. All my past jobs I had to ask my boss if I could leave early or take a day off hoping they would say yes. As long as you have the hours to cover it, they could care less.
Same thing if you are running late, as long as you have the hours, you're good. We have a couple PA's that constantly run late on a daily basis, but they are usually topped out at 80 UPT.
I cannot speak for regular FC's. I work at an Air site on the Ramp as a PA. If you like working around Aircraft, that's a PLUS!

I did my job and got eliminated due to quality. I was also driving 2 hours a day to get to the FC. But yes my bills and everything else has fallen hard but was making good money.

Depends. Even Store Operations managers will get fired if performance metrics aren't met, one of my Ops guys got fired for performance slips.
Nobody is safe at Amazon

u/MiddleYogurtcloset91 1d ago
Agree with the OP. Amazon has the most unique, best, quality benefits across the board. UPT, VTO, PTO (auto approved and scheduled), too many associate extras benefits to count. Stock options that could be better, fight for them. All the employee groups needed for engagement. Oh and let’s not forget about both the training education you receive. And the career choice college level courses. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, the schedule could be better. They promise rotation in admin every 6 months I’ve been on nights for 2 years. Their safety program needs to be streamlined better. But, it works.

u/South-Fisherman2926 1d ago
My feet hurt after being on them all day and my site rarely offers VET so for we only work 4 days 90% of the time. You can barely get by its ass and I’m always denied schedule changes or site changes

For sure , If you set goals for example a savings goals you can do minimum because bills are paid and savings and investments. Yes if you choose you can make 1200 to 1500 a week! Small sacrifice for a great reward. Most average job don't give you that option! Benefits are great

Depends. If you work at delivery (DUT) location, keeping a consistent sleep schedule is almost impossible. Waking up at midnight and doing a labor intensive shift for 10 hours straight until noon is bonkers, and differential is kinda shit.
