i lost all the weight i gained from being in quarantine and i've only worked there for a month. i've also already been converted from a seasonal to a regular employee which means i can get health insurance now. it's the highest paying job i have had because there are always extra hours available. you barely need to talk to your coworkers or managers. you have a set schedule and can easily take time off. time goes by fast because there is so much work to do. it is the best job i have ever had and nothing like i thought it would be.
This is true I've worked at many other warehouses, seeing people call what amazon is doing slavery is the funniest thing I've heard. Little do they know how good they have it at amazon.
Since working at amazon I walk about 10-12 miles a day, 4 days a week. In 4 months I've lost 30lbs, it's replaced the gym for me. We also have vending machines for free items like gloves, harnesses, electrolytes, etc. And this job definitely builds character, and at my facility I'm a top trainer for both my shifts, so I'm not only working on the floor but training all our new hires and doing continued education for current associates. Work hard, have fun, make history! I love my Amazon job.
it is a really unique job.. a lot of different paths you can take with it. Whether that be to fund your school, temporary, moving up the ladder, part time
I was 18 years old (19 in two weeks) when I first started in Amazon, and it’s one of the greatest decision for me. It wasn’t that bad and I truly enjoy working even if my schedule messed up my face due to acne breakouts and sleep schedule. It started two months ago and I still love it
Keep the job other jobs out there will never promise you a set schedule or hours. If the do they are just trying to get you in there so they can try to trap you at that job. Because sooner or later they'll try to get in between you and your schooling or personal life.
Two months at Amazon and it's been pretty great. Yes, it's veryyyyy tiring and your feet will feel like you stepped on legos for hours, but you get used to it. You become faster, more efficient, and wiser the more you continue to work. My advice for those starting out would be to invest in really good running shoes, constantly watch how the fastest people work and try to imitate them, and ask around what you could do to move up or move to an easier position.
@@NFZProductions Defs the earbuds. If I forget my earbuds, I have a jacket with an inside chest pocket so sometimes I’ll play music in that pocket while I stow in my own aisle. I’ll pretend like I’m scratching my chest when someone comes by so that I can turn down the volume lol
Say what you want about amazon but I see it as a great opportunity that has good pay and people with social anxiety like me. As boring as this job can get i cant really complain because im scared to go out and try other jobs
Retail jobs suck ass. Even the union ones. Takes forever to get full time. That only with union jobs. Pay retail keep you under 40 hours so they don't have to give you benfits. Leaving slave way was the happiest moment of my life.
Whether you enjoy the job or not is completely up to the individual. Some people can’t handle all the heavy work but for some it’s great. I love that it makes time pass quickly and you also get a work out while at work. Hours are flexible, most people are nice, and you will get the hang of things before your first week is even over! Also if you work at Amazon you won’t be needing a gym membership at all lol
Nice I'm staring tomorrow shifts start from 6:30 am - 1pm. But I'm 21 weighing 110kg so I'm hoping to stay consistent at the gym 5 days a week right after finishing work going home eating and leaving right back for the warehouse. Imma leave update on my weight progress and how my time at amazon is tomorrow
@@lee_rayyy58 Amazon is getting progressively easier by the week, my bench is still at 100kg max, deadlift PR 120kg and recently tried squatting yesterday at 60kg, however I weigh 107kg atm took some videos of me. During my routine might make a TikTok
I was a dishwasher for 2 years before applying at Amazon, a lot of the time I’d do double shifts (12+ hours) and was getting paid dirt cheap while having to carry heavier things and dealing with disgusting leftover food. Amazon is a piece of cake compared to that.
Yup worst job I had was at souplantation as a dishwasher I would work 5 hour shifts usually but it felt like 10-12 hours at my other jobs. It was nonstop washing dishes getting backed up everybody was stressed out and angry, I was always dirty and ended up getting eczema flair ups in my hands from working there, that still lasts to this day many years later. All the while I was getting paid a dollar less than minimum wage at the time.
Only been working for two weeks and I love it, feels like a workout the whole shift!! ((: appreciate the videos you drop they really prepped me for long shifts keep up w the quality vids but you should do investment videos as well if you do that on that side as well :D
He’s right about the walking. It’s no joke! I worked at a private preschool previously and my steps on my Apple Watch activity rings (calories burned, workout, & standing)..I would get an average of 7,000 steps daily with incomplete rings. Since I started Amazon, my steps jumped to an average of 19,000 steps and I close all 3 of my activity rings every single shift.
Just finished my first 2 weeks! Prime week was a nightmare and I had to MET 2 days 😂 At least my pay check will be nice. You are so right about unexpectedly losing weight; i’ve lost around 5 pounds even though i’ve been eating more than ever to bulk up for those long shifts.
Just started last week I love this job ! Benefits are fantastic , and I purposely will walk out to my car every lunch break to get the exercise I need . Before I was doing nothing . I feel 100 percent better . Yes they have the same vending machines with gloves , glove holders , wrist wraps and safety vests completely free . Great channel keep it up bro !!
I just started 2 weeks ago, they started me out on the PIT machines as a stower. Yes the job is tiring but it's all worth it in the end! I'm recently out of tech school and couldn't find a good paying job. Amazon is helping in so many ways! Everyone that works there are very nice people and not to mention the pay is great! If you were in the predicament I was in I highly recommend getting a job at Amazon.
I have been working at amazon since aug 23rd, i roughly walk around 11 miles a night. I'd say the best way to get in shape is doing a waterspider role moving pallets for induction often or unloading.
For people wondering would you really lose weight at amazon. Yes I’m a return processor picking up boxes allday moving around allday and I’ve lost a couple over 5 pounds
started at a delivery station 2 weeks ago and i gotta say, it's pretty hard for the first day but you get used to it. plus, we do 3 different jobs for the whole day so it goes by quite fast. 1st we do sorting/stowing then we do picking and finally we place the delivert bags back on the shelves so the next shift is able to stow the packages. plus on fridays we get to leave an hour early and get to clock out on our a to z app which is the best thing. vending machines are different for us we get the basics like safety vest and gloves.
interesting. Sounds a lot different than my location since I get almost none of that. But maybe it is because you mentioned you are at a delivery station and Im at an FC
Your videos really helped me prepare mentally for amazon, one week in of stowing shits dead easy imma tetris fiend, so it comes easy, and I love the physicality of the job keep up the great videos my dude
These videos are very helpful I'm going to start working next Sunday from 7am until 5:30pm. I started working out in a gym at my condo so I can get use to standing and walking when I do work.
Current economic situation is the main reason to work a job like Amazon. It will give you stable income and insurance. If you are smart/educated, hardworking, resourceful, etc. you should probably aim higher for yourself. But as we all know, finding a job opportunity you're that 100% happy with will be easier said than done for a while. If you do sign on, be ready to work. It's not particularly hard work, but it's extremely boring, mentally tiring and you will be 100% accountable for being productive.
I Subscribed To Your Utube Channel Because I Work At Amazon Facility. Also I wouldn't have Subscribed if your conversations weren't so clear clean concise accurate. I Admire your dedication & your help, it means a lot. Stay Encouraged With A Smile...
Just finished my new hire documents. Gotta wait a couple more days to receive my new hire orientation email. Im so anxious to start lol but I hope I like this job. Reading these comments have uplifted me a lot more with other people's positive experience at work.
People hate on Amazon but I love it I lowkey feel bad I have another job 2-10 and my Amazon schedule 1:20am to 12 which is way too long that’s my only con because that’s too long for that early in the AM so I been racking up my points but they’re way more professional than other warehouse jobs
I just finished my first month. It’s really not as bad as everyone says. I like it so far. Time goes by really fast! We’ll be entering peak season soon, so we’ll see how it goes 💆🏽♀️
@@NFZProductions it takes me about an hour to get to my job and about 1.5 to 2 hours to get home because of traffic on peak which hasn't come yet but I do have met this coming week I'm gonna have to go to bed nearly as soon as I get home I live FAR from my job just finished my first week.
After watching your videos I finally decided to quit my job as a CNA and start a new career. Thank you! One thing that I will always remember you said was “don’t work too hard” cos you don’t get incentives for doing it and they might think you good at it so you should just stay in your position.

I’m from Miami, and i’ve been trying to apply to work at an amazon warehouse but it’s so complicated, there’s a huge amount of people trying to get the job too, plus me having no experience cause this would be literally my first job
I have been working for 2 weeks as "Santa Helper" (assistant supervisor). My legs and especially my feet hurt a lot from standing 9 hours in safety boots.
I arrived in Texas on the 30th of last month. On the 2nd I applied online, had my interview on the 5th and I start my first day on the 24th....ALL thanks to this dude and his vids!! BTW I had smoked weed less than a week before I did my drug test.. and I passed 😀
I started working in Amazon warehouse on 1st of October and I’m in packing department and working in Amazon specially in Germany is way more different than US...
At the fulfillment center I work at the managers are sooo cool (I pack) they play music during the whole day all type of music, popular music and we can have head phones in and be on our phones and sit when we have down time!! BEST job I’ve ever had even if it is tiring
I work at Fresh and our vending machines have box cutters, gloves, and full cold weather face mask. There's no limit on them, we just type in a code and go.
I lost weight (week 2) Bc I’m eating better too More frequently & on a consistent basis So each short break I’ll have fruit & water & lunch I’ll have small portion of food or pb&j that keeps me going all day I need to pack extra fruit for end of shift Bc i leave out of there starving!! 😂😂
I started 2 weeks ago; starting my third week now, and it’s a great job (super easy)! Just got an email already about being from seasonal to a regular worker! At my delivery station, all ambassadors are super nice and aren’t that strict. My second half of my shift is probably the best part because of after pick and staging; getting a “mini break” before the actual last 20 min break 😂 and yes, I’ve lost 5 pounds in the span of 2 weeks I’ve been working at my station.
Im an AM at a SC. I lost 15lbs just from walking all day. Also, everything you mentioned is spot on! Edit: except for the break room. Due to covid 19, break room amenities are mostly gone/inaccessible. We use to have ping pong tables, pool tables and an xbox at our facility but since spring, we've removed them for social distancing measures. Losing a lot of weight because I walk a lot (~10 miles/day as measured by my Garmin watch) and I honestly cannot get a full 30 min uninterrupted lunch break so all I can do is chow down a small sandwich before someone radios me or chimes me. Other than that everything is 100% accurate :P
@@informativeandentertaining9539 for T1 AAs you should get a welcome kit with some pins, a water bottle and/or a coffee mug (porcelain) and a voucher for safety shoes.
@@NFZProductions , so I've worked 6 overnight and one mandatory OT shift, i'm working in outbound in singles. it really is a Great job. I enjoy the hours but my feet are KILLING me by about two hours before the end of shift!
I just completed my 1st day. I am at a sortation center. My feet are definitely killing me! I am super excited to see where this will go. I am part time seasonal. I hope before long I can get full time and become a regular employee. Thank you for all of your videos. I really wish I had found them sooner!
Thank you so much for answering my questions, ☺️ yes I agree on the reasons and also the vendor machines have the products at very low cost, lower than Walmart 😱
Been at Amazon for a month...I’m a stower as well. I watched your videos before starting my first day and it truly helped relieve some nerves. Thank you! So far it’s been good but I thought since peak season is coming around there would be OT. I was told by my manager there would be none in this facility (new facility in CA) since it’s at it’s full capacity. 🤷🏽♀️
I have a galaxy watch active 2 and it tracks my steps. I pack and usually in a day, I'm around 12 to 15 thousand steps in a 10 hour shift which is a lot seeing as when you pack, the only time you actually walk somewhere is to get supplies for your station or going on break. But some days, if I'm water spidering or working on the slam line, I get up to 35000 steps in a shift. I run a lot on my off time, so to put it in perspective, today I ran 20 miles, which put me at around 35000 steps (including all the walking you do just around the house). So yeah, more than likely, you'll get your daily 10000 steps that is recommended. I highly advise, you take advantage of the 110 credit they give you to get some decent shoes. They have a limited selection, but I'm certain they have something comfortable for everyone.
Amazon is most certainly the biggest employer in my town at the moment. 4 weeks in now and I'm making more money than iv done in a long time. I see a great opportunity here.
About the vending machines we have a lot of vending machines . One machine has gloves, box cutters and vests. Another machine had bandaids, Advil,Tylenol, eye drops, and q tips,. Our last machine has shoe inserts. We don’t use our badges on these machines, we can get what we want, as much and whenever
Amazon likes America so much more lol. I work at a warehouse in Canada and we don’t get anything fun like you guys. No food/free swag. But that’s okay, the thing that bothers me is there’s not enough room in the break rooms and we aren’t allowed to stand inside so people need to take their breaks outside in the -10degrees. Not everyone drives!
Oh wow this does sound a lot different! And for me, the weather is never an issue because I live in Texas. But i see how that could be unfortunate if you live more north like Canada
the vending machines are at every amazon locations. most Items are the same but some are different depending on what location you work at. (fulfillment center, sort center, delivery station, fresh, prime now and Whole Foods)
awesome videos! I am picking up a 36-40 hour job at a warehouse as a second job in the coming week(s). three nights a week Th, Fr, Sat. And your videos are very informative.
My bro and to all you youngsters reading this. Another good part time job if they’re hiring would be in a more successful dental laboratory. A lot of labs will teach you basic such as model work. It won’t pay much at first but once you learn you can earn up to $16hr just doing model work. And the more you’re willing to learn the more advancement opportunities doing others jobs in the lab which will mean more money. Just a suggestion.
I work at an Amazon sortation center and yes we have the vending machines but ours don't include caffeine or electrolytes but they do have gloves, harnesses and medications.
I work at a delivery station in the UK and we do get PPE but that's not in a vending machines it's at a separate station (a mobile metal shelf) but the gloves and similar things are kept in 1 vending machine but those are reusable washable gloves etc. Don't really need loads of vending machines. It's a nice touch to have water stations as well so we can keep hydrated. And Amazon management will tell you to drink water if you start to sweat which I do often. This channel was one of the main reasons I joined Amazon
@@NFZProductions I was lucky I watched your videos on preparing to work for Amazon like get insoles for shoes, the points system and more and that has made the experience much better as they never tell you so it was great help. You should do a video on the tasks you do and what they are in detail so it gives people are better understanding on what things they could be doing at work
Suscribed! Thanks for putting out these videos. I’m kind of considering this as a potential way to bridge a career change from civil engineering to software development. Seems like right now working similar hours I can get payed the same anyway...
I worked at a retail job before Amazon and didn't realize just how badly out of shape I was until I started working at Amazon I would say My overall well-being had increased. I'm not going to say that there wasn't days where I was sore there was. Just go to one of the Asian massage parlors in spend at least $30 on a good massage
shii i miss working at amazon it was so easy and fun 🤧 i got a new job at staples fulfillment center and i definitely have to work harder here but it is what it is
Having friends and family working at Amazon it seems like you definitely want to work for contracting supporting services. They are paid way better and have a lot of more leeway instead of the pressures of being looked over for production and quantities being shipped. So being a building supporting or some kind of service tech my guys are making 30 plus dollars an hour and they have a lot of downtime and standing time Amazon doesn't know how much they're actually losing outsourcing instead of having it internally controlled.
The work is easy in my opinion as long you bend your legs, eat before your shift and wear comfortable clothes i dont know if im lucky but our fc is quality still cant work out how some people are picking 600+ uph during competitions though
Here in jacksonville florida. I work at the delivery station. Most people here swing positions and do everything. Which is nice so that its equal for everyone. The social distancing people yelling get a bit annoying when we start picking so i learned to just take my time and get in where i fit in so we dont get write ups
Wow I guess my FC is more chill. They don’t actually yell when you’re not social distancing, but they kindly tell you to spread out if you’re too close.
Well i shouldnt say "yelling" but there is one guy who just takes it too far. These people were training and in a group so its hard to hear in there. Guy goes "6 feet!" The people spread out then guy goes "make it 7 just in case" like come on man.
Although I don't work for Amazon, I do work for a FC in the apparel industry, and I walk an average of 7-10 miles a shift (6:30-4:00) and I went from 240 in November of 2020 to 205 as of October 2021.
Hey bro I don’t know if your aware but Amazon will give u 110 credit towards safety work shoe thru Zappos , I just found this out the other day easy to sign up and if you can’t do for some reason or another on the website all you have to do is call there number . Just thought I put that out there for you and your subscribers . They have a ton of options and some good looking shoes . Keep the videos coming good content your putting out 👍
i work at a FC in Maryland and they do have those "vending" machines for gloves and stuff, i've been working there for 6 months and honestly is not that bad it is a job and they pay is great, you don't need to talk to anyone once you know what to do, I sort so i walk about 7 miles in my 10 hour shift :)
I just started working at Amazon in Raleigh Nc i just just finished my first week i work in inbound 3 shift it’s not that bad just long hours and a lot of standing my job is to open the boxes and put them in yellow containers and just do that for 10 hours my mangers are really chill they let us listen to music but it’s only my first week but i would say apply to amazon if you can handle the physical labor

this makes me very happy reading, i just applied and i was nervous what it would be like when getting a job
U can get health insurance time u start
How long does that take to become a full-time employee from seasonal?
Okay this makes me feel a bit better. I was legit getting scared watching some videos
Unpopular opinion: Amazon isn't that bad of a company, in fact, they're better than most other companies with the same type of work.
i agree with your unpopular opinion
It depends if its robotics warehouse
agreed. considering my last job
I worked at ups and FedEx and Amazon is way better

thanks so much man! 🙏 We both stowers and yeah it's easy work!
Thanks for all the information. I start my 1st shift in 2 hrs. 4/2/2021 10 hr Friday-Monday looking forward to loosing at least 100 lbs in 1 year.

These videos are very helpful I'm going to start working next Sunday from 7am until 5:30pm. I started working out in a gym at my condo so I can get use to standing and walking when I do work.
I actually like working at amazon. I started about 3 months ago and after 1 month and a half I got converted to blue badge :)
yay that's greats news!! congrats to you!
How do they convert you from seasonal to full-time?? I start on the 19th
I’m on the ship dock in my fulfillment center, god this job is tiring, and we are already getting mandatory overtime due to prime week
oh man.. I heard the docks are harder!
It’s just brain dead work for 10 hours,
Working the line and water spidering
Don’t drink before prime week😂
Ship dock is tiring a little bit but when its busy my time goes by fast. So I don't mind it.
I love the docks! Just have me on the slides all day and manual and i'm good
Current economic situation is the main reason to work a job like Amazon. It will give you stable income and insurance. If you are smart/educated, hardworking, resourceful, etc. you should probably aim higher for yourself. But as we all know, finding a job opportunity you're that 100% happy with will be easier said than done for a while. If you do sign on, be ready to work. It's not particularly hard work, but it's extremely boring, mentally tiring and you will be 100% accountable for being productive.
exactly man! I think now more than ever this Amazon job is being looked into
I Subscribed To Your Utube Channel Because I Work At Amazon Facility. Also I wouldn't have Subscribed if your conversations weren't so clear clean concise accurate.
I Admire your dedication & your help, it means a lot.
Stay Encouraged With A Smile...
Thank you so much!! I'm happy it was useful!
Definitely is tiring especially since yesterday I walked about 40000 steps in an 8 hour shift but the pay and benefits are great
yes benefits and pay are not terrible at all
So 20 Miles a shift ?
Just finished my new hire documents. Gotta wait a couple more days to receive my new hire orientation email. Im so anxious to start lol but I hope I like this job. Reading these comments have uplifted me a lot more with other people's positive experience at work.
That's good! Yes I have noticed a lot of people commenting their positive experiences too!
u got this!
People hate on Amazon but I love it I lowkey feel bad I have another job 2-10 and my Amazon schedule 1:20am to 12 which is way too long that’s my only con because that’s too long for that early in the AM so I been racking up my points but they’re way more professional than other warehouse jobs
wow that's crazy.. you work so much!!
I just finished my first month. It’s really not as bad as everyone says. I like it so far. Time goes by really fast! We’ll be entering peak season soon, so we’ll see how it goes 💆🏽♀️
yes it is approaching! And for sure, it def is not as bad as some other ppl say
@@NFZProductions it takes me about an hour to get to my job and about 1.5 to 2 hours to get home because of traffic on peak which hasn't come yet but I do have met this coming week I'm gonna have to go to bed nearly as soon as I get home I live FAR from my job just finished my first week.
I woke at sbd3 and I love it it’s such a easy job here managers are all cool too
That's uncommon to hear, managers and cool in the same sentence. But this is good!
After watching your videos I finally decided to quit my job as a CNA and start a new career. Thank you! One thing that I will always remember you said was “don’t work too hard” cos you don’t get incentives for doing it and they might think you good at it so you should just stay in your position.
Yep! That is a good thing to remember! I hope you like it here and do well! Maybe possibly move up the ladder too
NFZ Productions that is my plan do my best but not work hard and try to move up the ladder. I need career where I can grow. Thanks again 👍🏼
That’s me!!! I was working as a cna , but it was terrible I can’t wait to start working at Amazon to lose weight, I start in 12 day
I'm going to apply this week :D! Thanks for the help.
you are welcome!

What are your tips for a new stower?
Lockers are gone
Been working at amazon 5 days and each day I've walked over 26,000 steps a day.
wow that's crazy ! So many steps per day!!
When I started Amazon I was 155LB, Now I'm 147LB. 😭
I’m officially an amazon employee I start Sunday bro thank you for taking time out your day to help us god bless🙏
Just have some good shoes! The first two days I was sore lol but after you’ll get used to it!
@@theoneandonly4488 shiit Sayless brother🙏🤘🏽
@@hazeultragaming701 and in your first week dont over work they won’t care at what rate you’ll be but if you want to get noticed do you best
hey thanks man! good luck with your new job!! congrats!
@@NFZProductions thank you man 🙌
I’m from Miami, and i’ve been trying to apply to work at an amazon warehouse but it’s so complicated, there’s a huge amount of people trying to get the job too, plus me having no experience cause this would be literally my first job
you dont need experience for this job which is the best part! just try to find when there are spots available and apply!
I have been working for 2 weeks as "Santa Helper" (assistant supervisor). My legs and especially my feet hurt a lot from standing 9 hours in safety boots.
wow that sounds tough indeed!
I arrived in Texas on the 30th of last month. On the 2nd I applied online, had my interview on the 5th and I start my first day on the 24th....ALL thanks to this dude and his vids!! BTW I had smoked weed less than a week before I did my drug test.. and I passed 😀
haha nice that is risky but good you passed. and you are welcome! happy to hear you are starting soon!
Thanks for the 📹! I started working at amazon yesterday, its far one of the fun jobs I've worked for dust far.
you're welcome ! And that's good to hear. Some people love it, some hate it
🤷♂️
I started working in Amazon warehouse on 1st of October and I’m in packing department and working in Amazon specially in Germany is way more different than US...
it is?? that's cool to know
At the fulfillment center I work at the managers are sooo cool (I pack) they play music during the whole day all type of music, popular music and we can have head phones in and be on our phones and sit when we have down time!! BEST job I’ve ever had even if it is tiring
wth?!? Where is this Amazon heaven you speak of?
@@NFZProductions DFW7
I work at Fresh and our vending machines have box cutters, gloves, and full cold weather face mask. There's no limit on them, we just type in a code and go.
no limit? that's good. And I dont have those face masks you refer to. Probably since your building is naturally really cold
I lost weight (week 2) Bc I’m eating better too
More frequently & on a consistent basis
So each short break I’ll have fruit & water & lunch I’ll have small portion of food or pb&j that keeps me going all day
I need to pack extra fruit for end of shift Bc i leave out of there starving!! 😂😂
that is good!! Sounds healthy as well!
I started 2 weeks ago; starting my third week now, and it’s a great job (super easy)! Just got an email already about being from seasonal to a regular worker! At my delivery station, all ambassadors are super nice and aren’t that strict. My second half of my shift is probably the best part because of after pick and staging; getting a “mini break” before the actual last 20 min break 😂 and yes, I’ve lost 5 pounds in the span of 2 weeks I’ve been working at my station.
oh it is good to hear that it is easy for you! and losing weight seems to be common from everyone!
Im an AM at a SC. I lost 15lbs just from walking all day. Also, everything you mentioned is spot on!
Edit: except for the break room. Due to covid 19, break room amenities are mostly gone/inaccessible. We use to have ping pong tables, pool tables and an xbox at our facility but since spring, we've removed them for social distancing measures. Losing a lot of weight because I walk a lot (~10 miles/day as measured by my Garmin watch) and I honestly cannot get a full 30 min uninterrupted lunch break so all I can do is chow down a small sandwich before someone radios me or chimes me. Other than that everything is 100% accurate :P
oh okay! Thank you for this! And yes I am not surprised you lost 15 lbs. A lot of people also comment saying they lose weight here as well!
Hi, do Amazon gives some sort of incentives or gifts or joining gifts to the new comers
@@informativeandentertaining9539 for T1 AAs you should get a welcome kit with some pins, a water bottle and/or a coffee mug (porcelain) and a voucher for safety shoes.
great timing man, i'm going in for my first shift at amazon tonight!
that is great time! You got this man, try to memorize the layout of the building, so you dont get lost on day 2
@@NFZProductions , so I've worked 6 overnight and one mandatory OT shift, i'm working in outbound in singles. it really is a Great job. I enjoy the hours but my feet are KILLING me by about two hours before the end of shift!
@@DontAskHowIGotIt same issue for me too! It seems like your legs won't rly adapt to it overtime
I just completed my 1st day. I am at a sortation center. My feet are definitely killing me! I am super excited to see where this will go. I am part time seasonal. I hope before long I can get full time and become a regular employee.
Thank you for all of your videos. I really wish I had found them sooner!
no problem! Happy to help out! GOod luck to you
I’m working as a stower as well, for me it’s on average 5 miles per day right now.
Ah i see.. this makes sense
I work at an FC in Edmonton and yes we have those vending machines too, it’s pretty cool.
I agree they are pretty cool! I was surprised first time i saw them
Thank You For Calming Me Mentally. I Recently Got Hired @ Amazon For The Warehouse Position- So far So Good
This is me too. I do not think it is bad
@@NFZProductions Yayyyy, Congratulations. Glad You’re Enjoying It- High Hopes For My First Day 😊
I really like your vids and I get pumped when a new one comes out. I bought some of the shoes you recommended and they are killer!!!
Thanks man!! Happy you enjoy them! And that's good, they should help out a lot
Thank you so much for answering my questions, ☺️ yes I agree on the reasons and also the vendor machines have the products at very low cost, lower than Walmart 😱
Oh thats good! And you are welcome!
Been at Amazon for a month...I’m a stower as well. I watched your videos before starting my first day and it truly helped relieve some nerves. Thank you! So far it’s been good but I thought since peak season is coming around there would be OT. I was told by my manager there would be none in this facility (new facility in CA) since it’s at it’s full capacity. 🤷🏽♀️
dang that's interesting. My location offers some every now and then, But I expect there to be a lot offered in abt a month or so
what ca location is it
@@doglover136_ Bakersfield
@@reina_jar6534 ok, there’s one near my house in riverside, there’s a bunch of warehouses near me
Coool aasss appreciate the tips hermano starting at Amazon warehouse next week. Your videos are packed with value
your videos really helped me out, just started 3 days ago and I LOVE IT. my favorite is water spider!
that's good!! Happy to hear i have been able to help out! Water spider does look fun, never tried!
I work at IXD and we have the PPE vending machines throughout warehouse!
That's good! These vending machines are so good!
I have a galaxy watch active 2 and it tracks my steps. I pack and usually in a day, I'm around 12 to 15 thousand steps in a 10 hour shift which is a lot seeing as when you pack, the only time you actually walk somewhere is to get supplies for your station or going on break. But some days, if I'm water spidering or working on the slam line, I get up to 35000 steps in a shift. I run a lot on my off time, so to put it in perspective, today I ran 20 miles, which put me at around 35000 steps (including all the walking you do just around the house).
So yeah, more than likely, you'll get your daily 10000 steps that is recommended. I highly advise, you take advantage of the 110 credit they give you to get some decent shoes. They have a limited selection, but I'm certain they have something comfortable for everyone.
wow that's a lot of steps!! I knew this job has a lot of walking but damn!
Amazon is most certainly the biggest employer in my town at the moment. 4 weeks in now and I'm making more money than iv done in a long time. I see a great opportunity here.
me too! They are hiring so many ppl
Did you have to have a drug test?
@@bizzle3603 They do test, but iv not had one yet. Think it's suspended at the moment due to Covid.
Cool bro
About the vending machines we have a lot of vending machines . One machine has gloves, box cutters and vests. Another machine had bandaids, Advil,Tylenol, eye drops, and q tips,. Our last machine has shoe inserts. We don’t use our badges on these machines, we can get what we want, as much and whenever
oh wow dont have to scan badge? that's better I think, a lot faster too
I started 3 weeks ago and iv'e only worked for like 8 days. It's just so hard not to take VTO every time they offer it lol
Amazon likes America so much more lol. I work at a warehouse in Canada and we don’t get anything fun like you guys. No food/free swag. But that’s okay, the thing that bothers me is there’s not enough room in the break rooms and we aren’t allowed to stand inside so people need to take their breaks outside in the -10degrees. Not everyone drives!
And we aren’t allowed to use the lockers right now due to covid
Oh wow this does sound a lot different! And for me, the weather is never an issue because I live in Texas. But i see how that could be unfortunate if you live more north like Canada
the vending machines are at every amazon locations.
most Items are the same but some are different depending on what location you work at. (fulfillment center, sort center, delivery station, fresh, prime now and Whole Foods)
interesting, thank you!
awesome videos! I am picking up a 36-40 hour job at a warehouse as a second job in the coming week(s). three nights a week Th, Fr, Sat. And your videos are very informative.
thank you! And those are the same days i work!
@@NFZProductions Question...How does the first check you receive work here? Like do you get 2 weeks worth of checks at once since they hold a check?
At the sort center we have the vending machines 👏 awesome video man
oh nice that's good to hear! and thank you!
When i was a tote runner one day, i left my phone in my pocket with the GPS foot tracking app PACER turned on. I walked 18 miles in one 12 hr shift.
I'm a picker and I average 9 miles every 10 hour shift! getting paid to work out :)
wow thats a lot! and yes thats good at least!
@@NFZProductions Okay now I work the dock and average 13 miles lol. Crazy stuff
Do your work at an AR?
@@TheCalliElizabeth did you lose weight
most underrated youtuber i know
haha thanks bro!
My bro and to all you youngsters reading this. Another good part time job if they’re hiring would be in a more successful dental laboratory. A lot of labs will teach you basic such as model work. It won’t pay much at first but once you learn you can earn up to $16hr just doing model work. And the more you’re willing to learn the more advancement opportunities doing others jobs in the lab which will mean more money. Just a suggestion.
thats interesting. thanks for giving us this info!
I have to take my drug test again due to an error :( I am waiting for an available schedule for that. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
you're welcome!
What type of drug test do they give?
I love your videos man. Keep it up!!
thanks man, happy to help out!
The job is so tiring omgg
yeah it is, but risking the earbuds is worth it and helps a lot!
@@NFZProductions it does keeps me up at night ...
@@angelhdz1527 yep they're so good!
@@NFZProductions what else keeps u up bro? I mean i can be up i just be tired at my 230am break lol
I work at an Amazon sortation center and yes we have the vending machines but ours don't include caffeine or electrolytes but they do have gloves, harnesses and medications.
Our warehouse just got a raise
Im at psp1 and its super cool thanks for the heads up about water haha
you're welcome! I gottchu
I work at a delivery station in the UK and we do get PPE but that's not in a vending machines it's at a separate station (a mobile metal shelf) but the gloves and similar things are kept in 1 vending machine but those are reusable washable gloves etc. Don't really need loads of vending machines.
It's a nice touch to have water stations as well so we can keep hydrated. And Amazon management will tell you to drink water if you start to sweat which I do often.
This channel was one of the main reasons I joined Amazon
Oh that's good to hear! I am very happy that I was able to motivate you to join! and thanks for sharing how things are a bit different in the UK.
@@NFZProductions I was lucky I watched your videos on preparing to work for Amazon like get insoles for shoes, the points system and more and that has made the experience much better as they never tell you so it was great help. You should do a video on the tasks you do and what they are in detail so it gives people are better understanding on what things they could be doing at work
Suscribed! Thanks for putting out these videos. I’m kind of considering this as a potential way to bridge a career change from civil engineering to software development. Seems like right now working similar hours I can get payed the same anyway...
you are welcome! and yes I think it would be a good change up!
ITS PRIME WEEKKKKK🔥🔥🔥
Lets gooooooooo!!
Gotta be there at 6 am to 530 on sat. 11 hr shift
I work at Amazon and luv it.... tons of overtime
yep i love that! Easy $$
I'm a stower and walk on average 7 miles a day, 4x a week, 10hrs
I worked at a retail job before Amazon and didn't realize just how badly out of shape I was until I started working at Amazon I would say My overall well-being had increased. I'm not going to say that there wasn't days where I was sore there was. Just go to one of the Asian massage parlors in spend at least $30 on a good massage
shii i miss working at amazon it was so easy and fun 🤧 i got a new job at staples fulfillment center and i definitely have to work harder here but it is what it is
oh really?? What made you switch then?
@@NFZProductions i got fired remember 😂 i worked in the dock
Having friends and family working at Amazon it seems like you definitely want to work for contracting supporting services. They are paid way better and have a lot of more leeway instead of the pressures of being looked over for production and quantities being shipped. So being a building supporting or some kind of service tech my guys are making 30 plus dollars an hour and they have a lot of downtime and standing time Amazon doesn't know how much they're actually losing outsourcing instead of having it internally controlled.
The work is easy in my opinion as long you bend your legs, eat before your shift and wear comfortable clothes i dont know if im lucky but our fc is quality still cant work out how some people are picking 600+ uph during competitions though
wow 600+?? that is tough competition! And for sure, what you mentioned will all help out a lot!
It’s all luck lol at times some people will pick 8 items at once and have no pod issues for an hour straight lol
@@theoneandonly4488 the moment any competitions start, the pods start slowing down or they'll be a conveyor issue
Here in jacksonville florida. I work at the delivery station. Most people here swing positions and do everything. Which is nice so that its equal for everyone. The social distancing people yelling get a bit annoying when we start picking so i learned to just take my time and get in where i fit in so we dont get write ups
yeah I hate that people yell the 6 ft thing. Idk how that is a job inside the building, just to say that
Wow I guess my FC is more chill. They don’t actually yell when you’re not social distancing, but they kindly tell you to spread out if you’re too close.
Well i shouldnt say "yelling" but there is one guy who just takes it too far. These people were training and in a group so its hard to hear in there. Guy goes "6 feet!" The people spread out then guy goes "make it 7 just in case" like come on man.
Although I don't work for Amazon, I do work for a FC in the apparel industry, and I walk an average of 7-10 miles a shift (6:30-4:00) and I went from 240 in November of 2020 to 205 as of October 2021.
Hey bro I don’t know if your aware but Amazon will give u 110 credit towards safety work shoe thru Zappos , I just found this out the other day easy to sign up and if you can’t do for some reason or another on the website all you have to do is call there number . Just thought I put that out there for you and your subscribers . They have a ton of options and some good looking shoes . Keep the videos coming good content your putting out 👍
yes I have heard of this as well! Thank you for sharing bro
I have those vending machines at my Warehouse in Lewisville TX. We don’t have a limit on the items.
no limit?? that's good dang
You could do your whole grocery shopping 😂
We have the same vending machine at our fc our building just opened 2 months ago
Oh nice! That's cool
But I’m happy to watch your videos !!! You help me prep fr the job !! woohoooo❤️🥳🥳
That's good!! I am happy to help!
I think I'll apply. I worked in grocery retail for seven years and with that, have minor warehouse experience.
its not too hard to learn, I think you would for sure be fine
i work at a FC in Maryland and they do have those "vending" machines for gloves and stuff, i've been working there for 6 months and honestly is not that bad it is a job and they pay is great, you don't need to talk to anyone once you know what to do, I sort so i walk about 7 miles in my 10 hour shift :)
wow thats a lot! and howdy from texas :)
I just started working at Amazon in Raleigh Nc i just just finished my first week i work in inbound 3 shift it’s not that bad just long hours and a lot of standing my job is to open the boxes and put them in yellow containers and just do that for 10 hours my mangers are really chill they let us listen to music but it’s only my first week but i would say apply to amazon if you can handle the physical labor
that's lucky your manager is really chill. And yes apply if only able to do the labor
Do you follow 2m distance? It's like money heist scene where Nairobi shouted like 2m distance guys....ahhhh bossy
yeah we have to here or the ppl yelling at us will yell louder
hahaha Nairobi :D i love Money Heist
I put my headphones on and act like I can’t hear them 😛
