I started working at An Amazon warehouse as an FC associate about 2 months ago. Let me tell you, do not try to be fast and overwork yourself because the supervisors are just going to give you more work to do. They are going to notice that you are finishing your assigned task fast and they are going to give you another task even before you finish your first. Just remember that you are getting paid by the hour and everyone else is getting paid the same.
You’re right ive been their three weeks and I hauled ass and they wanted to move me around everywhere else just cause my rate was high as soon as I slowed down they stopped bothering so I always take my sweet time now
You’re the first person who has even said you enjoy your job , then I hear you say you recommend it! MINDSET IS EVERYTHING! I appreciate you girl! Tysm for being so grAteful!! The worst thing about starting my business while homeless in covid listening to the people Leith jobs complain about them!!! Thanks girl! gods gonna keeps blessing you BIG! You’re worth it
@@PAPATexas she’s smart! And grateful! And kind and patient! And willing to learn so she can better! That’s the best kind of person & employee! I want people just like her to work for me!
The way I look at it is, there are tons of jobs in the world & only you make the decision to work there or not so don’t work somewhere you hate & make the best of it. My previous job, I made 3 times more than what Amazon pays and the company treated us worse! When I came to Amazon and got paid less, I was very shocked that majority of the employees loved working there.
When I hear the negativity working at Amazon I’m thinking these people expect more or a lot out the job and don’t want to work for that extra money or advancement and when they don’t get what they want they start to bad mouth the company or demand extra or more stuff.
@@withnnicole2149 The previous company paid you 3 times more and you left? That is almost 50 dollars an hour. I would of never left even if they treated me wrong, lol. But I have noticed that the people you work with is what makes the work environment great or bad.
@@monicaaraceli9173 it’s not bad. The worst thing is standing there for so long and, depending on the kind of person you are, it can drive you crazy doing the same things over and over and over again.
@@Itstwistedroots I’m a stower and been working at Amazon for 2 months. Honestly feel like quitting, 10 hrs doing the same thing over n over n over while standing, barely can lean or sit or my TOT time gon go right back up, ima prob transfer to being a waterspider or become a delivery driver
@@Itstwistedroots and don’t even get me started on the long walks to the break room especially if u on the opposite side of the building on the 4th or 3rd floor🤦🏾♂️my break is 30 mins buh in reality it’s rlly 15 mins cuz of the long walk.
this looks so laid back and chill as'f. I work at home depot as an order fulfiller and every day I get annoyed with dealing customers that are just rude or annoying as i'm pulling orders there but this? I would not mind doing stowing AT ALL. very quiet and relaxing lol
I don’t understand why they closed the lockers but then have everyone cubby holes to put their stuff. The only difference is the locking door. Doesn’t make sense to me.
@@Hank_Chill ya I get that but I’m sure i was just assuming it was based on being close to others because of covid. Cleaning… yes it would be easier because no doors but that would be the only explanation I could understand.
I hear working at Amazon's warehouse isn't that great. But that breakroom looks legit af. At my workplace, the "break area" is a dusty parking basement.
@@du24pont70 It's not the size that impresses me. It's the access to snacks and drinks, also the cleanliness. Like I said, my break area is a dirty parking basement.
It’s definitely not great, training is 1 day and then they trust you with an 8 ton cherry picker and expect you to go 40ft in the air in a machine that sways side to side then dig through a bin with random items and lift it into a metal cage attached to your forks on the back of the picker.
This video was awesome I'm so sick of all the negative videos towards Amazon job its a job and thats the most stuff Ive seen offered to employees since.I start on September 5th Thanks Great video!!!
@@recklezz404 yeah its not bad it's very repetitive if you're working inbound or outbound either way it's the same thing over and over for 10 hours straight you get two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute break,also they're very flexible with time if you have it you can leave whenever you want as long as you don't go into the negative and they're very easy about moving up it's not hard after 30 days also my leadership is very flexible with scheduling
After working at Amazon, I was super glad that I had left. The supervisors were on a complete power trip and the security was even worse. People didn't care about anything. Your stuff is never safe unless you have it in a locker and that includes your winter coat. You get written up for stupid shit like not meeting a quota. They over work you for a shit pay. I am shocked that you were able to get your cell phone past security. To my understanding, that is against Amazon policy. How I know is because I accidentally did that and security was all over my ass. We almost got into a fight, the only thing that stopped us was the supervisor who was standing next to me had seen and heard what was happening. After leaving that company, employees made such a complaint about what was going on. That it actually made the news. As far as their SAFETY goes, their own so called "safety team" was a complete joke. People were hitting each other when driving the machines and speeding. We found out that a yard person working outside was even killed because of poor safety. Another employee was sent to the hospital after being struck by a "reacher" machine which is a larger type of fork lift. Do yourself a favor, think twice before applying and if you do work there. Quit while you still can walk out on your own. Otherwise, watch your ass.
Wow, sounds like you had a horrible experience. I worked at 3 different Amazon warehouses and they all allowed us to bring our phones in. Maybe it's something they allow in Illinois. Also, in the beginning of the video, I showed that the lockers are closed so there isn't a place to put our phones even if we had to.
I was a stower at Amazon last year and made the dumb decision to quit, I just got all my paperwork to work there again this year.. I really do love being a stower and I love how easy going working at Amazon is. I made almost 20 dollars a hour, $18.50 . I can’t wait to start working there again ❤️ also it’s CRAZY to see how empty your warehouse is, the one I worked at last year was buzzing with people and they used to play music out loud to keep us alert through the night shift, people really aren’t working anymore.
Did you start back yet? I have interview and drug screen sunday. I'm nervous bcus I'm in my 40's .. I'm not scared of hardwork I just hate schey feet! That makes the job hard. Any advice to save my feet lol
For anyone wondering what it’s like to work at an Amazon warehouse. If you’ve done any sort of warehouse job before, it’ll be by far one of the easiest jobs you have, the work can be long and sometimes a little bit heavy but it’s genuinely so simple. For anyone that hasn’t had any warehouse experience, it’s an easy job and it takes little time to get used to it. But you will be on ur feet all day so buy some comfy shoes and a good insole, remember to take water with you!
So 'Stower' = 'Stocker' like at a grocery store? Take it from the receiving dock and put it on the right shelf? Seems pretty straightforward once you learn the process. I saw an old vid about the 'pickers' or whatever they call them running around like maniacs trying to fill order with books, shampoo, a bad of potato chips and a dog toy. It looked miserable.
@inglesinamafiorentina That's interesting. I figured like most companies, Amazon changed how things are done over the years to be more efficient but also make it a decent place to work. They got a bit of bad press last year.
Stowers in the delivery stations have to put the boxes and envelopes in the correct bags and oversized locations. The goal at my station is 300 packages per hour. It is one of the busiest jobs in the delivery station.
@Samara Hamilton Having a degree is not about being cocky, it's about having a choice. You think I don't deal with bullshit at work, we all do. There is nothing wrong with working at Amazon or any other place as long as it is legal work. And you said it yourself; you *choose* to work there.
@@juniordude8341 Everybody answers to somebody in business. Your "boss" changes with every client and my "boss" is the same everyday. BTW I'm employed by a company but I work for myself.
My son has been working for Amazon it will be 4 years tomorrow. He works at an ORD facility making books as they are ordered. He knows I think it's 6 different jobs there. It's a great job for him and secure. He works 12 hour days as well on the night shift. So 3 1/2 days working 3 1/2 days off. Pretty good gig.
I used to work for Amazon making books also technically it's 10 hours a day but there is a certain time of the year for its 12 well 11 and 1/2 hours not including lunchtime of a half-hour
3rd shift is usually the best if you're looking for a more laid-back experience. When I worked for a distillery I was literally the only person on their entire 800 acre site. I had all kinds of weird shit happen out there, like flooded buildings, tornadoes, crazy people, etc. I also "borrowed" the company vehicles and taught myself how to drive stick-shift in a truck and how to run a forklift. I once had a kid drag himself like a quarter of a mile up to the building I was in. He'd broken both his legs wrecking his 4-wheeler.
they’ll train u, ima stower but I work with the robots and scan items and put them into the yellow pods. What we stower that work with the robots in the cage is that we scan the red label first and if the computer tells us to “open the package, scan and stow each item separately” means it’s rob 6 or 12 or 24 items in there, we’ll take it out and scan it and put it in the correct pod size that it fits. like I said they’ll train u, it’s complicated explaining it, but it’s easy after the first week
They will give you a week of training and teach you for sure. Also, if you scan the wrong bar code, your scanner will male a different noise & say error.
There's still snow where u live in August? Thats crazy lol. I used to work in Amazon warehouse in Florida I can't imagine working there now with a mask on with how hot it is in there especially with the Florida heat but I did love working there.
Im all about efficient work spaces but not allowing you to listen to music is rough. Plus i work in a school and i ride an ebike everywhere. It saves me time and i would think Amazon would be all about progress and getting their people around faster.
Since it’s a warehouse work area they do it for safety. It sucks but if somethings happens, like merchandise falling from the shelves for example, or a rogue forklift, the employee has time to get away from danger bc their ears are free to listen to their surroundings.
@@Sjrick I get it, it sucks but she’s not alone. That’s a massive warehouse that’s operating 24/7. There is people working with her. Just not all up in her face. Definitely not as busy as day shift. You hear all the noises in the background? The beeping and screeching? Those are forklifts backing up and moving around. She made sure not to film others while working. Smart girl
I work at a sort center (distribution center ) we are the next stage after FC. The only thing about working at an FC that would bug me is the quiet. At our warehouse music is cranked all night !! That helps
Didn't talk about popular topics on why people HATE working at Amazon warehouse, not sure if this is because your distribution center is new and they haven't reached full employment capacity yet or not but here is some food for thought: #1 You have to make "rate", your "rate" is how fast you work, if you meet your "rate" it is slowly increased over time, if you keep failing to make rate you are released from your position. #2 Upward movement within the company is almost impossible, even Jeff Bezos on the record has said 2-3 years is the max he wants warehouse workings working because they lose their "drive" and become too complacent so they manufacture reasons for terminating employment of employees around the 3 year mark. #3 Your break(s) start when you stop working, not when you reach your break room...some of these warehouses are 2+ city blocks long and getting from one spot to another can take 5+ minutes. 15min break? Well, there goes 10min, enjoy your 5min of sitting down time, not to be on your feet for another 4+ hours...enjoy!.
Oh man, this looks so much more organized than the spencers tv and appliance I work at. Our system of stowing is a joke. But the pay is $18, I can play my music, and it's also 13-14 for 3 days. Then 4 days off...really nice actually.
I wish they had an Amazon warehouse here in Western Nebraska. It would bring so many jobs, and guaranteed they would have loyal employees here who would stay on until retirement. I know I would!
This would be a perfect job for me. I love night shifts, like to keep to myself, and I hate music while working. The only downfall is wearing a stupid mask for 12 hours👎 Thanks for posting. I will look into working there. Hopefully the mask thing can go soon.
As soon as enough people get vaccinated then the masks go away. If people refuse to get vaccinated, then the virus sticks around longer and we have to wear the "stupid masks."
@@Jomskylark Masks don't even prevent covid from spreading, even someone who's had all the doses of the vaccine can still transmit the virus. 90% of people aren't even wearing n95 masks so they really aren't doing much.
@@Jomskylark the vaccine doesnt stop the spread of covid. And even businesses are still requiring vaccinated people to wear masks so to say the masks will go away with the vaccine is bs
These people just regurgitate what the media says. If you actually do research the COVID “Vaccine” doesn’t provide immunity. It just prevents severe symptoms. So why force these “vaccine” on people who doesn’t want to get it, if it really doesn’t help eradicate this virus? Plus this virus will be here for YEARS. Don’t expect it to go away like a fever. Viruses are hard to eradicate completely. Look at The Spanish Influenza it was discovered in 1918. Guess what it’s still lingering to this very day. This Covid Virus will just replicate itself to create multiple variants. No “vaccine” can stop that. Only TIME and our own built in Human Immunity can slow this virus and weaken it.
For my warehouse it’s 120 units per hour in the on foot area and then for the OP areas it’s 80 for the smaller stuff and 55 for the bigger stuff. Also on top of rate per hour there is also your DPMO which tracks all the mistakes you made. You can’t put too much weight into a bin. You can’t put similar items together in the same bin or in adjacent bins. And you can’t scan bins before the item which believe it or not a lot of people do that by accident all the time. There are more “mistakes” that they watch out for but they are more complex and most of the time out of your control because the mistake happened at the station before you.
@@withnnicole2149 whats your business? Was just curious. Its a great idea that you're doing a side hustle. Good luck to you and I wish you blessed success,!
Let me put something into perspective. Fire fighters here make about 13.50 an our. At Amazon I made 15 dollars an hour and with blue badge I made 24.50 on holidays "don't have to work to get paid" as much as my mom makes as a full time homecare nurse after going to school for 6 years. Yeah it's alot
I started last week picking. I like the job but my herniated disks cant take all the walking. Had to leave early a couple days. Maybe this week will be better
Sorry to hear that! If you have a doctor's note, they can place you in a diffrent department. If they try to fire you, I would definitely report it. Good luck
It a great way to build confidence with the public showing what they’re doing for COVID to keep employees safe and the public as well. Answered a bunch of my questions. 😎
I dont work at amazon but I just got hired at warehouse doing something similar to this, what I do is putaway and picking so I'll assign items to their aisles when doing putaway then ill be picking items when doing picking, so ill be hopping around which is nice but its all the same area so ill learn it fast. I think ill have a very positive mindset like you had, especially since my homie is one of my managers 🔥
Be careful who you tell that you're recording inside their facility if you didnt get their consent. You could be violating a non disclosure agreement and could terminated and worst case sued for intellectual theft.
I had my day 1 yesterday so orientation and walk through. I’m sorter sooooo I’m just a little nervous. I know it’ll be easy but I feel like ima mess up lol
If there was a NEW marketplace like amazon but treated it workers much better but didn't have all the perks of what amazon YET, would you buy from this NEW company and support it to grow?
They are building 2 of them near me in Chicago south suburbs. If I was young I might try it. I’m almost 64 and physically disabled. I could maybe stand for one hour on a good day. So no thanks. Good luck to you at your job there.
I live in Illinois so I’m familiar with the 2 you’re referring to. I’ve seen some older disabled people working there. They had a guy in a wheelchair just sitting at the front desk to tell employees to please pull up their mask. I’ve seen others with disabilities also & they are good about finding you a job.
My aunt who was in her sixties worked there she had recently had ankle surgery so she couldn't keep it and she went on to be a caregiver but she said that if physically she could have done the Amazon instead she would have because she likes it way better than caring for elderly
How much are your earnings? I couldn't find much info about the payment. Also is anyone from another country? How is it with the accomodations,etc?some details would be very helpful.Thanks!
Just hope you don't get fired for making a video. There has been some news recently of people getting fired for making tiktok videos during work time (usually videos that are offensive but you never know)
I posted this video so no I didn’t get fired. I made another video explaining y I quit. When I was working there, I didn’t use my phone besides emergencies but I wanted to make this video because I thought it would be helpful
This gotta be the nicest and cleanest warehouse I’ve ever seen, I would low key feel uncomfortable in there it’s kind of too professional haha compared to what I’m used too. Never worked in a warehouse that doesn’t let you listen to music or have the speaker blasting
My worst job at Amazon was answering phones, seriously. Even though it was sit-down, the stress was like OMG, and it was only during certain hours of day, the busiest, when everyone be calling in, and I would be the only one on phones, and a lot of the calls would be difficult. 😢. Then I transferred and am now working at a warehouse and it's easy! I was like this is great change! But I cant work it 40 hours a week, I'm too old, but yeah this job great part-time gig, or for 18 to late twenty somethings. After 30 you're really risking injury if you push yourself to meet goals at a warehouse.
"12 hours straight every day." Did I hear that right?! Is it really 12 hours a day? Jesus christ, that's a lot of hours. Update: Holy shit! You guys were not kidding! Apparently there's this thing called "Mandatory Extra Time" (MET) where Amazon Associates HAVE to work 60 hours a week during Peak Season (Thanksgiving, Christmas time, and New Years) for the entire freakin month of Decemeber! Literal, modern day slavery iyam.
Loved your video. Great details. No one else ever talks about the breakroom...food...drinks..etc. Great job of explaining. I subscribed. Tell us more more more. 👍👌☺
I start my third day tomorrow my job is t bad (inventory QA) but there’s a shortage of pit machines and scanners so everyone gets really territorial and hides their scanners it’s causing me so much anxiety.
Well, you still get paid if you're there. I'm sure management is aware that there aren't enough scanners for everyone. Also, as much money as Amazon has, they can afford more scanners.
Great job with the video!! Answered questions I had about what Amazon has been doing for COVID. Seems like working for Amazon is pretty safe and they take care of the employees. 😎😎
Excuse me I have a question: So what happens to a product or an item when someone gets hurt of injured. Do they Recall the item or do they not care and send the item anyway so like when someone gets it there like: why the hell is there a finger in here and why is it covered in blood.
I just quit for a 2nd time. I stowed at a delivery station. Easy work & I liked it, but my body couldn't do it. Then Picking for routes is a whole beast by itself!!
I applied in ATL for a job in 2019 and they never got back to me.... I guess I will try again.... but since I get 40% VA disability none have been wanting to hire me so still may not get any response... LOL
Yes, you're allowed to take your phones, bags and coats in, they provide lockers to put it in but due to covid, the lockers are closed. So they allow you to take it in the warehouse with you.
Cellphones were forbidden at the Amazon facility that I worked at. We went through metal detectors so I’m always amazed that everyone gets this type of footage. I hated my job at Amazon. It was tiring and draining.
lol how old are the kid working there..if you are an adult there no reason for other adult to decide if you can have a phone or not on you when working
Since COVID, they now allow cell phones because they said it could be a family emergency & they want you to be notified. In my opinion, a family emergency can happen anytime, COVID or not
i have o clue how you feel about stuff like that in the us but if my boss did tell me not to have a phone or lisen to music at my work places i quit right on the spot. i just had a part time job where they did pay me about the 15 18 dollar pr hours when they call me and ask if i want the job i say yer a week after they ask me for a updatet cvi told them no whit that salary you just be happy if i even show up 5 weeks later i did quit. stop selling yourself to low
@@fu-ckyoutube551 There's a lot of places the ban the use of phones during work hours. There's a big problem of people getting on social media, making non critical phone calls calls and generally wasting time when they are paid to be working. Not only is it a waste of time but while people are doing that they are not at all focused on their job and quality and productivity drop off significantly. There is also the concern of people walking around with their eyes glued to their phone, not looking out for mobile equipment which could run over them. These things might not seem like an issue to you but from an employers perspective they are issues which need to be dealt with. I'm sure any employer who hears the words "I quit" when they tell a person no phones would be more than happy to accept your resignation, they will almost certainly put a note in your HR file that says do not re-employ.
Does Amazon allow you to bring your phones into the warehouse now because when I work for Amazon we were not allowed to bring our cell phones into the warehouse
@@iltp3070 I hated that shit folk😭it was worse if you was a picker because you sometimes wouldn’t see people for a few hours during your shift because the picking area was so big and you was constantly moving so once you did run into someone you would want to talk to them bad🤣
After 30 days of employment, you can request a transfer to another position or location, it's all done on the Amazon A to Z app.... Also, every 6 months you get a .30 raise (I'll do a video on that later). Just make sure that the position you're switching to is a pay raise. Also, you can speak to management if you are interested in a manager position.
I’ve been trying to find out if the first day is 10 hours but no one has that answer. I’m flex so I can choose what shifts I work but the first day not sure how many hours it is.
The 1st day is typically at least 6-8 hours depending how quick they can finish with anyone. If there are a lot of people starting the same day, it could be longer.
I work at Amazon two years now.. I don't mind it! the benefits make it even better.. I have done, pick , stow and now pack singles ..It's not bad at all..
First off, how did you sneak a video camera onto the floor of Amazon???? It's against Amazon rules to bring personal electronics onto the work floor. You can be fired for that and you showed your face. I used to work as a PA and I know the rules of Amazon. I used to do the tours/training of new hires and I always cover the info of not bringing personal electronics on the floor. I left Amazon years ago for a better job opportunity (more money). I worked in every job task in Amazon...except customer service & forklift driver but I'm surprised you got away with this...if you're still working there. If you are still working there...I would delete this video but it's up to you. 2nd, I believe Amazon is a nice job for younger adults. They will work you nonstop but you will acquire a lot of work skills...which equal to advance job opportunities. Also, nonstop overtime. I learned/worked the entire warehouse in less than 19 months, in my 40's. Yes, picker & stower are the easiest positions in Amazon but a lot of walking. I did my cardio in Amazon but I did my weight training in the gym. I was 24/7 fit year-round and beach body ready. Also, invest in comfortable shoes because you will be on your feet for 12 hours. Don't come there in heels like one female I trained years back...YOU WILL BE SORRY. I hope the info I provided can help someone. I trained a lot of people back in the day and some of them advanced to higher positions. A lot of them, fresh out of high school. Just remember, you're there to work and stay on task.
You're exactly right. I'd highly suggest deleting this video as well. My thing too is, you have to put everything in that bucket to go thru security... and guaranteed that sensor would've gone off if you tried to walk thru with a phone in your pocket. I saw a few people asked to hand in their badges for that. I was written up for accidentally bringing in my BT earbuds and my charge cable (2 separate instances).
@@BeKozTube being a former FC employee myself, that's blatantly obvious. Here's why. NO FC is EVER that dead.. ever. Notice there were zero security guards when she was walking thru the metal detector and also it didn't go off WHILE SHE WAS RECORDING. I know personally that those detectors go ballistic if you so much as have a paperclip in your pocket.. let alone a $1200 phone. As far as the production floor itself, you can't have ANY devices on the floor... period, unless you're in some form of management or admin role and even that is limited to company supplied devices.
so many people say they hate the job I'm sorry but be grateful you've got work some people have struggled to find a new job because of covid or even before.
I never worked on lifts but I had to train on them. The 1st floor stowers and pickers have to use the lifts, they typically rotate people. I think it's kind of fun but yes, sometimes scary.
I LIKE MY JOB AT AMAZON TOO. I WORK IN STOW AS WELL. I WORK SUNDAY THRU WEDNESDAY (6PM-430AM) WITH A THREE DAY WEEKEND. ARE YOU GOING TO TRY ANOTHER DEPT. WHEN YOU'RE 30 DAYS ARE UP?
Stay home if you're STILL paranoid after getting the vaccine. If you're out it public or showing up to work unvaccinated, Sorry for ya. If you're vaccinated and still ok with wearing a muzzle, you're a clown.
I started working at An Amazon warehouse as an FC associate about 2 months ago. Let me tell you, do not try to be fast and overwork yourself because the supervisors are just going to give you more work to do.

are you referring to one for ones and back stocking 😡😡 hated it
Glad I could help!
Why did you hate it? ITs easy af. Its targets stupid rules that piss me off. Their strict on everything@@sergiocervantes1662
This job, looks super laid back. It would be awesome, if they allowed you to at least have ONE earpiece in (earbud); for music.
You can. At my spot in Oregon you can have anything , food , music , laptop. Headphones Security is like TSA tho
@@rypdx what in the luckiest Amazon warehouse is this? Bro you are truly blessed with that place, lol
I know a lot of Amazon's aren't this way. I worked at a different location before and it was so busy but cool
Lol I know!!! It sucks, I guess it will give you time to think.
Laid back what about the constant search’s drug tests and constantly getting told to speed up don’t do this don’t do that
I don’t understand why they closed the lockers but then have everyone cubby holes to put their stuff. The only difference is the locking door. Doesn’t make sense to me.
Way easier to clean.
@@Hank_Chill ya I get that but I’m sure i was just assuming it was based on being close to others because of covid. Cleaning… yes it would be easier because no doors but that would be the only explanation I could understand.
I think it's because of cleaning..It's easier
I hear working at Amazon's warehouse isn't that great. But that breakroom looks legit af. At my workplace, the "break area" is a dusty parking basement.
Amazon employs a ton of people. Those large breakrooms are needed.
@@du24pont70 It's not the size that impresses me. It's the access to snacks and drinks, also the cleanliness. Like I said, my break area is a dirty parking basement.
It’s definitely not great, training is 1 day and then they trust you with an 8 ton cherry picker and expect you to go 40ft in the air in a machine that sways side to side then dig through a bin with random items and lift it into a metal cage attached to your forks on the back of the picker.

U like it?
@@recklezz404 yeah its not bad it's very repetitive if you're working inbound or outbound either way it's the same thing over and over for 10 hours straight you get two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute break,also they're very flexible with time if you have it you can leave whenever you want as long as you don't go into the negative and they're very easy about moving up it's not hard after 30 days also my leadership is very flexible with scheduling
Thank you
After working at Amazon, I was super glad that I had left. The supervisors were on a complete power trip and the security was even worse. People didn't care about anything. Your stuff is never safe unless you have it in a locker and that includes your winter coat. You get written up for stupid shit like not meeting a quota. They over work you for a shit pay. I am shocked that you were able to get your cell phone past security. To my understanding, that is against Amazon policy. How I know is because I accidentally did that and security was all over my ass. We almost got into a fight, the only thing that stopped us was the supervisor who was standing next to me had seen and heard what was happening. After leaving that company, employees made such a complaint about what was going on. That it actually made the news. As far as their SAFETY goes, their own so called "safety team" was a complete joke. People were hitting each other when driving the machines and speeding. We found out that a yard person working outside was even killed because of poor safety. Another employee was sent to the hospital after being struck by a "reacher" machine which is a larger type of fork lift. Do yourself a favor, think twice before applying and if you do work there. Quit while you still can walk out on your own. Otherwise, watch your ass.
Wow, sounds like you had a horrible experience. I worked at 3 different Amazon warehouses and they all allowed us to bring our phones in. Maybe it's something they allow in Illinois. Also, in the beginning of the video, I showed that the lockers are closed so there isn't a place to put our phones even if we had to.
No handicap person deserves that kind of treatment that guy should of been fired and arrested
I was a stower at Amazon last year and made the dumb decision to quit, I just got all my paperwork to work there again this year.. I really do love being a stower and I love how easy going working at Amazon is. I made almost 20 dollars a hour, $18.50 . I can’t wait to start working there again ❤️ also it’s CRAZY to see how empty your warehouse is, the one I worked at last year was buzzing with people and they used to play music out loud to keep us alert through the night shift, people really aren’t working anymore.
Did you start back yet? I have interview and drug screen sunday. I'm nervous bcus I'm in my 40's .. I'm not scared of hardwork I just hate schey feet! That makes the job hard. Any advice to save my feet lol
That warehouse is new which is why it's not as busy. It's busier during day shift. Let me know how it goes for you.
How did it go for you?
How do i apply to amazon
@@Saklyfe how did it go for you ?
For anyone wondering what it’s like to work at an Amazon warehouse. If you’ve done any sort of warehouse job before, it’ll be by far one of the easiest jobs you have, the work can be long and sometimes a little bit heavy but it’s genuinely so simple. For anyone that hasn’t had any warehouse experience, it’s an easy job and it takes little time to get used to it. But you will be on ur feet all day so buy some comfy shoes and a good insole, remember to take water with you!
I have orientation monday I thought it would be crazy like everyone says but this looks super easy
What's the name of this POSITION
@@meme852369 you still there?
It's a Stower
Agreed!
I think its awesome. always wanted to see how our products are stored.
I know, it was interesting when I was given a tour…I was thinking, ohhhh this is how it works lol
So 'Stower' = 'Stocker' like at a grocery store? Take it from the receiving dock and put it on the right shelf? Seems pretty straightforward once you learn the process. I saw an old vid about the 'pickers' or whatever they call them running around like maniacs trying to fill order with books, shampoo, a bad of potato chips and a dog toy. It looked miserable.
@inglesinamafiorentina That's interesting. I figured like most companies, Amazon changed how things are done over the years to be more efficient but also make it a decent place to work. They got a bit of bad press last year.
Everyplace is different
Stowers in the delivery stations have to put the boxes and envelopes in the correct bags and oversized locations. The goal at my station is 300 packages per hour. It is one of the busiest jobs in the delivery station.
In my personal Experience, The people who HATE working at Amazon, Generally hate Physical or Intensive labor all together... Yes i said what i said...
You're right. That's why I took my ass to college so I would not have to deal with that bullshit!!!
Or they hate doing the same mindless, repetitive tasks like a robot for 12 hours straight
@Samara Hamilton Having a degree is not about being cocky, it's about having a choice. You think I don't deal with bullshit at work, we all do. There is nothing wrong with working at Amazon or any other place as long as it is legal work. And you said it yourself; you *choose* to work there.
@@juniordude8341 Everybody answers to somebody in business. Your "boss" changes with every client and my "boss" is the same everyday. BTW I'm employed by a company but I work for myself.
@junior what’s good trade for woman ? School not for me either
I'm shocked they allowed you to capture footage!!! I worked for Amazon back when it was just books, CD's, and DVD's. It's a different world now.
Due to covid & the lockers being shut off, they allow it.
What year was that? lol.
My son has been working for Amazon it will be 4 years tomorrow. He works at an ORD facility making books as they are ordered. He knows I think it's 6 different jobs there. It's a great job for him and secure. He works 12 hour days as well on the night shift. So 3 1/2 days working 3 1/2 days off. Pretty good gig.
Awesome
I used to work for Amazon making books also technically it's 10 hours a day but there is a certain time of the year for its 12 well 11 and 1/2 hours not including lunchtime of a half-hour
@@dwightbain8328 his shift is always 12 hours and his half day is 5 1/2 hours.
What job position is this I might apply
@@omegadre5276 it is an ord facility they make on demand books
3rd shift is usually the best if you're looking for a more laid-back experience. When I worked for a distillery I was literally the only person on their entire 800 acre site. I had all kinds of weird shit happen out there, like flooded buildings, tornadoes, crazy people, etc. I also "borrowed" the company vehicles and taught myself how to drive stick-shift in a truck and how to run a forklift. I once had a kid drag himself like a quarter of a mile up to the building I was in. He'd broken both his legs wrecking his 4-wheeler.
OMG sounds interesting lol
Sometimes there's multiple barcodes on a product/item. How do you know which specific barcode to scan? (Example: 5:01)
it’s gonna have like a Z00 or something else idk they tell you tho, it also shows you the barcode on the screen when you’re looking for it
they’ll train u, ima stower but I work with the robots and scan items and put them into the yellow pods. What we stower that work with the robots in the cage is that we scan the red label first and if the computer tells us to “open the package, scan and stow each item separately” means it’s rob 6 or 12 or 24 items in there, we’ll take it out and scan it and put it in the correct pod size that it fits. like I said they’ll train u, it’s complicated explaining it, but it’s easy after the first week
They will give you a week of training and teach you for sure. Also, if you scan the wrong bar code, your scanner will male a different noise & say error.
There's still snow where u live in August? Thats crazy lol. I used to work in Amazon warehouse in Florida I can't imagine working there now with a mask on with how hot it is in there especially with the Florida heat but I did love working there.
I posted this late. This was in January lol
This looks like the one in Wisconsin. Kenosha, sturtevant, or oak creek...
I start the night shift on Saturday. Thanks for the informative video!
I'm glad I can help! Let me know how it went.
Very interesting and informative. Keep up the good work and you will go far.
Thanks Bill!
Im all about efficient work spaces but not allowing you to listen to music is rough. Plus i work in a school and i ride an ebike everywhere. It saves me time and i would think Amazon would be all about progress and getting their people around faster.
Since it’s a warehouse work area they do it for safety. It sucks but if somethings happens, like merchandise falling from the shelves for example, or a rogue forklift, the employee has time to get away from danger bc their ears are free to listen to their surroundings.
@@Iris-zq5mq I get all that but take a look around. Nobody is there and she’s alone. They should make an exception
@@Sjrick I get it, it sucks but she’s not alone. That’s a massive warehouse that’s operating 24/7. There is people working with her. Just not all up in her face. Definitely not as busy as day shift. You hear all the noises in the background? The beeping and screeching? Those are forklifts backing up and moving around. She made sure not to film others while working. Smart girl
@@Iris-zq5mq I’m just saying some type of distraction would go a long way.
@@Iris-zq5mq they already make them wear ear plugs so they won’t hear anything dangerous anyway😂😂might as well listen to music
I work at a sort center (distribution center ) we are the next stage after FC. The only thing about working at an FC that would bug me is the quiet. At our warehouse music is cranked all night !! That helps
Nice!
Didn't talk about popular topics on why people HATE working at Amazon warehouse, not sure if this is because your distribution center is new and they haven't reached full employment capacity yet or not but here is some food for thought: #1 You have to make "rate", your "rate" is how fast you work, if you meet your "rate" it is slowly increased over time, if you keep failing to make rate you are released from your position. #2 Upward movement within the company is almost impossible, even Jeff Bezos on the record has said 2-3 years is the max he wants warehouse workings working because they lose their "drive" and become too complacent so they manufacture reasons for terminating employment of employees around the 3 year mark. #3 Your break(s) start when you stop working, not when you reach your break room...some of these warehouses are 2+ city blocks long and getting from one spot to another can take 5+ minutes. 15min break? Well, there goes 10min, enjoy your 5min of sitting down time, not to be on your feet for another 4+ hours...enjoy!.
Everyone has their own experiences....I look at it as a JOB & not a CAREER
Oh man, this looks so much more organized than the spencers tv and appliance I work at. Our system of stowing is a joke. But the pay is $18, I can play my music, and it's also 13-14 for 3 days. Then 4 days off...really nice actually.
It feels good to see someone enjoying their work.
Compared to working in an office environment when someone was watching over me all the time, this seems less stressful.
I’m a picker at the West Columbia, SC warehouse. I’ve been there for two years now and I still love it!
Nice!
I wish they had an Amazon warehouse here in Western Nebraska. It would bring so many jobs, and guaranteed they would have loyal employees here who would stay on until retirement. I know I would!
Lol they don’t allow people to stay long ... they fire you before you get any raises only executives stay for long
@@lewizzrocks been at amazon for 3 yrs and am making 21.50 as a tier 1, but a lot of ppl do get fired

The only downfall is wearing a stupid mask for 12 hours👎
Thanks for posting. I will look into working there. Hopefully the mask thing can go soon.
Glad I could help!
As soon as enough people get vaccinated then the masks go away. If people refuse to get vaccinated, then the virus sticks around longer and we have to wear the "stupid masks."
@@Jomskylark Masks don't even prevent covid from spreading, even someone who's had all the doses of the vaccine can still transmit the virus. 90% of people aren't even wearing n95 masks so they really aren't doing much.
@@Jomskylark the vaccine doesnt stop the spread of covid. And even businesses are still requiring vaccinated people to wear masks so to say the masks will go away with the vaccine is bs
These people just regurgitate what the media says. If you actually do research the COVID “Vaccine” doesn’t provide immunity. It just prevents severe symptoms. So why force these “vaccine” on people who doesn’t want to get it, if it really doesn’t help eradicate this virus? Plus this virus will be here for YEARS. Don’t expect it to go away like a fever. Viruses are hard to eradicate completely. Look at The Spanish Influenza it was discovered in 1918. Guess what it’s still lingering to this very day. This Covid Virus will just replicate itself to create multiple variants. No “vaccine” can stop that. Only TIME and our own built in Human Immunity can slow this virus and weaken it.
For my warehouse it’s 120 units per hour in the on foot area and then for the OP areas it’s 80 for the smaller stuff and 55 for the bigger stuff. Also on top of rate per hour there is also your DPMO which tracks all the mistakes you made. You can’t put too much weight into a bin. You can’t put similar items together in the same bin or in adjacent bins. And you can’t scan bins before the item which believe it or not a lot of people do that by accident all the time. There are more “mistakes” that they watch out for but they are more complex and most of the time out of your control because the mistake happened at the station before you.
OMG, I would not be able to do this without podcasts or audio books and my Airpods!
Not allowed. There’s forklifts and conveyor belts zipping around and you have to alert to what is going on around you.
Sing as you work. Haha make it fun and silly, people will laugh, maybe even join in!

Its kinda high lol
Let me put something into perspective.
Fire fighters here make about 13.50 an our.
At Amazon I made 15 dollars an hour and with blue badge I made 24.50 on holidays "don't have to work to get paid" as much as my mom makes as a full time homecare nurse after going to school for 6 years. Yeah it's alot
It depends what u compare it to
I started last week picking. I like the job but my herniated disks cant take all the walking. Had to leave early a couple days. Maybe this week will be better
Sorry to hear that! If you have a doctor's note, they can place you in a diffrent department. If they try to fire you, I would definitely report it. Good luck
I'm surprised that companies, especially like AMAZON, allow their associates to film them. Especially while they're working.
They don’t. But it’s unlikely will even notice since she is working by herself.
It a great way to build confidence with the public showing what they’re doing for COVID to keep employees safe and the public as well. Answered a bunch of my questions. 😎
@Samara Hamilton smf3 worker seconds your answer.
This could be proprietary information which could lead to termination for disclosure outside the company. My employer has the same penalty.
They do not. She'll probably be terminated within a few days once they see this. And they will.
I dont work at amazon but I just got hired at warehouse doing something similar to this, what I do is putaway and picking so I'll assign items to their aisles when doing putaway then ill be picking items when doing picking, so ill be hopping around which is nice but its all the same area so ill learn it fast. I think ill have a very positive mindset like you had, especially since my homie is one of my managers 🔥
Be careful who you tell that you're recording inside their facility if you didnt get their consent.
You could be violating a non disclosure agreement and could terminated and worst case sued for intellectual theft.
Ok
.
Facts
Did your warehouse not have the A.I robots for stowing and picking? Is this the set up because it's larger items?
Not at this warehouse
I had my day 1 yesterday so orientation and walk through. I’m sorter sooooo I’m just a little nervous. I know it’ll be easy but I feel like ima mess up lol
How is it ?
They give you a lot of time to train and they are typically pretty understanding for mistakes as long as it not too often. Let us know how it goes!
If there was a NEW marketplace like amazon but treated it workers much better
but didn't have all the perks of what amazon YET,
would you buy from this NEW company and support it to grow?
Yes, I would

They are building 2 of them near me in Chicago south suburbs. If I was young I might try it. I’m almost 64 and physically disabled. I could maybe stand for one hour on a good day. So no thanks. Good luck to you at your job there.
I live in Illinois so I’m familiar with the 2 you’re referring to. I’ve seen some older disabled people working there. They had a guy in a wheelchair just sitting at the front desk to tell employees to please pull up their mask. I’ve seen others with disabilities also & they are good about finding you a job.
My aunt who was in her sixties worked there she had recently had ankle surgery so she couldn't keep it and she went on to be a caregiver but she said that if physically she could have done the Amazon instead she would have because she likes it way better than caring for elderly
How much are your earnings? I couldn't find much info about the payment. Also is anyone from another country? How is it with the accomodations,etc?some details would be very helpful.Thanks!
Just hope you don't get fired for making a video. There has been some news recently of people getting fired for making tiktok videos during work time (usually videos that are offensive but you never know)
I posted this video so no I didn’t get fired. I made another video explaining y I quit. When I was working there, I didn’t use my phone besides emergencies but I wanted to make this video because I thought it would be helpful

I work at the Costco warehouse. It’s nice to see how yours works
Awesome! Thank you!
Gracias good info, just before you take tha yellow cage it has paper? Información about the products i mean list of orders. Gracias

But I cant work it 40 hours a week, I'm too old, but yeah this job great part-time gig, or for 18 to late twenty somethings. After 30 you're really risking injury if you push yourself to meet goals at a warehouse.
"12 hours straight every day."
Did I hear that right?! Is it really 12 hours a day? Jesus christ, that's a lot of hours.
Update: Holy shit! You guys were not kidding! Apparently there's this thing called "Mandatory Extra Time" (MET) where Amazon Associates HAVE to work 60 hours a week during Peak Season (Thanksgiving, Christmas time, and New Years) for the entire freakin month of Decemeber!

Thank u
Yeh.. I'm also working in Amazon in India
Where are you from mY friend?
Excuse me I have a question: So what happens to a product or an item when someone gets hurt of injured. Do they Recall the item or do they not care and send the item anyway so like when someone gets it there like: why the hell is there a finger in here and why is it covered in blood.
That's something I know nothing about, sorry.
I just quit for a 2nd time. I stowed at a delivery station. Easy work & I liked it, but my body couldn't do it. Then Picking for routes is a whole beast by itself!!
I quit twice before and now I'm at my 3rd Amazon lol. It's hard on your body for a long period of time.

They allow you to take your phone in ?? The metal detector doesn't ring ?
Yes, you're allowed to take your phones, bags and coats in, they provide lockers to put it in but due to covid, the lockers are closed. So they allow you to take it in the warehouse with you.
I love those coffee machines. Don't see many of them around these days.

Picking
I've never picked before. I have stowed and packed before..I like packing better.
Cellphones were forbidden at the Amazon facility that I worked at. We went through metal detectors so I’m always amazed that everyone gets this type of footage. I hated my job at Amazon. It was tiring and draining.
lol how old are the kid working there..if you are an adult there no reason for other adult to decide if you can have a phone or not on you when working
Since COVID, they now allow cell phones because they said it could be a family emergency & they want you to be notified. In my opinion, a family emergency can happen anytime, COVID or not
i have o clue how you feel about stuff like that in the us but if my boss did tell me not to have a phone or lisen to music at my work places i quit right on the spot. i just had a part time job where they did pay me about the 15 18 dollar pr hours when they call me and ask if i want the job i say yer a week after they ask me for a updatet cvi told them no whit that salary you just be happy if i even show up 5 weeks later i did quit. stop selling yourself to low
@@fu-ckyoutube551 little kid problems...does your mommy help you apply also?
@@fu-ckyoutube551 There's a lot of places the ban the use of phones during work hours. There's a big problem of people getting on social media, making non critical phone calls calls and generally wasting time when they are paid to be working. Not only is it a waste of time but while people are doing that they are not at all focused on their job and quality and productivity drop off significantly. There is also the concern of people walking around with their eyes glued to their phone, not looking out for mobile equipment which could run over them. These things might not seem like an issue to you but from an employers perspective they are issues which need to be dealt with. I'm sure any employer who hears the words "I quit" when they tell a person no phones would be more than happy to accept your resignation, they will almost certainly put a note in your HR file that says do not re-employ.
Does Amazon allow you to bring your phones into the warehouse now because when I work for Amazon we were not allowed to bring our cell phones into the warehouse
Due to Covid & the lockers being closed, they allow us to take our phones. Technically you shouldn't be recording.

Can u move up to higher positions or your just stuck in one area forever?
After 30 days of employment, you can request a transfer to another position or location, it's all done on the Amazon A to Z app.... Also, every 6 months you get a .30 raise (I'll do a video on that later). Just make sure that the position you're switching to is a pay raise. Also, you can speak to management if you are interested in a manager position.
As much money as Amazon makes you would think they could give their workers free snacks.
And better pay.
But capitalism.......and worker exploitation because capitalism
They actually do...I would say at least twice a month they give out free snacks, sometime pizza or tacos & they give us free Amazon shirts often
1.55 per hour wont cover the rise in gas prices and menu price raises at your favorite eateries.
Especially with Dementia Joe "in charge".
Godamnn Amazon seem nice, what's it like compared to fedex ground?
Appreciate the tour keep up the positive vibes
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks
I’ve been trying to find out if the first day is 10 hours but no one has that answer. I’m flex so I can choose what shifts I work but the first day not sure how many hours it is.
First day was 8 hours mostly orientation
The 1st day is typically at least 6-8 hours depending how quick they can finish with anyone. If there are a lot of people starting the same day, it could be longer.
Damn this stowing hella different 😂 ion even have this at my facility
Oh wow lol….but yeah I like it

Im at a sort center
How did you get a camera pass? Isn't it company policy to not record inside?
Due to Covid & the lockers being closed, they allow us to take our phones. Technically you shouldn't be recording.
@@withnnicole2149 Awh I see, glad your enjoying it.
You should still consider unionizing with a good local btw. If the opportunity ever arises.
Thank you for working!! Today there are way too many people who are choosing to not work and our country is suffering because of their decisions.
I agree Mark & thanks
I work at Amazon two years now.. I don't mind it! the benefits make it even better.. I have done, pick , stow and now pack singles ..It's not bad at all..
Be careful. They will fire you if they catch you filing in the warehouse.
Very true. Thank you
Do they give Christmas off if your the 6:30pm-7am?
Yes, I got the holiday off but they only paid for 6 hours.
First off, how did you sneak a video camera onto the floor of Amazon???? It's against Amazon rules to bring personal electronics onto the work floor. You can be fired for that and you showed your face. I used to work as a PA and I know the rules of Amazon. I used to do the tours/training of new hires and I always cover the info of not bringing personal electronics on the floor. I left Amazon years ago for a better job opportunity (more money). I worked in every job task in Amazon...except customer service & forklift driver but I'm surprised you got away with this...if you're still working there. If you are still working there...I would delete this video but it's up to you. 2nd, I believe Amazon is a nice job for younger adults. They will work you nonstop but you will acquire a lot of work skills...which equal to advance job opportunities. Also, nonstop overtime. I learned/worked the entire warehouse in less than 19 months, in my 40's. Yes, picker & stower are the easiest positions in Amazon but a lot of walking. I did my cardio in Amazon but I did my weight training in the gym. I was 24/7 fit year-round and beach body ready. Also, invest in comfortable shoes because you will be on your feet for 12 hours. Don't come there in heels like one female I trained years back...YOU WILL BE SORRY. I hope the info I provided can help someone. I trained a lot of people back in the day and some of them advanced to higher positions. A lot of them, fresh out of high school. Just remember, you're there to work and stay on task.
You're exactly right. I'd highly suggest deleting this video as well. My thing too is, you have to put everything in that bucket to go thru security... and guaranteed that sensor would've gone off if you tried to walk thru with a phone in your pocket. I saw a few people asked to hand in their badges for that. I was written up for accidentally bringing in my BT earbuds and my charge cable (2 separate instances).
Obviously she was bribed to do this video as a PR stunt..... Come on
@@BeKozTube being a former FC employee myself, that's blatantly obvious. Here's why. NO FC is EVER that dead.. ever. Notice there were zero security guards when she was walking thru the metal detector and also it didn't go off WHILE SHE WAS RECORDING. I know personally that those detectors go ballistic if you so much as have a paperclip in your pocket.. let alone a $1200 phone. As far as the production floor itself, you can't have ANY devices on the floor... period, unless you're in some form of management or admin role and even that is limited to company supplied devices.
@@BeKozTube this is the REAL answer
She placed another video that she quit to work for Uber - th-cam.com/video/1hAsvmuH1Co/w-d-xo.html
so many people say they hate the job I'm sorry but be grateful you've got work some people have struggled to find a new job because of covid or even before.
You're just wasting your life there honestly. Girl get outta that warehouse
I no longer work there and I will be doing an update why. As far as what you said, it’s a job and it’s great for some people. Everyone has an opinion
@@withnnicole2149 I see u got out that mf in a heartbeat though lol! Looking forward to the update video
Can you drinking water or going to lavatory?
Is there a music from warehouse speaker?
Yes, you can drink water & use the restroom whenever you like. There isn’t music on the warehouse speaker. It’s just silence
@@withnnicole2149 Can you listen music by earphones (mp3 player) or is it banned?
It’s banned
To be honest, I was nervous at first dealing with ⬆️⬆️ but they came through and I’m so happy to be privileged to work with them💯💯
Great to hear!
You must be a supervisor to be so happy.They do absolutely nothing because they know nothing!!!
So, even though you're a stower, you don't have to work on the lifts?? That is my only hesitation, I just really cannot do heights.
I never worked on lifts but I had to train on them. The 1st floor stowers and pickers have to use the lifts, they typically rotate people. I think it's kind of fun but yes, sometimes scary.
First day on the job, and you're preoccupied filming a video instead of being as productive as possible? Not a good start. LOL
My numbers show otherwise but thanks for your concern ❤️
I LIKE MY JOB AT AMAZON TOO. I WORK IN STOW AS WELL. I WORK SUNDAY THRU WEDNESDAY (6PM-430AM) WITH A THREE DAY WEEKEND. ARE YOU GOING TO TRY ANOTHER DEPT. WHEN YOU'RE 30 DAYS ARE UP?
I made a separate video talking about me quitting but unless it was a management opportunity, I would’ve stayed in that position if possible.
Mask for 12 hours on graveyard? Hell to the no lol.
You are why over 600k have died in the US alone. Please shuffle this mortal coil faster you waste our air.
@@dustinmorris1981 ROTF. Im vaccinated. Nice effort though!
@@401Impala no effort sweetheart your ignorance will be your end. I look forward to it 😘
Stay home if you're STILL paranoid after getting the vaccine. If you're out it public or showing up to work unvaccinated, Sorry for ya. If you're vaccinated and still ok with wearing a muzzle, you're a clown.
@@401Impala yes you are a clown. Thanks for admitting that princess. Have several seats 🤭
Thank you
Love the positive attitude and energy well needed⚘️💛🕊
This amazon warehouse is located in Ontario Canada on Steeles right? It looks very familiar!
No it’s in the U.S… In Illinois
I thought the same thing. Scenery and all!!! You kinda sound like you’re from Toronto (not a bad thing) 👌🏾
@@flatline4ever Yup from GTA area.
But its crazy how similar this warehouse is. Basically Copy + pasted across the country.
I will start on a night shift tonight. Looking forward to it.
What was your position called? I looked it up but it said nothing maybe I spelled it wrong. Unless it's sorter here.
Stower
@@withnnicole2149 Thank you.
The lunchroom she's either on break or preshift because nights are not empty 😆 been at gyr1 for 9 months.
Yes, I filmed after my shift so I didn't get anyones face.
Great video, very helpful thank u. 12hr shifts are hard, is it 3 days or 4? Weekly pay or biweekly?
It’s 3 days and paid every Friday. Yes 12 hour shifts are hard lol
