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,!
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 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 🔥
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. 😎
Bfi4 has these big ass roomba robots that bring you pods for you to store product!! It’s pretty awesome tbh. Watching those robots do their thing is a trip!
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. 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
@@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.
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.
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
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 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.
@@J0k3rl 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.
@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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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
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
"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.
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!
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.
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
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!.
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.
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!
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.
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
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
@@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🤣
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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. 👍👌☺
@@withnnicole2149 I haven't worked at every warehouse do I don't know. I do know Amazon sucks and isn't worth your time. You can make twice as much changing toner cartridges on Wall Street without standing 12 hours.

I wish they let people have at least one headphone in or have least a radio on low lol anyways this jobs seems good for me even though I have no experience. I’m tired of working in an office and deal with people
OMG! Trust me, I worked in an office for 8 years and it was so stressful. I took a pay cut here but I'll take peace over money. While I work here, I work on building my business....People have left comments on this video saying that I must be getting paid to say it's peaceful but until they have worked in a stressful office for years, they would never understand lol.
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.
Why i and others quit amazon. They always do this to the best employees. When we’re packing. And we finish our wall. They make us go do rebinding or inducting. Of you keep doing this to your employees, they’ll get tired of your crap and resign.
WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! They block off the lockers where your stuff is stored SEPARATELY FROM EVERYONE ELSE'S but you can hang your coat on a rack TOUCHING EVERYONE ELSE'S??? OH THE STUPIDITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I know. The hypocrisy with this Covid crap is mind blowing. I especially liked the paper plates stacked on the microwave, which can be handled by anybody, most likely people that stick their fingers in their mouth or pick their nose. 😂
Amazon was a miserable place to work a few years back. I hated it. I worked in warehouses most of my life that place is the worst. The break times are a joke lunch is to short and the picking system is so broken. They didn’t even offer us Amazon prime for free. As big as this company is they wouldn’t give us free prime. I use Amazon for certain items but as a place to work I just tell people good luck.
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
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
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
i worked at Amazon as a picker, it was the worst place i ever worked. As soon as i was hired AI targeted me for Termination, nothing i could do to make rate. It gave me me shit orders on purpose so it was impossible to make rate. After a little over 2 months i was terminated for not making rate. Amazon is great to order stuff from but i hated working there. Amazon is all about pleasing the customer, that's what i was told by personal when i got written up after my first week.

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.

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.

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.
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 start next week! But I have so much anxiety with getting lost 😂 like not even a joke is it really bad finding your way out and whatnot
Your break room or lunch room is amazing
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.
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

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
Do you get paid that same week when you do your day 1 and etc

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.

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
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 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.
@@J0k3rl 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.

@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.

@@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.

@@cosmokramer5055 at fed ex you unload 120 pound IC packages non stop on a belt and get yelled at Amazon is a cake walk
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.
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)

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.
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..

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.

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.
Thank You lot's of bad reviews about Amazon. I think when someone comes up with a Great Idea. There is always someone who tries to take away.
It's all about perspective
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
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
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

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
Is that wage she is earning average for employees, as it sems low. I'm from Australia so not familiar with the wages.
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

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
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.

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. 😎😎
Thank u
Yeh.. I'm also working in Amazon in India
Where are you from mY friend?
I’m a picker at the West Columbia, SC warehouse. I’ve been there for two years now and I still love it!
Nice!
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".
I start on July 21 for my second full time job. Need to run it up for a few months. Question what is the instrumental? You play at the start of video? I love it. Ima youtuber as well. Thanks
Same. Amazon will be my 2nd full time job. How’s it going so far?
@@relaxinghour578 I was supposed to start this past Thursday but my 1st full time job asked me for OT lol. So I start at Amazon in 2 weeks. I changed the start date
@@upsetstoassets hey, have any updates on how its going at amazon ?
@@relaxinghour578 man I never started. I seen a target position open and ima take that for my 2nd job. Amazon was going to pay 17 for 4 days 10hrs. Target paying 21.15. 3 days 12hr shift. Start on 25th
Be careful. They will fire you if they catch you filing in the warehouse.
Very true. Thank you
I wish they let people have at least one headphone in or have least a radio on low lol anyways this jobs seems good for me even though I have no experience. I’m tired of working in an office and deal with people
OMG! Trust me, I worked in an office for 8 years and it was so stressful. I took a pay cut here but I'll take peace over money. While I work here, I work on building my business....People have left comments on this video saying that I must be getting paid to say it's peaceful but until they have worked in a stressful office for years, they would never understand lol.
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.
Why i and others quit amazon. They always do this to the best employees. When we’re packing. And we finish our wall. They make us go do rebinding or inducting. Of you keep doing this to your employees, they’ll get tired of your crap and resign.
Yes, I can understand that. Amazon has a high turnover rate.
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 ❤️
WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! They block off the lockers where your stuff is stored SEPARATELY FROM EVERYONE ELSE'S but you can hang your coat on a rack TOUCHING EVERYONE ELSE'S???
OH THE STUPIDITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I know. The hypocrisy with this Covid crap is mind blowing. I especially liked the paper plates stacked on the microwave, which can be handled by anybody, most likely people that stick their fingers in their mouth or pick their nose. 😂
It makes no sense
Appreciate the tour keep up the positive vibes
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks
Wow , do you think they are a little COVID paranoid. Geesh
HAHA They are
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
Amazon was a miserable place to work a few years back. I hated it. I worked in warehouses most of my life that place is the worst. The break times are a joke lunch is to short and the picking system is so broken. They didn’t even offer us Amazon prime for free. As big as this company is they wouldn’t give us free prime. I use Amazon for certain items but as a place to work I just tell people good luck.
I feel that they could definitely do better in a lot of areas
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!!!
Seems like a great TEMPORARY gig...VERY temporary, lol.
It's one thing to work like a drone, but I feel Amazon takes it to dangerous levels.
It's a job not a career unless you're in management
Godamnn Amazon seem nice, what's it like compared to fedex ground?
Wow.....a happy Amazon worker.......She will probably quit in a year....LOL
I did quit & made a video about y.
@@withnnicole2149 lol.
...see ......told ya .....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
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
I've seen multiple disabled people working there. Have you tried speaking to HR? Also, the hiring events may gibe you a better chance.
I will start on a night shift tonight. Looking forward to it.
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
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
lol
Work . go home . and be at peace gurrrrrl preach
Can't listen to music that would be a NO NO making a TH-cam video A Okay👍👌🤣
Lol
You may lose your job if corporate sees this. If you value your job I would delete this girl.
I posted a video a while ago stating y I quit
I currently work here and it’s awesome i love it. I sometimes will sneak an ear piece in if i’m not around anyone. Super chill and laid back job
Nice!!
i worked at Amazon as a picker, it was the worst place i ever worked. As soon as i was hired AI targeted me for Termination, nothing i could do to make rate. It gave me me shit orders on purpose so it was impossible to make rate. After a little over 2 months i was terminated for not making rate. Amazon is great to order stuff from but i hated working there. Amazon is all about pleasing the customer, that's what i was told by personal when i got written up after my first week.
Wow...They can be known to write you up often depending on your manager.
@@withnnicole2149 yeah well they were A holes
