I got my congratulations email for the Area Manager Role on Friday. I’m currently waiting on the official offer letter. I’m really excited and I appreciate these videos!
@@MindfulMotivational most definitely, I do have one question on the 401k is that something you set up on your first day of work or do you set it up on the pre onboarding package?
Great video. I appreciate your honest assessment. Question, you mentioned Amazon hired you as a Level 5 AM. Is that common for all AM’s with prior management experience? I have management experience and awaiting my job offer from Amazon.
I accepted an offer as a L4 area manager in Florida! The only problem is I have a lot of anxiety about starting because it’s my first real job post-grad. I will 100% give it my all but I am curious how demanding/stressful it is and if most turnover is managers being let go or quitting on their own. Any advice/input appreciated!
It's a stressful position for sure and requires a lot of patience in getting trained up. I am actually leaving in a couple of weeks for an opportunity in financial consulting, which is where my passion is. The money and benefits are good, but you have to be willing to sacrifice work/life balance. Most managers leave on their own, due to that reason.
Awesome video! one question, should I work as an entry lvl associate for a couple months prior to when applying for an Area Manager position? Would it benefit or pointless?
Good question... Depending on what your work experience looks like prior, it may make sense to come in as tier 1 (applying internally almost always has an advantage vs external) if you don't mind working in that position. At the same time, applying internally may increase the wait time, and you may not see that interview as quickly as you'd like. This is where external candidates may experience a bit of a quicker process. Ultimately, if you feel you have the qualifications necessary already, I would apply ASAP!
While I know you’re not allowed to say it I just wanted to have an idea about the L5 compensation in 2022 is the bas pay over 75K or less as external thank you brother
Loved the video, super insightful! Did they ask you at all if you had any preference before assigning your work schedule? Or did they just have it assigned to you before you started? Also, I was curious if your training schedule was the same as your normal work schedule? Thanks!
Great questions! They did ask for my preference, but it wasn't focused on the time of day, more so days of the week (I preferred working the front half of the week, which is Sun-Wed as opposed to Wed-Sat). My real schedule did change from training. I went 8AM-7PM for training, and my real schedule now is 2PM-1AM
@@MindfulMotivational hey I am Jose otero Martinez and I will start on March 21 . I want to know is the first to weeks of the training will be from home . And I want to know if you choose the schedule or they give you a choice or opción
@@joseheribertooteromartinez7961 Hey Jose, the first week is from home. They ask for schedule preference, but ultimately it is your manager's/site lead's decision.
yeah so Amazon doesn't care about your preferences more so the business needs at the site. See my channel for further details if you need as I am no longer affiliated with Amazon.
Dude I hate Amazon I feel like all the pa’s and am’s think so highly of themselves, they worry about your time off task but they don’t do much of anything while speaking down on you like a peasant.
I'm coming from the aviation supervisory field and the military before that and was offered an area manager position-what do you recommend for key things I should expand on during the interview process?
Honestly, there is not much formal training for this role. At least not at my site. You can expect to be "training" for the first 4-6 months until you feel fully comfortable, from what I've heard from other area managers. Hope this helps!
Hey dude just a heads up, you're breaking the code of ethics by having this channel. You are NOT supposed to have a channel that speaks to your role with Amazon therefore I would consider other outlets or cancelling the channel altogether. I had my channel deleted due to associates who found out I had one, reported to LP (Loss Prevention) and the onsite HR, which then investigated me and the channel, making me delete it and I also caught a write up for it. I also received a doc coaching for the channel. Just a heads up before you get in trouble as your breaching your code of conduct. My channel, now, delivers the honest and open feedback from someone who was a Stretch 5 at a DS. Let me know if you have any questions but I would get rid of anything Amazon related as they will sue you if you fail to comply as well as lose your job.
@@MindfulMotivational I bitched out some associates on my last channel, they somehow found out, so they drew up an investigation on me like I was the third gunman on the grassy knoll. Bunch of clowns
Where you straight out of college? Do you high a college degree? What is the next position up from an area manager? Long term, what position are you eyeing?
I am a year and a half out of college (they do offer college grads Level 4 Area Manager positions, however, I am a Level 5 AM since I have more experience). The next level is L6 Operations Manager. I may be making a career change here shortly, as operations is not where I see myself long term.

I have an interview for a Shift Manager position next week. This was very helpful so thank you!

Dude I hate Amazon I feel like all the pa’s and am’s think so highly of themselves, they worry about your time off task but they don’t do much of anything while speaking down on you like a peasant.
So why are you there?
@@briandavis2885money.
How are you able to make these videos without violating amazon policy?
Also if you are in AR sortable and Inbound, expect months and months of MET.
I'm coming from the aviation supervisory field and the military before that and was offered an area manager position-what do you recommend for key things I should expand on during the interview process?
Focus on leadership! Familiarize yourself with Amazon's 16 leadership principles and based examples off of those
Do people often get hired as Area Managers with only an Associates Degree? Or, do they only hire people with Bachelors Degrees.
BACHELOR’S IS REQUIRED!
How long is the formal training period?
Honestly, there is not much formal training for this role. At least not at my site. You can expect to be "training" for the first 4-6 months until you feel fully comfortable, from what I've heard from other area managers. Hope this helps!
@@MindfulMotivational helps a lot, thanks!
Brandon W from pit , good vid bro! You been good?
Brandon what's good bro! Been chilling dude, hope all is well with you. Appreciate the support homie
I just got a interview set up from next month for area manager position.
Do area mangers know when your trying to get a transfer?
Unless you keep it strictly between you and human resources, word travels very fast in the facilities. At least that's how it was at mine.
@@MindfulMotivational I'm good thanks
Can you talk a bit about internal promotions, and how common they are from L4 (my current position; I start in May) ?
It's a bit hard for me to say, given I'm only two months in. From what I've seen, I think its reasonable to expect L4->L5 promotion within 1-2 years.
What are the requirements for applying
Do you get RSU as a manager?
Yep!

Haha nope I'm in a fully manual site. Is it that bad?

Okay it was a good video but cut off first 3 mins miminum. I could have watched a music video in that time.
