FLT driver, the role was good and I found it interesting.

The role was only a short term contract through, a local employment agency, I would have happliy stayed in this post if the opportunity would have been there.

The company itself is awesome to work for. I absolutely LOVED my job!!! But I was promised an at home position before I even did my training. After 2 weeks of training and 4 weeks of working on site, they were unable to fulfill this agreement.

loaded trucks and secured trailers for shipment. Learned several things for working loading docks and stacking pallets. had to leave due to lay-offs

It was physically demanding job; we were all(co-workers) on our feet for 10-hour shifts with 2 15-min breaks (for relief and water) and 1 30-min break(for lunch). I learned how to do packaging slips for boxes, the shipping sticker, scanning the boxes into the database, packing the boxes and taping them up. The worse problem for me was that they told – more...  me I could come in extra days and then fire me the week before. No matter what they never tell you when they gonna start letting people go(they send you in circles on who to ask about it and you never seem to produce any answers). – less

I had a great experience working for amazon.com. I learned how to get along with great people and had wonderful supervisors

Amazon is not such a bad job especially if you need some money. Getting paid every week is worth it in the end. Working there twice, I learned of two different jobs and the standards to meet. Some of the co-workers are not some to obilge. There is always someone that may catch an attitude for no apparent reason. The hardest part of the job is standing – more...  for 9 hours with a 1 hour break split 3 ways. Overall it is something to act upon but after a while it may not be for some individuals. – less

I was hired to work at Amazon through Integrity Staffing Solutions, Amazon is their only client. I thought I was on my way to being hired as a Amazon associate. However despite being trained on Clamp-truck two days before I was let go on December 21st. It wasn't just me of the 250 employees working through Integrity all but 4 were let go that day.

I managed 6 area managers and in charge of 200-500 associates. Have to manage all processes of the outgoing of shipping of customer orders. You must be very detailed and pro-active.
Most enjoyable part is dealing with all the people. help teach and train.

*A typical day was 10 hours, 6pm-4:30am.

*I learned mainly what the company was all about as far as products and services offered to customers.

*management was pretty much just that managing, each and every situation,employee as needed. Informative to their employees and helpful.

*Co-workers were hard workers, different age groups and backgrounds. – more...  All about striving for perfection

*The hardest part of job was getting the rates needed to keep and maintain your job,

*The enjoyable part was the knowing of stability of employment and the ability to do job at pace needed, which made job easy and time move through out the shift. – less

Amazon is a great company that will challenge you everyday to your limit. Always striving to improve processes in order to enhance the customer experience that will fuel growth. Company is developing leaders to have engaging interactions with associates. Great pay for management but expect a challenging work life balance.

My Daily duties at Amazon were simple. IF customers oreded parts my job was to simply take those orded parts and place them on the conveyor.

doing the same thing over and over, you learn a lot about the fullfillment aspect of companies, management is a little hard to get along with, hardest part of the job is being on your feet and walking about 20 miles a day as fast as you can,

I enjoyed working 40 hours a week and having the option to work over time.

A nice job if you have no other life, as you spend most of your life on the wrong side of living.

they links their employee skills with opportunities for growth in the company and helps employees understand how their work contributes to the firm's success. That I like the most which help us to develop our skills and company.

Amazon is a great, fast growing company to work for. There are few dull moments.

Amazon has the most unrealistic measurable "rates" (read: quotas) I have ever seen. If you have a certain number of items to be packed, sorted or pulled they want no excuses. example - - if you are required to process/sort , say, 500 items per hour but spend over half that time waiting for items to be brought to you they don't care, you are still expected – more...  to process 500 items in an hour. This is most often physically impossible. Likewise if you are packing orders they expect 60 (later 80) items packed per hour (including enclosures and outside labels) but do not allow for changing tape dispenser, problems with the air pillow machine, conveyor stoppage or lack of cartons needed to pack the items they don't want to hear about it.. Also for packing your work station changes from day to day, with different locations for tape dispenser, air pillow machine and cartons at each location. This makes improving on your rate nearly impossible. – less
