Has anyone here worked at Amazon or somewhere similar?

Big Boss · October 04, 2015, 04:54:22 PM

I have an induction tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone here has worked at a place like that, and can give any insight?

Mr. Psychologist · October 04, 2015, 04:55:31 PM

I uh... didn't hear good things about it on the BBC a few years back >_>

At a distribution or fulfillment center/warehouse?
I've got experience in that industry, not at Amazon.

Um...

Good luck.

Amazon is literal hell on Earth to work for. Best to avoid them.

Probably, to be honest.

Are you talking about grunt work, or an office job? Office jobs at Amazon are basically white collar Lord of the Flies, pure toxic environment with 80 hour work weeks demanded of you.

If you're talking about grunt work, then keep in mind that Amazon is known to line up ambulances outside their warehouses so they can just work their drones until they pass out from heat exhaustion then just cart them out and replace them. They will literally work you to death without a second thought if they can get away with it.

nah most of the stuff was light enough for one person to carry even the washing machines and fridges. i was only involved in unloading delivery vans and stock and then loading other vans for delivery to customers.

No, trust me, Amazon is miles better according to my friends. I worked at McDonald's, pls don't do that to yourself

Take the box and score it across the field goal. You need to have a strong throwing arm.

It's also best if you come into work every day as a roid rage monster and take out all your frustrations on the boxes and packages, so that you can smash and crush every one of them as tightly as possible into the ~~bomber~~ airplane for delivery.

Warehouse work is shit and generally full of complete nobheads

Working for big company such as them is of difficultness. Glass ceiling exists and money is nowhere to be found. Be weary in your quest and listen to advice of wise, experienced people in this thread.
