I currently work at an Amazon sortation center where I recently got my blue badge and make around $24.50/hour, working roughly 25–30 hours a week depending on how much they flex us up or down. The job itself is honestly super easy and laid-back. I work inbound almost exclusively, unloading trailers, loading packages onto the belt, and occasionally handling non-conveyable items. There’s a decent amount of downtime, the environment is social, and overall it’s a pretty chill place to work. It’s so chill here I can disappear and go to the bathroom for 30 minutes to an hour even without getting in trouble (do this often). The downside is that full-time opportunities here are extremely rare, and I’d really like to get 40 hours a week consistently. I recently became eligible to transfer to a fulfillment center that’s only about 7 miles from my house, compared to the 17 miles I currently drive, and they’re offering full-time hours. The position would be ship dock at what I’ve heard is a robotic facility. My biggest concern is that the workload could be significantly harder and more physically demanding than what I’m doing now. I’m trying to figure out whether the guaranteed hours and shorter commute are worth potentially giving up a much easier work environment. There are also a few minor reasons I’d consider leaving, including some awkwardness with a couple of coworkers, but that’s not really the main factor. For anyone who’s worked ship dock at a robotic fulfillment center, how physically demanding is it compared to inbound at a sortation center? Would you make the switch for full-time hours, or would you stay at the easier building and wait for a full-time opportunity?

What should I expect as a new pa and new to ssd. My site is launching soon and I’m really nervous. I’m in outbound coming from inbound and I’m sorta scared and excited. Like will I be getting VET ? Is it easy than FC ? Please share tips or anything to help me out please. Also explain what is “outbound” I have no clue what to expect.

Hello! I currently work at a Fulfillment Center, but used to work at a Distribution Center, and I'm thinking about transferring to a SSD site that does pharmacy and grocery. If anyone can help, what does inbound and outbound look like at one of these? Since I know it's probably pretty different to both.

Masturbanda, estoy en proceso de selección como SSD Shift Area Manager, saben como esta el rollo?, vengo del giro de manufactura (pinche maquila) y nunca he trabajdo en empresas como Amazon o de logistica en envíos. Es en monterrey pero he visto q mucha raza se viene a jalar de otros estados para ese puesto. Gracias

Hi everyone,

I wanted to know about the work culture at this company, particularly regarding working hours and overtime. Are employees generally expected to stay beyond their regular working hours, or is overtime only required occasionally when there is extra work?

I would appreciate it if current or former employees could share their experiences. Thanks!

About to start part-time with Amazon next month. Have already done my pre-hire appointment, background cleared, drug test cleared, I-9, selected my schedule, etc., however, when it's still only giving me a tentative start date.

When does the tentative start date become a confirmed start date.

Previously I had applied for a different job with Amazon, got everything completed, and then they emailed me saying all the spots were full. I just want to make sure that's not gonna happen again.

I received my inclined email from the recruiter on 21 September. The email confirmed my inclined status for the Operations and Logistics Internship 2027 and asked me to provide a few details, including my availability and location preferences. I mentioned that I was completely flexible and willing to relocate anywhere, while also sharing my top three location preferences.

I replied with all the requested details, but I have not received any response from my recruiter since then. I have emailed him four times, sending one follow-up per week, but there has been complete radio silence.

Is this normal at Amazon, and should I reach out to someone else or continue waiting?

Has anyone here been rehired at Amazon as a third-party W2 contractor after being laid off while on Focus (not PIP/Pivot)? My Amazon onboarding has started, and my laptop status currently shows “Scheduled.” Does this mean I’ve cleared Amazon’s rehire eligibility checks and am approved to start, or could there still be issues during onboarding? I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through a similar situation.

I just got hired for DIB6 warehouse Amazon flex i was just wondering what the shift start times are like at this building does anyone know. thank you in advance

It's honestly not for me, unless you tying to move up at amazon or you want to stay out of path it's literally more responsibilities for the same pay, I prefer being in my station stress free and listnening to music and watch my tv shows in peace and hit my rate and go home, I only did it because my manager kept aksing me over and over again every month for 1 year straigt to try it out, since I'm a top performer in quality and prodoctivity she thinks that I would be a good fit for amnesty but I truly hate it and I want out, and now I'm hearing people saying you can't quit amnesty entirely unless you injured or transfer out of the building

Any guidance or suggestions for a new Amazon robotics associate? I am 18 and female, and this feels like my first real job. I worked at McDonald’s at 15, but that lasted only a month, and I recognize McDonald’s and Amazon are distinct roles.

Just got converted on Sunday can anybody tell me the pros and cons of being blue badge? J curious

Any recent compensations. Located in Bay Area California

going through my employment documents to sign. and im very confused by the meal waiver doc. im not sure what it is asking me. any help will be greatly appreciated.

hi everyone, i've worked for amazon twice before. one time starting jan 2025 and after a few months i got fired cause i just stopped going (stupid, i know) and got too much UPT. then i worked at a different location oct 2025 and got fired too in the middle of a shift a few days after xmas (i was seasonal but still too much UPT.) i know im a dumbass that's not my question though lol, the first time i had to wait 3 months for rehire and the next time 6 months, so i have another "first day" at my original location tomorrow. the problem is that now i see a jobs been posted at a better location with better hours and id really like to do that one instead. i'll still go tomorrow (obviously) and do my best but is there a way for me to switch to this other location and schedule? i was thinking maybe i need to resign within the a to z app (not immediately) then apply to the other job? any help is appreciated

I'm torn. To preface this, I worked at a robot facility for a year during peak COVID as a stower, water spider, problem solve and then eventually damage land before I left due to bad PAs and a better higher paying Opportunity in sales.

After I left I got my degree, moved up in my sales job to eventually leading to ops manager and then multi unit general manager.

I recently got a recruitment email for a soft goods facility wanting me to be AM 2. Obviously the pay is good/ bonus and the benefits..

But would I really wanna go back?

Does anyone have any insight or tales of caution/success

Edit: I currently make anywhere from 65-90k a year based off bonus in my current job.
