\n\n\n\nWhat it's like at an Amazon Fulfillment Center\n\n\n\n
- \n\t
- Safety. Your safety is important to us, so we provide protective gear. All teams share safety tips daily.\n\t
- Surroundings. You’ll be working around moving machines – order pickers, stand-up forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts.\n\t
- Activity. Some activities may require standing in one place for long periods, walking around, or climbing stairs.\n\t
- Temperature. Even with climate controls, temperatures can vary between 60°F and 90°F in some parts of the warehouse; on hot days, temperatures can be over 90°F in the truck yard or inside trailers.\n\t
- Noise level. It can get noisy at times. We provide hearing protection if you need it.\n\t
- Dress code. Relaxed, with a few rules to follow for safety. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required. Depending on the role or location, Amazon provides a $110 Zappos gift code towards the purchase of shoes, in order to have you prepared for your first day on the job.\n
\n\n\n\nWhy You’ll Love this Job\n\n\n\n
- \n\t
- Stay busy. You and your team are engaged the entire shift.\n\t
- Schedule options. Depending on where you work, schedules may include full-time (40 hours), reduced-time (30-36 hours) or part-time (20 hours or less), all with the option of working additional hours if needed.\n\t
- Shift flexibility. Work when it works for you. Shifts may include overnight, early morning, day, evening, and weekend. You can even have four-day workweeks, three-day weekends – and with Anytime Shifts, you can work as little as four hours per week.\n\t
- Career advancement. We have made a pledge to upskill our employees and offer a variety of free training and development programs, and we also have tuition support options for select employee groups. See where your Amazon journey can take you.\n\t
- New skills. Depending on the role and location, you’ll learn: how to operate a garment press and high-capacity printer, a t-shirt folding machine, how to assist with the print production process, or how to receive and process customer returns.\n\t
- Free training. Depending on the role and location, we’ll teach you how to drive power industrial trucks (PIT) such as forklifts or a pallet driver, how the printing process works, and how to work with the latest Amazon technology – including robots.\n\t
- Team environment. Work on small or large teams that support each other.\n
