What I liked
The job is exactly what they tell you when you’re hired. It isn’t difficult and they’re very upfront about it.
What I wish was different
There are days when you only work three hours then leave. It’s hard to make a reliable income when you can be released at any time. Also, the work is redundant, it’s very manageable, but some days it was hard to not feel a bit numb.
Advice
This job is all about attitude. You absolutely get out of it what you are willing to put into it.

Shopper
June - August 2019 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I really liked working at Amazon. I have good memory so shopping for items for
customers was enjoyable.
What I wish was different
The availability of working hours was competitive. More hours were available after I left for college.
Advice
There’s a lot of free time, during that time shoppers should learn where various items are around the store. This is so when an order comes in shoppers are able to minimize their amount of time shopping. Which will result in customers getting their items on time.

Amazon warehouse associate
August 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT
What I liked
Paid weekly
Only 15 minutes away
Got me in physical shape
Made good friends
Opportunity to grow
What I wish was different
Shorter work day (its 10 hours, four days a week)
Switch between tasks. (We move itmes into robots and it's very rough on the body, took most people 1 month to get used to it)
Managers work along side us.
Advice
If you work there, keep your eye on moving forward and being positive. You are stuck in a warehouse with no natural light and your work never ends. Keep positive and that would help. Remember to make friends and to enjoy it.
The physical part is super hard. It will be painful to wall after work, so relax a little and stretch. This will make you strong.
