Area Manager Intern

May - July 2019 • Tracy, CA

What I liked

One of the biggest things I enjoyed at Amazon was the working environment. Everyone works long hours but it goes by quickly as there is always something that has your attention. It was fun! I enjoyed working on my project and getting to know the associates and other area managers. It is an experience I will not forget.

What I wish was different

My internship heavily focused on a project. I would have preferred less emphasis on the project and more on learning the job. I also think a group project, or several intern projects that relate would have been a slightly better experience.

Advice

Do not be scared to ask questions or seek help. I found myself in situations where I had to speak with someone from another department. I was reluctant at first as I did not know how to approach or who to speak to in some cases. I learned that I had to put myself out there and ask around to get the help I needed.

I liked how the schedule is so flexible. I fix my own schedule and get to work whenever I want. Also I like the pay which was impressive to me.

What I wish was different

What I wish was different is if they had posted more shifts so I can have more hours in my schedule.

Warehouse Associate

April - November 2019 • San Bernardino, CA

What I liked

I liked working with my coworkers and getting to experience how a warehouse operates in a logistics setting. Amazon is the biggest online retailer and I am glad I got the opportunity to work in the fulfillment center to be part of their team. I enjoyed getting to hear the different stories of my coworkers and why they started working for Amazon. Some just worked for the extra money or were in college and others to support their families. I worked this job over the summer while I was taking classes at CSUSB. I quit in Nov. while I was focusing for midterms and finals. I needed to focus on school to pass my classes and I'm glad I did. In Dec 7, I graduated with my bachelor's in marketing.

What I wish was different

I wish I got to be in a leadership position for Amazon. Amazon does not acknowledge regular warehouse associates. Once you go inside the building, you scan your badge, go to your spot, and start working. My job was to unload the packages from the trailers and put them in the conveyors. Sometimes the packages would be really heavy and I had to sort them in different pallets. I would be doing this for 4-5 hours. The job is really labor intensive and in my opinion not worth working over a long duration. There was a lot of room for accidents to occur, I could have easily broken my back carrying and lifting packages for a certain period of time. I also wish they could have checked up on me more frequently to see if i was ok, since I was working in one of the hardest places in the warehouse.

Advice

My piece of advice is that if someone wants to work for this job, then it is fine if it is part-time. I can not imagine working full-time, by the end you would probably be dead inside. The things that were worth the effort was getting to socialize with new people and getting the experience of working for a fortune 500 company. I was curious how Amazon operated with its warehouses so that is one of the reasons on which I applied. I had to also motivate myself and be positive during work because I felt a negative aura during my time there. There is no communication while at work, just gloomy-looking associates silently working in their posts.

Human Resources Intern

June - August 2019 • Sparrows Point, MD

What I liked

I liked the fact that I was given hands on experience to learn what my day to day life in my career field would be like. It helped me understand what HR in a large company entails.

What I wish was different

Amazon is a large company so it is constantly opening new warehouses. I just wish my internship was in a more seasoned warehouse as I didn’t have as much support being placed in a new warehouse.

Advice

Get a head start on your project. If the people in your warehouse can’t help, reach out to those in other places.

Order Picker

April - July 2020 • Monroe, OH

What I liked

I liked that I had a set schedule every week, and that I could work two days, then have a day off, then work two days, and have the weekend off.

What I wish was different

I wish they had allowed me to take a few days off for the family reunion.

Advice

A piece of advice is to be prepared for hard work. It takes work physically, because you might be standing for 10 hours straight. It also requires mental work, to entertain yourself, rather than ending up hating your job because you get so bored. Be prepared.
