Amazon Inbound Operations Associate reviews

Most associates start overnight and can take a LONG time to get a shift change to daytime hours. School accommodation schedules are difficult to achieve if your assigned shift is during the school week. My shift was M-Th and so was school. Changing my shift to later in the week was not allowed. You also cannot go negative in your time-off bank. I unfortunately got sick and went negative in my bank and was terminated since it violates Amazon's Attendance Policy. The work isn't fun... it's the equivalent of working on an assembly line. Just do the same thing over and over and over. That being said, it's great for people who don't have a drive for more complex work. Retention is terrible; 12 walk in and 11 walk out (within a month).

Long hours, very short breaks, not a chair in the building other that the break room. Unrealistic expectations for workers output. The break room is a good 5 min walk from my work station. This is a mammoth facility. You get 30 min for break and 10 are spent sprinting there. You are expected to be back at you station working within 3 mins or you will get (TOT)time of task. A few of those and your fired. Furthermore you are expected to work at a predetermined rate that is unrealistic, and if you make errors, even on your first day, it puts you in the 3 strike cycle. 3 strikes and your out. My feet hurt very bad by shifts end. Im 37, and in fairly good shape and it's a physical grind to make it threw a shift. If you are willing to work hard and be on time it's a good place to work with opportunities to move up quickly. Don't expect anyone to hold you hand and feel sorry for you. That's not how they do things. They do mass hiring every month. They onboarded 193 when I was hired, so keep in mind that your just a number to them and you will be replaced quick. They have 18 year olds making $15 an hour right out of high school so the pay is decent. There moto is any wiling hand is hired so the chance you will be working along side an idiot is pretty high.
