I love this place! Its a new challenge everyday and I absolutely enjoy it everyday. Amazon has given me the tools I need to perform my job right. The benefits are unreal, they offer free psychological advice, parental leaves and amazing health benefits. Amazon was one of the first to raise the bar of minimum wage to $15 an hour, to schooling required. They give people who made mistakes in the past a second opportunity to change their lives around. Management could improve.
I have been at amazon for about 11 months now. It started off so great here! Everyone was so happy to have a Amazon in Gary, Indiana because it brought forth so many job opportunities. The starting pay was fifth-teen dollars and some change. My only complaint were the managers. The managers at the location I worked at were careless and didn't care much if you were there or not. Given the fact that we move 40,000 to 50,000 packages a night I would think they were more appreciative.
I work at the Amazon fulfillment center in Columbus, Ohio and the onboarding process is very helpful if you have never worked in a warehouse before. The managers care about your safety and always ensure you have everything you need to be safe.
One thing that I didn't like about the company was that I was hired on through a temp service and was laid off because Jeff Bezo's decided to cheat on his wife and had to lay off some of his staff! Unfortunately, I was one of the employees that got laid off even though I was one of the top packers they didn't give me any alternatives.
