Keep to yourself and focus on the job. It seems like a high school speed dating event sometimes, but if you can get past that the job isn’t too bad. Easy to learn new departments.
Pros:
Simple/repetitive work
If you had the PTO or UPT you could leave/show up when you wanted
Managers were super cool
Break room is huge!
A new pop-up restaurant came to the lunchroom daily
Cons:
HR is not very helpful aside from time clock fixes
Coming back from leave of absence is incredibly difficult due to case managers being overwhelmed
There are 2 bathrooms per floor with 2 toilets each
No water provided
Pay deductions for not being able to perform at a constant pace. Varies based on which job you have. Being dextrose helps avoid that (Time off Task)

In my department, RTS, we usually debrief the van drivers who come back to station from delivering packages. Debriefing is a task where you use a scanning device, scan the driver's badge, and return any packages they return. There's variance on debriefing dependent on Delivery Station locations and individual managers. In my specific station, DLA7 located in Chino, California, the process has shifted to where the package status are evaluated before being scanned by the device. This ensures that the package has been re-attempted and won't impact metrics, with metrics being handled by the Tier 3s and managers.
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.
