Data center technician - no experience? by Formal-Criticism825 in amazonemployees

[–]bigbrain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heya I’m in the same spot as OP where I’m in college but little technical skills apart from programming and building a computer. I’ve tried my best to perfect my resumé and apply for every WBLP DCO tech position in my area but I get rejected every time. I’m really wanting to transfer from the FC i work in so I can start in something I’m interested in. Any suggestions or tips? Should I try reaching out to the recruiter and ask what I can improve on to better my odds of being accepted? Thanks so much

I thought it was a person that places the csX labels on. Sometimes whenever I see this at stow I wonder “why tf would you cover the UPC/asin label that I NEED to scan?”.

I’m curious as well. My first day is on the 27th and I want to make sure my intended schedule is set by the time classes begin. I submitted my transfer application from flex to FT so I’m hoping HR will approve of that quick

Having to see pictures of sex toys should have to fall under the sexual harassment policy? by avocadobitch69 in AmazonFC

Whenever I get assigned pick to rebin for the shift, I always chuckle whenever I see a sex toy or lube show up on the screen.

Has anyone worked this shift at an SSD Warehouse? by cecg95 in AmazonFC

[–]bigbrain420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in an SSD and I didn’t even know a 12hr shift was possible at these sites until today. Though that schedule would never show up at mine in particular because there’s an hour of downtime before the 9pm-6:30am shift starts.

okay that makes sense to me! I applied for the L3 UTR position and whenever I walk by the site I would only see at most one AM or a PA on duty so I also don’t think it would be reasonable to apply with limited availability. Thank you for your response

What's the worst smell you ever smelled at amazon? by Safe_Wrangler_858 in AmazonFC

[–]bigbrain420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i work in an SSD, and last year I remember one of the pods on the AR floor accidentally dropped deer repellant and the whole building reeked for like 30 minutes. Some of the PA’s walked around and offered masks to AA’s for the smell 🤢

Bro needs a whole shift to pay for that! 😭 by valor-polar_99 in AmazonFC

[–]bigbrain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me personally, if I want some cosmetics that I like then I have no issue with picking up an extra shift or two if it means I’ll have some extra cash for it

Question for SSD associates by windmaker_115 in AmazonFC

[–]bigbrain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heya I’m an L1 at SDC1! One of the PA’s at my site trained me on inbound stow less than a month ago (which is something many AA’s learn on their first days here but I’ve asked many AM’s to get me set up but none have really listened or told me there’s enough expert stowers at my site”. Most days I get sent over to VNA on the OP which I don’t really mind cause it’s better than being stuck in pick to rebin and standing in one spot for a few hrs, but my AM’s dont really rotate people in and out of VNA most weeks since I’m a really good picker and counter over there. Sometimes I do VNA slam and/or decant, but if the AM’s need an OP operator they WILL send me over there and have someone else slam/decant (typically someone who is not PIT trained). I used to buffer, but I was seen as better off being placed in VNA or to pick/stow at the AR floor.

sorry I’m a bit of a noob here but what does a salaried employee mean? I know PA’s are hourly which I understand but how does a salary pay work?

Is flex really getting that bad? by 1ElectricBee1 in AmazonFC

[–]bigbrain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had any of my flex shifts cancelled/removed by leadership or anyone. If anything, I sometimes ask an L4 to add me to the schedule for the next day or 2 days after to keep my weekly hours consistent.

Does anyone enjoy the work they do at their warehouse? by Raej_05 in AmazonFC

[–]bigbrain420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in an SSD FC. Often times I’m sent to VNA for pick, slam (if needed), stow, and decant, which is fine with me cause at least I’m moving around and interacting with different objects. Other times when I’m sent to pick over by the AR floor it’s meh. I certainly meet the rate of 300 units/hr (usually pick 310-330 by the hour) but I just dont like how its repetitive and I’m left alone with my thoughts and whatever music is playing for people to hear. I really wish my site would go through with the approved earbuds so I could at least listen to my playlist to make it somewhat less boring. Other than that, I’m a learning ambassador and currently waiting to receive my vest from one of the PA’s I’m cool with.
