Work hours are too much
Will not have time to balance life
They don't care about their students
Don't care about employees
Unprofessional
Look if you're looking to get this job just because the pay is good, I beg you to think twice before you apply here and take the job. This is probably one of the worst jobs I've ever had. First thing is when you get trained on your first day, you're not guaranteed a good trainer who was trained to do the job their training you to do. So if you don't understand how to do your job, it's going to be your fault and not the trainer.
Second, they don't give out part time. You can apply for part time but there's a good chance of you not getting it, even if you're a full time student. I applied for part time many times while working here, showing them my schedule to prove that I'm a full time student. Got denied every single time without reasoning. Just kept on telling me to apply so I can keep getting turned down with no reasoning.
Third, any person with a Liberal Arts degree can be manager. This is the worst thing because none of the managers know how to run the warehouse or how to check on their employees.
Fourth, this job will drain the life out of you. I see it all the time. First day employees come in the warehouse with big smiles because Amazon has tricked them with the high pay rate, but two weeks in the job their smiles flip upside down because they realize how much this job sucks. There's barely no interaction with people if you're doing universal receive. Just at a station all by yourself for 10hrs with 3 breaks in between. Imagine being stuck in your room for 10hrs doing the same thing over and over again with no interaction from the outside world. You will go insane.
Fifth, the hardest part about this job isn't even the work itself. It's trying to keep your mental state from breaking down because being alone for so many hours can make you think nothing but bad thoughts. You get 40 UPT (Unpaid time hours) when you first work here. You can use it anytime you want to and you're going to want to use it everyday because you do not want to be in this place for more than 2-6hrs. Once you run out of UPT, you're forced to stay here for the 10hrs they scheduled you for. Many employees have come up to me telling me that this place gives them suicidal thoughts. THIS ISN'T A GOOD WORK ENVIRONMENT!
Nobody at this warehouse likes this job. My first week here this lady told me that this job will drive anybody insane. I didn't believe at first but 3months into this job and I can't take this crap no more. I'm quitting hopefully in 2 weeks tops. If you have a social life outside this job, kiss that goodbye because you're probably going to spend most of your days in this hell we call a warehouse. Don't come into this job thinking that management is going to treat you good because you're nothing but a number in their eyes. They'll replace you quicker than they hired you.
I'm sorry this is so long but I can't stress this hard enough, please don't work here. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemies this job. This job makes me want to quit everything in life. School, work and life. This job is so stressful and does a lot of damage mentally. Don't get this job unless it's a last resort and even if it's a last resort, look for another job that will treat you better. Hope this review helped some of you.
