About this job

You’re looking for a job, we’re looking for you. That is, as long as you thrive in a fast-moving environment, don’t mind working with and around moving mechanical parts, and are okay with a little noise. Our fulfillment centers are where Amazon orders come to life, where we focus on delighting our customers by delivering smiling boxes filled with everything under the sun. 

Answer a few more questions and you’re on your way to your new adventure with Amazon. 

Things you should know about working in an Amazon Fulfillment center:

  • Safety, it’s more than wearing a reflective vest. We’re committed to providing one of the safest work environments, which means stretching, safety tips, and yes…following the rules.
  • Customer-obsession. It makes your day to make someone else happy.
  • Quality is key. You have high standards, and it shows in your work. We’ll hold you to it, but only because we know our associates can handle it.
  • Can you hear me now? Noise level varies and can sometimes be loud.
  • Cool with casual. A relaxed dress code means it’s Casual Friday every day.
  • Amazon lets customers order whatever they need, whenever they need. Flexibility is key, associates should be open to extra hours, time off, and a rapid pace.
  • Temperature in the fulfillment center may vary between 60 and 90 degrees, and will occasionally exceed 90 degrees.
  • Got it? Okay, but what will you actually be doing?
  • You’ve got mail. Receive products using frequency scanners and unload shipments from trucks.
  • Cozy kicks. You’ll stand in one place for extended periods of time, and be walking a good distance around the facility – good shoes are a must!
  • Hands-on experience. You can expect to handle packages from small envelopes to boxes ranging up to 49 pounds.
  • On the move. You should be willing and able to operate carts, dollies, hand trucks and other moving equipment to move large quantities of merchandise.
  • Potential opportunity to operate PIT equipment; special training is offered to associates based on interest and availability.

Hourly Pay Rate: $12.50

  • Blow out the candles – you are at least 18 years old
  • Flex, not just your muscles – you are willing and able to work all shifts
  • Overtime isn’t just a sports term – you are willing and able to work overtime as required, bringing smiles to our customers doesn’t take time off
  • Let’s get physical – you must be able to lift up to 49 pounds with or without reasonable accommodation, stand/walk for up to 10-12 hours, and be able to frequently push, pull, squat, bend, and reach
  • Step it up – you’re able to continuously climb and descend stairs safely (applies to sites with stairs)
