Amazon Inbound Stower reviews

Everything. This could be a nice place to work, place is 98% black employed. They set you up to fail. My position was stow, and with the tons of Temps they were bring in daily, you end up Team Stow, two people working in a station logged in under 1 persons badge the entire shift, even when you go to breaks the buddy remains logged in under your badge, God knows what or how they're performing, miss scans, not emptying containers. I've been there and smell weed and alcohol on workers, it's like going to high school, it's a big hangout for all the home boys and home girls. Lead assistants, product assistants, ambassadors, love to interrupt you anywhere from 6 to 15 times in an evening mainly to give you your numbers updated, they're really non workers, they get to run around the place all night giving the timed employees orders. THE PLACE IS A JOKE. Constantly, have items that you can't scan due to bad bar codes, expiration dates, overages, receiving not counting the items correctly. They brag about how they got into their cushy positions because they stowed very high numbers, in reality, of course they did, when the company opened up in march or april, none of the kiva bins were full, they were EMPTY. Plus their quota was only 1800 and they stowed quite differently, now it's like 2500 or whatever they decide to make it. You go to stowe items and the bins are 90% full already, or the bar codes are missing. You can't move in a department unless you've been they're for 90 days minimum, and then still not guaranteed they can move you. Or unless, your in tight, favorites with Pa, Ambassador, or lead. They can recommend to move you up. My shift was Wednesday through sat, evening/overnights. From 6pm til 430am. I was paid 13.50. Basically, 13.00 plus .50 an hour for night shift. Was Not given weekend differential because my schedule didn't include SAT and SUN, which in reality I did work k the entire weekend. Ex. Friday night into Saturday morning, then I went back in Saturday night til Sunday morning. Again, BIG FAT JOKE. I knew from my orientation that this place was going to be, because they changed my shift before I even started. they only people they put in leadership roles are young white males for the majority. you can take anything up with leadership/STUPERVISORS, HR, NO ONE cares. the place has been running for 6 or 8 months, and already run into the ground. Parking lot, one way in, one way out. Takes you 20 minutes to get in or out sometimes, then the trash,cause ruthless workers cant throw it in trash cans. They have flagged out there directing traffic. Breaks Area a joke, 15 minutes before and after the half hour lunch. It does takes you anywhere from 2 to 4 minutes if you walk fast to get outside to smoke or even to a breakroom, then another 2 to 4 minutes to get back to your station. this a first jobs for a lot of these 18-22 year olds coming in, some of the crowd is 30s, 40s. but mainly a hang out for them to hang out and flirt, fashion Bonista for some of the black girls. Like I said previously, high school. SO glad to have found a normal place to work. Pretty certain, that some of the other amazon locations aren't this bad.

Mandatory overtime (good money, VERY tiring), long hours, slightly micromanaged, hard to keep numbers up, short breaks with little time to get to them (where break rooms are), easy to get terminated (just about anything), must be VERY careful with clocking in and out
