Amazon Warehouse Worker
About the position
As an Amazon Fulfillment Center Warehouse Associate, you will be an integral part of the team responsible for preparing customer orders. This role is fast-paced and physical, taking place in various areas of the warehouse, including merchandise handling, make-on-demand services, customer returns, Prime Now, and general fulfillment. Your primary duties will involve selecting, packing, and shipping orders, including those for our expedited delivery service that promises delivery in two hours or less. You will be expected to receive and put away inventory, prepare customer orders for shipment, and load boxes onto trucks. Additionally, you will utilize scanners to read bar codes on products and follow prompts on screens to complete tasks efficiently. Troubleshooting issues and ensuring that products meet quality standards will also be part of your responsibilities. In this role, you will operate powered industrial trucks (PIT), such as forklifts and pallet drivers, and may work at heights of up to 40 feet. Training and certification for equipment operation will be provided at no cost. Physical requirements include the ability to lift up to 49 pounds, push utility carts weighing up to 60 pounds, and perform various movements such as standing, walking, pushing, pulling, squatting, bending, and reaching throughout your shifts. You may also need to navigate stairs and work at heights on a mezzanine, depending on your specific role. Safety is a top priority at Amazon, and you will be provided with protective gear and safety training. The work environment includes moving machinery, and you will be expected to adhere to strict safety, quality, and fulfillment production standards. The temperature in the warehouse can vary, and you may experience noise levels that require hearing protection. The dress code is relaxed, but safety footwear is mandatory in certain areas, and Amazon offers a $110 Zappos gift code to help you purchase appropriate shoes for your first day.
