     Posted about 6 hours    

    You’ll be part of the Amazon warehouse team that gets orders ready for customers relying on Amazon services. Our fast-paced, physical roles take place in a variety of areas including merch, make-on-demand, customer returns, Prime Now, and general fulfillment. You will be selecting, packing, and shipping orders – in some cases, for our super-fast (2-hour or less) delivery service.
    Duties & Responsibilities
    Some of your duties may include:
    • Receive and put away inventory
    • Get customer orders ready and pack them up
    • Load boxes into trucks for shipment
    • Use scanners to read bar codes on products
    • View prompts on screens and follow the direction for some tasks
    • Troubleshoot problems
    • Ensure product meets quality requirements
    • Operate power industrial trucks (PIT) such as a forklift or pallet driver, and work at heights up to 35 feet. Equipment training and certification are provided free of cost.

    All new hires will be trained on the Order Picker and must be comfortable going up 45' in the air to pick, stow, and audit inventory. Associates will move inventory using Powered Industrial Trucks.

    You'll also need to be able to:
    • Lift up to 49 pounds
    • Push utility carts up to 60 pounds
    • Stand, walk, push, pull, squat, bend, and reach during shifts

    • Adhere to strict safety, quality, and fulfillment production standards
    What it's like at an Amazon Fulfillment Center
    • Safety. Your safety is important to us, so we provide protective gear. All teams share safety tips daily.
    • Surroundings. You’ll be working around moving machines – order pickers, stand-up forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts.
    • Activity. Some activities may require standing in one place for long periods, walking around, or climbing stairs.
    • Temperature. Even with climate controls, temperatures can vary between 60°F and 90°F in some parts of the warehouse; on hot days, temperatures can be over 90°F in the truck yard or inside trailers.
    • Noise level. It can get noisy at times. We provide hearing protection if you need it.
    • Dress code. Relaxed, with a few rules to follow for safety. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required and protective safety footwear are required in select business units. Depending on the role or location, Amazon provides a $110 Zappos gift code towards the purchase of shoes, in order to have you prepared for your first day on the job.
    Why You’ll Love this Job
    • Stay busy. You and your team are engaged the entire shift.
    • Schedule flexibility. Depending on where you work, schedules may include full-time (40 hours), reduced-time (30-36 hours) or part-time (20 hours or less), all with the option of working additional hours if needed. Learn more about our schedules.
    • Shift options. Work when it works for you. Shifts may include overnight, early morning, day, evening, and weekend. You can even have four-day workweeks and three-day weekends. Find out more about our shifts.
    • Anytime Pay. You can instantly cash out up to 70% of your earnings immediately after your shift (for select employee groups). Learn more about Anytime Pay.
    • Career advancement. We have made a pledge to upskill our employees and offer a variety of free training and development programs, and we also have tuition support options for select employee groups. See where your Amazon journey can take you.
    • New skills. Depending on the role and location, you’ll learn: how to operate a garment press and high-capacity printer, a t-shirt folding machine, how to assist with the print production process, or how to receive and process customer returns.
    • Free training. Depending on the role and location, we’ll teach you how to drive power industrial trucks (PIT) such as forklifts or a pallet driver, how the printing process works, and how to work with the latest Amazon technology – including robots.
    • Team environment. Work on small or large teams that support each other.
