2 trainers from my team, and my job which was teaching and teach people how to drive a variety of MHE.
Management wise was terrible. Nobody helps in any way. Nobody cares about rules and people are seen as numbers. My schedule which was changed in the last minute and sometimes I had to come at work in less than 20 minutes. People getting promoted just because they know someone or they’re agreeing with the management even if it’s wrong.

Stressful, you watch the managment squeeze and squeeze to see how many people they can tell to go home for a shift then complain they lack the staff, Issues are brought up but never acknowledged or even mentioned again and are given the Mystical “We’re working on it” title. You come in to work, talk a but to colleagues, eat at the break. And go home

3 days off a week
Not much overtime
Amazon Employee, March 2022
Very flexible with hours, holidays and the pay is good when overtime is available.

Amazon Employee, December 2021
Decent money for what is essentially the easiest job ever.
Decent Benefits.
It's very repetitive and standing/walking all day can be tiring.
Long Shifts.
Very isolated, can't talk to people for a long time. Working alone.
The work is not difficult but this does make it mind numbingly boring when doing a 10 hour shift.
Managers can be bad/annoying. They nit pick, angry for small reasons, don't respond to issues well, don't follow through on things they say they will do. Depends on where you are though I guess.
