Warehouse Stocker
June - August 2019 • Stockton, CA
What I liked
I liked being guaranteed my hours every night! And I like being able to work with a set team of other associates so that I had an idea of how each night would be.
What I wish was different
I wish we had more time for breaks because we technically had 15 minutes but it took about 6 minutes to get across the warehouse and you have to spend that amount of time coming back too so the typical break only lasted about 3-5 minutes.
Advice
It’s a great place to work at as a summer job. I was able to make and save a lot of money very fast giving me the freedom of choosing whether I want to work or not during the school year so I can focus on classes and extracurriculars.

Warehouse employee
June - September 2019 • Troutdale, OR
What I liked
They give a lot of hours and pay weekly. It was the perfect summer job if you're looking to save a good amount of money.
What I wish was different
There is not a lot of opportunity to take time off. You work 40+ hours per week and I would have liked a little more time to go on a trip with my friends
Advice
The job involves a lot of standing, walking, and lifting which is important to know before applying. It is not the most glamorus job but I can get through it knowing that I will only be there for a few months.

Fulfillment Associate
July - August 2019 • Denver, CO
What I liked
The money was nice and so were my coworkers
What I wish was different
The supervisors were rude and disrespectful. There was little to no safety regulation, forcing one person to carry team lift boxes or lift 50+ pound boxes above our heads. Turnstiles were used “for security” but side doors were propped open daily. Van drivers were creepy and tried to hit on me. I was rarely paid fully on time. I could feel my soul die every time I entered this building.
Advice
Don’t work here.

What I liked
Coworkers, friendly environment
What I wish was different
Hours worked. There were 10 hour days Tuesday- Friday and overtime was mandatory. Sometimes there were 50-60 hr weeks.
Advice
Definitely opened my eyes to stay in school. Working in a warehouse isn’t something I want to do for the rest of my life. When August came around and it was time to go back to school I was excited.

Area Manager Intern
June - August 2019 • Las Vegas, NV
What I liked
Everyone I worked with was very helpful and I was able to learn a lot. I also worked 4, 10 hour days, and had 3 day weekends every week.
What I wish was different
I often went around 7 hours without taking any break to eat or rest my feet. If I wasn't in a leadership role during my shift I often felt obsolete and was thrown into manual labor roles.
Advice
Take a tour of the site before you accept, and understand that it will be rewarding if you want to put in the work, but that working in a warehouse is very hard work.
