Whats it like to work in a warehouse user?

Monotonous. But the funnest times I had at work was when I was younger in a warehouse, being there was so unlike my college campus. You could say so much shit as long as it wasn't a threat and your numbers/rates were good. Good exercise too
Temp agencies will get you in in some places if the direct to hire/HR aspect isn't in place.
You can get really short shifts sometimes but long ones in peak. I liked the paycheck but the 55 hours a week got to me after a bit. Always learn equipment and/or the software system. To avoid massive monotony keep crosstraining to other departments. I sure as hell would want it as a career but it was decent work/money

They pay me $12.25 per hour. The .25 was from a piddly raise that I got last year.

Also, they might try and make you sign a document that says you can't discuss your payment with anyone. You can feel to sign and then ignore it, because it is against the law to suppress wage talk amongst those who legally qualify as employees.

Op here
I walked into a temp agency and they nearly hired me on the spot

They'll take anyones that's breathing

I love my job driving forklift and staking boxes and things like that i have been doing for 7 years now and i still like it and we have a lot of fun with pranks and shit at work.
I make about 15/h
And 5 weeks payed weekation
4 in summer and 1 in the winter

Mind numbingly boring but you can have a good laugh with the folks you work with

Felons, people with shizo and personality disorders, people with low impulse control. And just fucking weiros. On third shift it's even funnier.
I loved being around most of them they were hilarious/interesting. I saw a born again Christian turn into a raging slut and a woman with a personality disorder that kept fighting another crazy woman for the same inbred hick. We couldn't use nicknames after there was almost a multiperson brawl over the offensive/racist nicknames we got. The guy Wetback nicknamed a guy with no neck "Turtle" which doesn't make sense since everyone but these retards knew turtles have necks but it still almost turned into a fight in the unloading dock.
Protip: work at a beauty / make up/ women's clothing center that gives free (damaged) products out, you get attractive young women in.

I listen to podcasts and audiobooks all day,but i genuinely find it fun,but its ofc different from place to place how things work

IDK about rest but amazon is great
Monotonous job, best wage for unskilled worker on the market, 10 h workday, medcare, after half year school program (for new skills)
In EU you often have whole night brakes if there is no ship or intake, 2 times cash for nightshift, 2 times for overhours, 4 times if those 2 combine, music for last 2 hours of shift. good meal in decent price, 15% bonus if you don't take sick days and your hall has a decent rate, 1 hour of brakes douring shift.

Workflow is a bit of shitshow in terms of personel but it is menagable,

Also 44 days of payed leave for a year (1,5 x hourly wage if you dont spend it)

Niggers

And jews
Don't forget the jews

Nah, just nasty, dindu nuffin niggers. Jews realize that they couldn’t even drive a forklift.

I know of many people including personal friends who have worked in Amazon and they have all told me the same horror stories. Picking items are all timed ,you have a few seconds to get from one place to the next and if you do not make it withing your scanner guns time limit you will get a warning, amazon works on a three strike warning and they often treat people like shit , if you have a sick day you are pretty much fucked, my mate broke his leg and they basically told him not not come back.

There is only 1 break through out the entire shift and its duration is only 30minutes, in this time you have to walk a long way from where your working to get to the canteen, so far in fact that people on break leave 10 minutes earlier just to make it back to their work station on time.

All this is within the UK , i have no idea what its like overseas , here in the UK someone applied for a job there and worked undercover using a secret camera to record everything , theres a youtube video about it , you can find it by searching "amazon uk watchdog" undercover.

agreed.... I drove forklift in a cannery for about a year, I remember one afternoon a male co-worker approached me and ask if I would work on the other side of the warehouse away from him. I asked him why, his response was" I've been awake for 48 hours on a Coke Bender, I hate to do something stupid and get you killed".....I took his advice and stayed the fuck away from him

if you have a decent menager not one pushing limit to be broken each week you dont have hard times for pic/stow

In system you have 5 minutes from brake end till you have to log in you WS (that is enough time to get back even from cig)

UK amazon tends to fit local job market if your offer is shit that mean they are not short on workers

>Jeff Bezos detected

I've seen it
South park made a parody episode

Amazon employees said it was dead on accurate

Don’t work graveyard shift. I’ve been doing graveyard for god knows how long and I have no time to do shit during the day

It's exactly like the movie Employe Of The Month starring Dame Cook & Jessica Simpson

I work in a warehouse for specialty building material (mostly tyvek) and I get $16/hr to drive a golf cart and pull orders for about 8-10 hours. I started at $15.00 and they bumped me after a 6 months to $16.00
It's pretty easy work too 3 breaks a day everyone is pretty friendly. Also 2 of my buddies from high school work here to so it's even better. Good luck user and know your worth if you can drive forklift without having to be trained ask for more money

It really depends on the company, what job you were going for, and their respective SOPs. Working as a forklift driver will be wildly different from working as a loader or somebody doing inventory.

The biggest store in the country. The one every town in the southeast has. I work at their dc. Pick boxes, make around 22 an hour. It's a job to keep for a few years, til you figure something better out. A lot of guys think 20 an hour, but you will be hurting when you're old if you stay there an extended time. People are pretty good there.

Where do you work where you can listen to something?

>2 times cash for nightshift
Fuck off mine was a $1 per hour differential. You make x2 as my ch per hour?

>if you have a sick day you are pretty much fucked, my mate broke his leg and they basically told him not not come back.
Yeah that's one issue I had with them.
>All this is within the UK , i have no idea what its like overseas
Same. US, Canada, and UK are freakishly similiar

Man so many of them really can't function in normal society. We had a lot of hermits.

You get a gulf cart for picking? We stay in a small hallway with a boxing system we push by hand
That's retarded I want a golfcart

>x2 as much per hour?
Sorry thumb was almost broken I type like shit

Yeah but this place is huge used to be an old produce warehouse before we came in

I worked at a warehouse for 5 years with retarded, lazy niggers that did the bare minimum. Physicality wise, if you don't have proper form or not strength, kiss your back goodbye.
The pay was shit and when I was promoted to warehouse supervisor it was still shit.

Managers were all lazy and didn't want to hear about ways on improving a dusty, rundown warehouse.

Since I was working with lazy niggers, some of them couldn't do basic math or never developed critical thinking skills. Hell, some didn't even wipe their ass after taking a shit.

Get a forklift license and look for a dock.

My wife and I work at a small town factory. We've both worked there for about 6 years. She became a qc clerk and I became lead operator after a year. 4 years later, she's assistant quality manager 2nd shift and I'm shift supervisor. We both make about 45k a year and the company fucking loves our team dynamic so sometime in the next year, they're making a 2nd shift qc manager position just for her. 2nd shift at our plant is 2p to mindnigt, 4 days a week. Since we are salary, we basically work 12 hrs a day, but it's the same shift and we both have 3 day weekends. We are currently up to three weeks vacation every year too since we just hit our 5 year. The company is growing, almost doubled in size last two years, and the locale is great. Cheap everything, just enough to do and a very solid job.

OH, forgot to add, this is a packaging warehouse with some small assembly positions. No chems or dangerous shit to worry about.

In my experience working at WAXIE

Shit falls down, you are at the bottom of the bottom, warehouse employees are treated like shit, shit wages, shit hours. Shit holidays. Shit vacations...

Work you way up out of warehouse... I have seen people burn 30+ years of their life’s on dead end jobs, driving pickers and fork lifts... and entry employee on a office job can make a few dollars more and they get to work on better conditions

Salesmen are superior to their warehouse counterpart

I started on 30k in a warehouse and went to sales starting 45k, 70k, 100k now I’m on 120k.

Did it and it sucked.

Who would deny this? I turn my warehouse guys into new salesman. Learn the product first in the warehouse, if you are smartish, reliable and relatively personable, you can come in side.

Warehouse starts at 13.20, Warehouse manager makes 15-18/hr depending

Sales basically starts at 30k, but if you are actually goign to stay in the job, minimum you are going to make is 45k with commish.

Not a bad deal, IMO. Course we dont have any benefits.

In houston, the summer can be particularly brutal in an un air conditioned wh such as mine. If you can count, and are willing to keep up a decent work rate, not so bad.

21 at the time, worked at Wal-Mart for 2 years as a truck unloader/Stocker. Had to move to a new city and find a new job.

When I got to the new city, the best place I could find was a warehouse position. So I applied , thinking that it couldn't be too different from what I did at walmart.

It was the worst experience of my life.

>Constantly on the top floor of an unventialted, uncooled building
>Constantly lifting 60 pound items above my head to put them on racks
>3 breaks (two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch) but by the time you got to the breakroom, it was already time to head back
>Everyone I worked with were all 40+ year old people that had been there for years, so was treated like shit
>10 hour days with mandatory overtime
>When you got home, you were too tired to do anything but sleep

I eventually just stopped showing up after 3 weeks. I would've rather spent an extra week finding a job that wouldn't result in a life altering injury than spend another day there.

Think carefully about what you really want user. I guarantee you the money isn't worth it in the long run.

My warehouse is fucking pathetic, suburban company near Philadelphia, we have like 5 buildings, management is dogshit and clueless, turnovers are constant, but replacing the employees who leave takes for ever.
Pay is dogshit too, I've made more money working side jobs per pay than I have at this whs lmao.

If you're in need of a job they'll fuckin hire you, but expect to be treated like shit till you join their good ole boys clique.

>I have seen people burn 30+ years of their life’s on dead end jobs, driving pickers and fork lifts

speaking from experience, these guys usually have something that keeps them there.

1. drug addiction
2. inability to be humble/ shitty attitude
3. lack of communication skills
