Package Handler
June - August 2023 • Middletown, PA
What I liked
"I enjoyed the physical aspect of the job and staying active throughout the day. It also gave me a sense of accomplishment to efficiently handle packages and contribute to the smooth operation of deliveries."
What I wish was different
"While I found the job rewarding in many ways, I wish the working hours had been more predictable. Sometimes, the shifts were quite variable, which made it challenging to plan other aspects of my life. Additionally, improvements in communication between shifts and management could have made the experience even better."
Advice
"One piece of advice I'd share is to invest in comfortable and supportive footwear. The job involves a lot of standing and moving around, so having good shoes can make a significant difference in your comfort and overall experience."

Automation Intern
June 2023 • Mahwah, NJ
What I liked
I liked the onboarding process I got to learn what tools we use and how we use them in a timely and digestible manner.
What I wish was different
I wish it was more specific on to which department I am going into, for example I got into storage solutions, but the posting was very vague and just said IT Intern.
Advice
I'd say to ask a lot of questions and get into as many one on ones as possible. Just to learn and if you can grab the lead of your team then that would be ideal. Working closely with an architect leader would also be great. But in general, asking questions and keeping in the mindset that you are here to learn, and to learn as much as possible.

Loader
July - August 2022 • Columbus, OH
What I liked
Relaxed work environment, and a somewhat enjoyable job for those who like physical activity. Shifts went by quickly because you could listen to music and for the most part were left alone to your trailers for the majority of your shift.
What I wish was different
Was moved a couple times to work as a floor sweep even though that wasn't really my hired position. Working as a floor sweep was more strenuous for me than being a loader, but I understand the move for a couple days because it was Amazon Prime Week and the warehouse was especially busy.
Advice
If you can make it past the first two weeks then the job is probably a decent fit for you.
