Brutal life working in Amazon warehouse

Re:Brutal life working in Amazon warehouse by nemo3141 on Monday November 27, 2017 @05:27PM (#15792200)

I recently started working as a associate full-time at a large warehouse in US. I have a college degree and have worked as a junior Front End Developer in the past but my work permit expires next year so I stopped looking for a "real" job. I can answer any questions you guys might have as I don't thing there are any warehouse associates to answer directly in this thread.

I don't have any questions, because I'm in more or less the same situation - working at an Amazon FC to pay off my programming degree because it's more stable than trying to get a job in tech right now.

But... don't look too closely at the internal tools like the stow app or bintools. You'll weep.

I don't know what those are. I have been working as a packer mostly and our place has a minimum of 200 items per hour.

Ok. I've been stowing, decanting and problem solving so I've used them. Never mind then.
