About the position

As an Amazon Sortation Center Warehouse Associate, you will be an integral part of the dedicated Amazon team that serves as the first stop on the journey from the warehouse to the customer. This role is fast-paced and physical, taking place in a sortation center where you will be responsible for sorting, scanning, and stacking packages on pallets to prepare customer orders for delivery. The position offers flexibility, allowing you to choose shifts that best fit your schedule, with the option to adjust your hours as needed in the future. Your duties will include receiving and sorting inventory, getting customer orders ready for delivery, and utilizing technology such as scanners, computers, and handheld printers. You will need to be physically capable of lifting up to 49 pounds and performing various movements such as standing, walking, pushing, pulling, squatting, bending, and reaching during your shifts. Additionally, you may be required to use carts, dollies, hand trucks, and other equipment to move items around, navigate stairs, and work at heights of up to 40 feet on a mezzanine, depending on the specific requirements of your role. At an Amazon Sortation Center, safety is a top priority. You will be provided with protective gear and will participate in daily safety briefings with your team. The work environment includes moving machines such as order pickers and forklifts, and while the temperature is controlled, it can vary between 60°F and 90°F in different areas of the warehouse. Noise levels can also be high, and hearing protection is available if needed. The dress code is relaxed, but comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required, and in some cases, Amazon provides a $110 Zappos gift code to help you purchase appropriate footwear for your first day.
