Minpunten
It's easy to get a job there, but it's difficult to keep that job. The work is labor intensive and physically demanding. Associates are formally reprimanded or fired if they are unable to keep up with performance standards that are established by management. Standards include metrics such as “time-off-task” (idle time) and “hourly rates” (how fast you’re working). Management determines whether an associate meets these performance standards solely from information gathered by computers that "watch" associates while they work. Further, certain managers (and their assistants) are openly hostile towards associates that they personally dislike. Overall, the atmosphere is stress-inducing. I cannot recommend working as an Amazon warehouse associate.
