Anyone work at an Amazon Fullfillment Center? I've got questions

[atlsfinest]

I recently received a job offer to be a L5 Area Manager at the Fulfillment center outside Portland. Pay is pretty good but I'm trying to get a feel for the job; does anyone work (or know anyone who works) at an Amazon Fulfillment Center? Do any of y'all know anyone whose has had this job? I'm been reaching out to people on Linkedin and read GlassDoor reviews, I'm just trying to source as much info as possible. Amazon is giving me money to move but I'm not tryna move back across the country to a job I think I'll hate.

So mentioning your salary was needed to ask that question?

Just own up to it.

I come in peace

aren’t they like one of the worst companies to work for especially when you are in the warehouse

You're gonna hate Portland more than the job.

On the plus side (at least for you), portland had to be the ace of spades capital of the US.

I used to live in Western Washington, near Seattle, so I'm used to the PNW. The gloomy weather doesn't bother me much.

Also, I'm retired from the game. I'm getting married soon so I'm not worried about smashing chicks.

Perhaps... of you're a grunt, which he clearly wouldn't be. Anyway the pay sounds good and the cost of living is probably low. I would make the move, just male sure to keep your workers happy.

Not so much the weather, portland is straight boring. Not to mention its not very diverse.

Id suggest visiting for a few days to get a feel of the vibe. Who knows, it might be your cup o tea.

Portland is actually a top 20 most expensive city to live in the US.

Bruh is about to move across the country

I would think salary is an important factor

****, tough decision. There's alot more to do in the A unless you like the outdoors. But personally I'd stay in the A based off of the downsize you'd face(unless your salary is alot more or your a home-body).

 

[mplsdunk]

I mean unless you’re broke now I wouldn’t.

It’s amazon bro...

Warehouse worker or manager they are gonna chew you up and spit you out after you get a few raises and they can pay someone less to do the same job.

 

[Mark Antony]

Comp is pretty important here considering the move, someone familiar with that area's COL should chime in. For instance that 100k wouldn't be worth it CA at all.

I have cousins that work in Amazon data centers. They seem to like it. I don't think I could do it though.

Edit:

Come to think of it, one of my cousins travels to a data center just outside of Portland from time to time. She hates it because there's nothing to do.
