Messenger

October 2017 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I was delivering amazon packages on foot throughout New York City, from Downtown Manhattan to up north as far as Inwood. For someone who is new to the city, it was an amazing experience to roam around, see the city, know the various areas, understand how the transportation works, got used to the city and best of all I got paid.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have had the opportunity to continue there. Due to personal reasons I had to move out of the dorm so I couldn't continue anymore. The job was amazing. My fellow colleagues used to complain about a lot of stuff but I took everything positively and it turned out to be one of the best semi-jobs I ever did.

Advice

Even if you have been in this city for years, it will still amaze you. So go out and explore. And also, please try to be nice to delivery guys, have been through a few rough patches to quickly deliver as much as I could so, just don't pour the city's anger on them.

What I liked

I liked that the managers tried to make the best of the work for us. They encouraged us always, and sometimes they would even come work with us if staff was short.

What I wish was different

The hours were long, I wish they were shorter even if it meant having to work 5 days instead of 4.

Advice

Amazon is a good place to work temporarily but for me, it’s not somewhere I would want to work for the rest of my life unless I had a higher standing position.

Sortation Associate

June - August 2018 • Baltimore, MD

What I liked

There are lots of opportunities to progress in the job if you are working hard. The managers take note of those working the hardest and will put you in other jobs constantly. You will receive higher pay if you stay for a long period of time then what you scheduled. The atmosphere is filled with people to connect with from different backgrounds. There are always opportunities to make friendships at work.

What I wish was different

More time during the break after working for a long time.

Advice

Be prepared to be on your feet for a long period of time doing possibly the same job every day. Do not slack off for a long period of time because they will take notice, if you arent working and take that very seriously. Come to work with a water bottle to stay hydrated when working. Breaks only last for so long, so do not bring a feast to eat during the break. If you start to feel unwell go to their health center, do not continue working if you get worse.
