it's easier to find work while you are working than when you are unemployedThere is a distribution center near me. They are ALWAYS hiring which means a big turn over.
it's easier to find work while you are working than when you are unemployed But that's in IT. They may be okay for other lines of work.
Everyone needs a job! If it sucks, find another job. We have one in our town and many work there. I’ve heard it’s hard work, but benefits are decent. I’d go for it if I needed a job or a change.
I agree with the ones who said try it and if you cannot stand it you can quit. Nothing lost.
My daughter started with them about eight months ago and likes it.
Take a job?
If you are on welfare, definitely not!
Are you currently working? If not I’d take it.
I haven’t worked for a Fascist since I quit the last government contract I took (many years ago now), and I don’t plan to start down that road a second time.
nope.
I don’t agree with things about Amazon (like recent story about subsidy for packages sent) and don’t want to help Amazon make any money.
what does it profit a man to gain the world yet lose his soul?
If the opportunity at Amazon is perceived to be better than where you are now, take it. It’s a job, not a marriage. If you work there a year and it turns out to be as bad as some on this thread are making it, quit and go elsewhere.
TAKE THE JOB!
From what I hear from some people I know who work for Amazon, it’s a good place to work — good environment, good salary, opportunities for those who want more responsibilities.
I would recommend checking it out and talking with them directly to find out if what they are offering fits your skills and interests and vice versa.
Good luck!
I think the supervisors under whom you are working could make or break the job...
As a Chicagoland resident, you are familiar with Coldwell Banker real estate—They are ubiquitous! I worked at 2 CB branch offices. Same job description—absolutely loved one of the offices, the other not so much (at all!)
I would consider going to interview—you are interviewing them as much as they you. Hopefully they give you a tour, and you get to meet some of the supervisory staff as well as see the working conditions, some potential colleagues, etc.
From your post, sounds like you are interested in the health benefits offered by a large corporation. If that is important, a stable company would be important. Love them or hate them, I think Amazon in some form is here for the long haul, and if you like it, you could move up.
Good luck!
You must like to walk many miles a day and be a human robot tracked all day long. You slow down and I believe they take you out back and shoot you. Just rumor mind you : )
That place gets consistent bad ratings and has a big turn over which seems to support their scary ratings. No shortage of horror stories regarding Amazon.
Even if ya only spent 6 months there, it could have been time to find something much better but instead you might miss out while being Amazons stooge.
Personal decision - sometimes company politics can’t dictate what one does for himself/his family.
Will you be working for a temp agency or Amazon?
There’s talk about Amazon building a distribution facility at the old Ford Visteon site here in Shelby Twp., MI........Great news for the area if it happens.
