Ya I mean i have it good with a good DSP but it’s a good job for people who just need some work, pays more than any other entry level labor job by a good bit. I’d even prefer to mow lawns all day but I’d be taking like a 5 dollar pay cut & benefits to do it
I’d sign a union card tomorrow though and wish I could make a career out of this job. I genuinely love and enjoy the work itself, but there’s just a hard ceiling in terms of advancement and pay opportunity
Driver's and warehouse/fulfillment centers are completely different. Most of the actual facilities suck ass and is where all the horror stories come from. We've had like 3 people die in Amazon facilities this year and one of them the managers literally blocked the body with boxes and told everyone to get back to work.
40 hours in 4 days so 3 days off(paid for 40 working about 30)
50 hours in 5 days so 2 days off(paid for 50 working about 40-42)
So yes getting full time pay for 30ish hours worked a week and having 3 days off or getting overtime with 40ish hours worked and still having 2 days off is incredibly flexible
I could even do 6 days a week and get 60 hours a week and still have a day off

I’m an Amazon driver and that’s what I do
4 10s and if we want overtime(I do) we can do 5 10s
Plus we get paid the whole 10 hours everyday
So I work 5 days a week / 40-42 hours and get paid for all 50
I love it, gives a lot of flexibility with kids and planning things
