About the position

As an Amazon Grocery Warehouse Associate, you will be an integral part of the Amazon grocery team, supporting one of the company's busiest services: online grocery orders. This position is located in a grocery warehouse that is designed to resemble the size of a grocery store, providing a unique working environment. You will be responsible for preparing grocery orders for delivery, which includes a wide range of products from cereal to ice cream and fresh flowers. Your role will involve working in various environments, including refrigerated and freezer spaces, where temperatures can drop as low as -10°F. To ensure your comfort and safety, Amazon provides the necessary gear to keep you warm during your shifts. Your daily responsibilities will include using technology such as computers and smartphones to manage apps and scan barcodes, as well as intaking new grocery inventory and ensuring it is properly stored. Quality control is also a key aspect of your role, as you will need to check for order quality and rotate tasks throughout the week to maintain efficiency and productivity.

You will also be required to handle a variety of products, including meat and alcohol, and navigate stairs where applicable. Safety is a top priority at Amazon, and you will be provided with protective gear and training to ensure a safe working environment. You will work around moving machines, including order pickers and forklifts, and may experience a noisy environment, for which hearing protection is available. The dress code is relaxed, but safety rules must be followed, including wearing comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Depending on your role, Amazon may provide a $110 Zappos gift code to help you purchase the appropriate footwear for your first day. Amazon offers a variety of schedules to fit different lifestyles, including full-time, reduced-time, and part-time options, with the possibility of working additional hours if needed. Shift options are flexible, allowing you to choose from overnight, early morning, day, evening, and weekend shifts, including the possibility of four-day workweeks. Additionally, Amazon provides an innovative payment option called Anytime Pay, which allows you to cash out up to 70% of your earnings immediately after your shift for select employee groups. Overall, this position offers a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic team in a modern warehouse environment, with a focus on safety, teamwork, and career advancement.
