Did you get hired by Amazon? If so, you might be eligible for health insurance through Amazon. They do offer health insurance (and many other benefits) to seasonal workers after 90 days of employment. They do have a minimum in regards to hours worked to be eligible for benefits, so you may want to look into that.
YEs, I am hired but I am not sure if I will be able to survive the 3 day 10.5 hour per day training marathon. I guess we will see. I havent worked in 10 years. I start training next Wednesday.
People say its a hard job. I’ll find out if its true, I suppose.
No, while both Amazon distribution centers and warehouses are part of Amazon’s logistics network, they serve different purposes: Amazon distribution centers handle receiving, sorting, and moving goods in bulk, while Amazon fulfillment centers (also known as warehouses) handle the final stages of order fulfillment, including picking, packing, and shipping directly to customers.
DCs are hubs in the supply chain where products are received from suppliers and then distributed to retail stores or other fulfillment centers.
Focus:
They focus on receiving, sorting, and moving goods in bulk quantities.
Storage:
They keep products for longer periods, acting as large storage units for Amazon, and they are not typically involved in shipping products directly to consumers.
Example:
When suppliers’ products arrive at Amazon, they go to a Distribution Center where workers check everything that comes in and sort it out, organizing the products based on where they need to go next.
Amazon Fulfillment Centers (FCs) / Warehouses:
Function:
FCs are large warehouses where Amazon receives, stores, picks, packs, and ships customer orders.
Focus:
They handle the final stages of order fulfillment, including picking, packing, and shipping directly to customers.
Storage:
They hold products for a shorter period, as they are focused on processing and shipping orders quickly.
Example:
Amazon fulfillment centers are massive warehouses where Amazon receives products from their sellers.
