Fulfillment Center Warehouse Associate(Kent)-New
Join the Amazon team as an 'entry level' Warehouse Associate at one of our state-of-the-art Fulfillment Centers! This is your chance to start a career with a global leader in e-commerce and logistics. 'No experience' is necessary – we provide comprehensive paid training for all new hires. About Amazon: Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are a diverse and inclusive employer with hundreds of thousands of employees worldwide. Your Role as a Fulfillment Center Associate: You are at the heart of the Amazon customer promise. In this fast-paced, physical role, you will be responsible for receiving inventory, stowing products, picking customer orders using scanners, packing boxes, and shipping them out. This role involves working with technology and machinery in a large, dynamic warehouse environment. Your Day-to-Day: Warehouse operations run 24/7. As an 'entry level' associate, you must have open availability. Your schedule could include a 'day shift' starting early morning or a 'night shift' running overnight. Full availability for 'weekend shift' work and holidays is required. Shifts are typically 10 hours long, four days a week. You will be on your feet, walking, lifting, and moving for your entire shift. Training & Onboarding: We provide paid, on-the-job training covering safety protocols, scanning technology, and specific process paths like Stow, Pick, and Pack. You'll also receive training on operating powered industrial trucks (PIT) like order pickers or forklifts if needed for your role, including working at heights up to 40 feet. Career & Compensation: Amazon offers competitive hourly pay, with an estimated range of $18 - $23 per hour for this role, plus potential overtime and sign-on bonuses. Benefits include health insurance (medical, dental, vision) starting day one, a 401(k) with company match, paid time off, and employee discounts. Amazon also offers career advancement opportunities and programs like Career Choice for further education.
