Cyber Monday at Amazon's 1 million square-foot fulfillment center in DuPont, Wash.

Ғылым және технология

Greg Zielinski, general manager of the Amazon Fulfillment Center in DuPont, Wash., gives GeekWire a first-hand look at how Amazon fulfills orders during its busiest shopping day of the year. The enormous 1 million-square-foot facility uses a combination of advanced robotics and humans to bring packages to your doorstep.

    Biggest challenge is getting your humans to pick 400 pieces an hour

    I worked at a fulfillment center in Illinois for 7 months at night. The most depressing experience I ever had working. Write ups were a joke. I got write ups for 6 errors out of 3000 counts. I was a counter. Once I got off of one write up, I was put on another. I tried to stay off of write ups so that I could change my job or get promoted to something else. It was impossible. When I started I saw my regular people at the breaks in the break rooms...after a few months I noticed those who stayed, started wearing braces and arm wraps etc... People were walking around injured from repetitive stress issues. I saw one poor person walk around and work in one of those "skiboots" foot casts. Amazon does not let anyone take enough time off to physically recuperate. After repeatedly not getting promoted for anything else, and getting constant write ups....I was happy I found another job. Horrible work environment.

    Have worked at Amazon for 8 months as an order picker. I am 63 yrs old, mostly working for the insurance coverage that begins on your first day. Costs me $50 per wk for wife & I to get full medical & dental coverage and life insurance. Very tough job for some, non-stop walking for 12 hr shift. Lost 35 lbs in first 6 weeks. Very high turnover. Had 165 new hires start with 150 of them quitting within a few days. Sounds easy to just "walk" for 12 hrs until you have to do it for consecutive days keeping up a 100 pc per hr pick rate. Overall a good company, lots of rules but easy to follow for a mature person.

    I don’t know exactly how you guys pick or picked at Amazon but normally you’d be on an order/cherry picker with fatigue mats. However truth be told, picking is not a 60 yr old mans game, it’s intended for younger entry level workers who want to establish a foundation in supply chain.
