What It's like Inside an Amazon Fulfillment Center
  1. Safety. Your safety is important to us, so we provide protective gear. All teams share safety tips daily.
  2. Surroundings. You’ll be working around moving machines – order pickers, stand-up forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts.
  3. Activity. Some activities may require standing in one place for long periods, walking around, or climbing stairs.
  4. Temperature. Even with climate controls, temperatures can vary between 60°F and 90°F in some parts of the warehouse; on hot days, temparatures can be over 90°F in the truck yard or inside trailers.
  5. Noise level. It can get noisy at times. We provide hearing protection if you need it.
  6. Dress code. Relaxed with a few rules to follow for safety. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required. Depending on the role or location, Amazon provides a $110 Zappos gift code towards the purchase of shoes, in order to have you prepared for your first day on the job.
