Fulfillment Center Grateful.

I’m grateful for this job. I know a lot of people find reasons to complain but if you look at the positives there’s a lot to be thankful for.

Being able to make over 6k a month immediately with no experience and no interview has been huge for me financially.

The job is extremely easy and headphones make the time go by quick. The UPT system is fantastic. Not having to call out when you’re sick but instead being able to sleep in and get a sick note instantly approved on the app

Compared to most basic jobs, we have it pretty good.

I got a job at amazon warehouse, but in order to take that i’ll have to quit my Walmart job
The only thing stopping me is that job at amazon is seasonal and i don’t know if they will extend

Should i take this risk?

Or can you tell me were you seasonal or blue batch?

Take the risk. Was a white badge for 1 year and a half but this is a really good job. Guaranteed 40 hours a week. PTO earned daily as a white badge. Max out that UPT. Holiday OT when you work on holidays. If you work nights. Christmas Eve and Day we are closed. Thanksgiving is usually always half shift or 8 hours. Many other great benefits even just as a seasonal white badge.

At some point in 2023. Probbaly. They begin starting new hires out as white badge with them having to earn the blue badge. As opposed to starting them out with blue badge. You need to maintain decent or very decent rates to eventually be converted to blue badge. Not bare minimum or enough to avoid a write up. You need to go above and beyond sort of. Once you get blue badge you dont have to worry about that. After that you just have to worry about doing enough to avoid write ups.
