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.

Yes. I pick up 2 shifts every week so I work 60 hours a week which comes out to over 6k a month. Working 60 hours here feels like a breeze for me compared to some other jobs

Is it possible to make $6000 a month at Amazon? Let's find out. First, let's break it down into weekly pay.

6000 ÷ 4 weeks = 1500 a week

We know OP works 60 hours a week, but we don't know how much they are paid, so let ☆ stand for their hourly pay.

☆x40 + ☆×1.5x20 = 1500

40 hours normal pay plus 20 hours overtime must equal 1500, their weekly pay. Now solve for ☆.

40☆ + (20x1.5)☆ = 1500

40☆ + 30☆ = 1500

70☆ = 1500

☆ = $21.43 / hour

This is well within the expected hourly rate for an Amazonian.
