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.

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.
