Area Manager Intern
May - July 2021 • Coppell, TX
What I liked
I was given a lot of responsibility as an intern and given the opportunity to immerse myself into an environment of learning.
What I wish was different
The training process was unorganized, and the exceptions for the interns was also unclear within the facility and varied between managers. It seemed that a lot of communication from OpsInterns was not being translated in the expectations from managers.
Advice
Build connections with as many different people as you can. They will be able to help you a lot on your project.

Area Manager Intern
May - July 2021 • Lewisville, TX
What I liked
I liked how I got to learn about operations and further my knowledge in supply chain. I was also given a lot of responsibility and autonomy, which was great because I got to make actual change within the delivery station.
What I wish was different
This shift schedule was pretty brutal (I worked 12:30 am to 10:30am), but that's just kind of the nature of Amazon operations.
Advice
Placements take a while to come out after you get hired, so be ready to wait a while. Also be prepared to work the night shift.

What I liked
The pay, the independence while on the job, coworkers

more flexible hours that could have allowed me to continue working at amazon when i returned to school for the fall semester
Advice
Applying for an amazon warehouse position requires you to be able bodied, have high tolerance for long hours and manual labor, 40+ hours a week minimum, etc. It is a time and labor consuming job that requires adjustment and high tolerance.

Area manager intern
May - July 2021 • Beaumont, CA
What I liked
The challenges I was faced with. Everyday brought a new barrier I had to over come and made me learn a lot from these experiences. I also enjoyed my managers and they were extremely helpful and showed me a lot.
What I wish was different
Some days were very unorganized. I worked at a new fulfillment center that was still getting broken into. This made some days challenging but I over came this through asking questions and being resilient even when things didn't go my way.
Advice
I would highly recommend applying to jobs out of your comfort zone. I was nervous for the job being a manager in a completely different state but ended up being the best experience of my life.

What I liked
Great location, nice offices (though there were no snacks), manager was pretty chill
What I wish was different
I would have preferred to work with my team in-person more. Also, my team was not at all diverse (in my team of 10, there was no STEM minority representation).
Advice
Reach out to team members early and often.

Jr. Developer
June 2021 • San Luis Obispo, CA
What I liked
The learning experience and all the full time devs that you work with have been super helpful.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been more open to help in the beginning. Initially I've just tried to do too much by myself without asking for help, which is different now but I wish I'd started that sooner
Advice
Get ready to learn! There's so many new things introduced that it might feel overwhelming but don't be afraid to reach out to other devs to help.
