Amazon Grocery Warehouse Associate

Job Overview

You’ll be part of the Amazon grocery team that supports one of Amazon’s busiest services: online grocery orders. You’ll be working in a grocery warehouse, but it’s not like our other bigger buildings, it’s more like the size of a grocery store. Customers can choose everything from cereal to ice cream to fresh flowers, so you’ll be preparing orders, working in different environments – including refrigerated and freezer spaces for part of your shift. It can be cold, but we’ll provide you with the right gear to stay warm.

Duties & Responsibilities

Some of your duties may include

  1. Prepare grocery orders for delivery
  2. Use technology like computers, smartphones, manage apps, and scan bar codes
  3. Intake new grocery inventory and put away
  4. Check for order quality
  5. Rotate tasks throughout the week

You will also need to be able to do:

  1. Lift up to 49 pounds
  2. Work in temperatures as low as -10°F and up to 90°F for extended periods
  3. Stand, walk, push, pull, squat, bend, and reach during shifts
  4. Use carts, dollies, hand trucks, and other gear to move items around
  5. Go up and down stairs (where applicable)
  6. Handle a variety of products – including pork, other meats, and alcohol

What it’s like inside an Amazon Grocery Warehouse

  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. You’ll work in freezer spaces — as low as -10°F — for up to two hours of your shift with short breaks every 30 minutes or you’ll work in the refrigerated spaces. You’ll be provided with proper safety gear and training.
  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 and protective safety footwear are required in select business units. 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.
