A few weeks ago I posted an article about finding work as the spouse of a traveling nurse . Today I saw on the news that Amazon is hiring 70,000 seasonal workers at their warehouse facilities across the U.S. It just so happens that I worked at an Amazon warehouse during one of Stasha's six month contracts in Carlisle, PA. Here's my experience as a seasonal worker at Amazon.
My first day of work I was a little intimidated when I walked through the front doors only to find locking floor-to-ceiling turnstiles. It honestly felt like I was visiting southwest airline ticket fares what I imagine a prison to look like. I would soon learn that all employees are issued a badge that unlocks the turnstiles.

During my five months I actually witnessed southwest airline ticket fares two employees terminated for violating this rule.

I decided to start wearing Stasha southwest airline ticket fares s Fitbit to work to keep track of just how many miles I was racking up each 10 hour shift. I was a little shocked when I got the results. The Fitbit is a pedometer that gives you online access to your walking history for the life of the device. Here are my results:
The numbers pretty much tell the story. Despite required stretches at the beginning of every shift and after lunch, there s not much you can do for sore feet. After almost every shift I felt like I had walked the soles right off my shoes and was starting to wear my feet down to nubs. My job was to take carts full of merchandise and randomly store them in bins throughout the factory, southwest airline ticket fares logging which bin I had stowed them in with a scanner. southwest airline ticket fares There were lots of other jobs that didn t require that much walking but I would say maybe 25-35% of the jobs do. Other jobs involved operating forklifts, lifting and loading, unloading, packing and wrapping.
So if you re the spouse of a traveling nurse and your e looking for a temporary job this holiday season, now is the time Amazon starts to ramp up their seasonal southwest airline ticket fares hiring. If you don t mind hard work, the people are great and it s an opportunity to make new friends and some extra cash for Christmas. southwest airline ticket fares And to the workers at 21 Roadway Drive in Carlisle, Pennsylvania thanks for having me and for some great memories.
