Good luck - I remember some bad press about them last year - they're going to make you work hard for your money.

Hope you are prepared to work very hard. Around this time last year they were in the papers alot for how they treat their employees. In fact there was a huge thread on here about that I think.

Still have fun and more money can't hurt can it!

All the best tim! Its hard work mate and you'll always be on the go. My Mrs work colleague has a son who worked there and he only lasted there a week. He said it was too much hard work. Bleeding slacker!

Re: got a job at amazon

Forget all the comments about it being hard work, as you said it is batter than signing on every week. Any job is better than no job and working hard will only make you appreciate you next job better. The hardest job I ever had was a summer job loading sacks of coffee beans into trucks for national delivery. That was tough but I stuck it out because it was better than nothing.
Good luck and well done.

Re: got a job at amazon

Nothing wrong with a job being hard work. Better to have a busy job where time flies by rather than being bored stiff all day. Let us know how it works out for you mate.

Funnily enough I start a new job on Monday too. The company I'm going to work for are planing on opening a site in Llansamlet in January. If all goes well and they get the unit they want I'll PM you once they start recruiting. Lol you might have to work with me though!

Re: got a job at amazon

Hey all. thanks for all your replys. all orders will be taken on a first come first served basis .

will be good to be working again though cause i was slipping back to my old ways, staying up till about 3 in the morning then not getting up till midday only because there was no reason to get up.

Do not believe this as I was typing this out I just got a phonecall for an interview monday afternoon will try to get to it becuase it is a perminent position as far as perminent goes these days.
