Job Description:

Amazon Grocery Fresh Associate

Job Overview

You’ll be part of the Amazon grocery team that supports one of Amazon’s busiest services: online grocery orders. It’s similar to a shopper role, except that 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. Amazon Fresh offers customers everything from cereal to ice cream to fresh flowers, so you’ll be preparing orders for customers, 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
  6. Communicate directly with customers both verbally and in writing
You’ll also need to be able to:
  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 you can buy on Amazon Fresh – including meat and alcohol
What It's like Inside an Amazon Fresh 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 refrigerated and freezer spaces (as low as -10°F) for up to two hours of your shift, with short breaks every 30 minutes. 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.
Why You’ll Love this Job
  1. Stay busy. You and your team are engaged the entire shift.
  2. Schedule flexibility. Full-time (40 hours), reduced-time (30-36 hours) or part-time (20 hours), depending on location, and be open to working extra hours.
  3. Shift options. Work when it works for you – including overnight, early mornings, day, evenings, and weekends. Choose shifts right from your own mobile device.
  4. Anytime Pay. You can instantly cash out up to 70% of your earnings immediately after your shift (for select employee groups). Learn more about Anytime Pay.
  5. Career Development. We have made a pledge to upskill our employees and offer a variety of free training and development programs, and we also have tuition reimbursement options for select employee groups. See where your Amazon journey can take you.
  6. Free training. We’ll teach you how to drive power industrial trucks and how to work with the latest technology.
  7. Team environment. Work on small or large teams that support each other.
