Time does fly and an 8 hour day feels like 5. I just wish Amazon did more to make this work more bearable for employees. It's similar to what I was doing during the pandemic (Doordash and Uber) but not having to pay gas or use my personal vehicle is a blessing. My DSP is great- I have good interactions and conversations with my managers and vibe very well with everyone in my DSP (I can be a talker) but when you only have a few minutes between punching in and getting in your van It's nice to meet new people and maybe learn something new.Īll in all I'll stick around. Not with my job, not with the work I do, but by Amazon's involvement and worker relationship. Here I am with one week under my belt (4 days of full routes) and I am somewhat disappointed. How they operate, why they aim for certain numbers, and why Amazon operates on this business model. Having no idea what DSPs are while coming in, I did lots of research. It was overwhelming at first, probably my own expectations, but I got the hang of it quickly. The same day they gave me around 40 stops to do alone. I asked a lot of questions to my coworker and that's when I truly learned what I'm up against. 90% of everything I learned from online training was irrelevant to my actual job. Amazon's online training is a waste of time and resources but at least we get paid to watch it.
