What is Amazon Flex policy around taking breaks?

None none none none! Don’t do it don’t do it! Uber Lyft door dash Instawork a sales position all better. The pay is nottttttttt their and the extra money your hoping to make will be used for gas, new tires and new breaks. The only reason their real employees deal with this crap is because they get other benefits like laid schooling etc I hate it so much I stop Amazon drivers when I see them and see how they like their job they all hate! They say stuff like no I don’t like it but they’re paying for my school so I deal with it. I feel that and it can be a little more worth it when running their car to the ground and using their gas.

Everything they over work you the pay is Absolute beep beep beep you never get ahead you work basically to put gas in your car by the time you get some extra money your check engine light turns on you need new tires You need new brakes absolutely not worth it. They barely pay you gas time mileage you’re getting $15 an hour if that McDonald’s pays more it’s hard work Delivering to apartments is terrible delivering in downtown cities is terrible. You don’t have a choice of what hours you wanna work you don’t have a choice of what cities you want to drive to. They’ll send you an hour away from the station and you can already live an hour away from the station you’ll end up two hours away from home , they give you a three hour shift, but give you five hours worth of packages and then when you return the packages you couldn’t finish because they gave you 50 packages to deliver in three hours. They mark it against you and threaten you deactivation. They don’t stick to their end of the bargain. If someone is booking a two hour shift you get to the warehouse they give you a block 50 packages for two hours, and you can’t refuse it without penalty. you are 100% not an independent contractor. That’s just a word they use. You have no control over your shift. You’re fighting for shifts. You cannot plan your day or schedule your day because you never know if you’re gonna get a shift the next day if you’re gonna be able to work what time you’re gonna be able to book a shift because when you’re trying to get a shift you’ll take any shift even the ones you don’t want because that’s all they Have so really you can’t schedule your own life your basically on call with Amazon flex and I’m level 3 which means i’m supposed to get preferred scheduling that’s cap they mean preferred by Amazon

Full training, flexibility, great and friendly environment

Overload, too short breaks, and part time

You get paid every week

Very intense Breaks are recommended but unrealistic

Flexible working days due to workers being self-employed Company vehicle and fuel provided Efficient loading processes Free cereal and coffee within the depot Fairly decent wage if bonus is included

System designed to punish drivers, if you complete the route too fast, more items will be added for the next driver making some routes unbearable. Long working hours, usually without breaks to get all the stops complete on time. Flex app has improved over the years but for such a big corporation it's extremely poor overall.

Good pay, flexible hours, introvert friendly

fast paced, management always on your time, breaks are counted from when you walk to the break room and back

set your own hours , decent pay

short breaks long shifts long drives gps

Multiple breaks clean working conditions free hot beverages

Cold working, extreme supervision to even use the loo

I was paid 13.50/hour for the night shift, I'm a night owl so I thought it would be a good position for me, and there was free tea and coffee available in the break room.

If you needed to go to the bathroom while you were working on any of the conveyer belts, you needed to find someone to cover your position, if you couldn't you couldn't go to the bathroom until your next break, which could be in 3 hours time but you've just had a drink on your last break, because even though drinks are allowed on the warehouse floor in a sealed container you can't stop sorting for even a second before it all starts to pile up and then you are racing to get all your parcels sorted so that you can get back to a rhythm and then its piled up so much that the conveyer belt has done an emergency stop and all the alarms are going off and everyone is wondering what's happened...all because you had some water. It is expected that you sort 200 parcels per hour on average and for an 8-10 hour shift that's around 1,400-1,800 parcels per shift. The last 2ish hours of the shift are for getting the trolleys ready to load onto the vans which means everyone running around with a trolley getting bags off of shelves that are taller than you and swinging them to the side so you don't drop it on your own head but possibly hitting someone else in the process. You can't choose the bags you get as it is assigned by the zebra so you can't go down one aisle you have to go all over the warehouse floor.

Flexibility is great with any job

Bots continue to take the good blocks. Support isn't supportive. Pay is low in comparison to gas prices and miles the routes are. Most of the time 3 hour blocks are overloaded and end up taking 4 hours and you also get penalized for taking longer than the 3 hours and because you're already running behind don't drink anything because bathroom breaks are just going to put you further behind.

Flexible shifts. Full Day's work

Easily overworked, Long 12 hour shifts, Leaves you exhausted. There is no linear growth in the company. No incentives. No pay increase.
