Ok integrity, it's been over a month since you assigned and cancelled the job I was to start at Amazon Chester. Va warehouse. I'm still waiting for the check for the 2.5 hour orientation I attended. Sad I have to review you on Yelp to get your attention. My first review made you call me directly to apologize and make excuses for your lack of integrity. Now I have to expose you again, but this time skip the phone call and mail me my money. Hopefully, Integrity or Amazon can handle mailing a check to me. If not I'll do a third one star review. read more

Integrity releases employees early to avoid paying sign up bonuses at the end of their assignments. They also rehire for assignments and never call back and the number they give you is A recorded message where you can never reach a live person. So if you need to follow up on your assignment you're forced to drive or find transportation to Chester. When you finally speak with a rep you will probably get the run around, unless its peak season. The gentleman was accurate...lack of integrity read more

I went in earlier this week, was given my assignment with a start date, location and shift. I received a email today that my assignment date had been changed. You pushed my assignment date back a week, changed my location from Chester to Petersburg, and changed my whole shift from nights to mornings. No notification that this could change locations. I find it unprofessional I was assigned in one place with a set shift and everything and then you told me the only jobs open where in Petersburg. I already almost drive an hour to chester, that would increase my drive to much, I'd be working to put gas in my car. Not right guys not right. I was scheduled to begin work next week. I already went to orientation in Chester and everything. Bad bad bad....... read more

I don't have anything bad to say about Integrity Staffing. When I went there for my interview the staff was friendly and I've been paid on time. My problem isn't with Integrity. It is with the company they hire for Amazon. The next time people tell me not to go work for a company I am going to take their advice. For years I have heard nothing but bad things about Amazon and how they treat their employees and I figured well they must be bad employees. WRONG! Orientation was ok they kind of told us about our job. If I knew how I was going to be treated I would have walked out then. The first day at Amazon was ok we were shuffled from training station to training station and for the better part of the day and the next morning we were shown how to do our job. I figured this isn't hard I can do this. I was used to walking alot so that didn't bother me. Well the second day they had us by ourselves for the second half of the day. I had never picked before so it was all new to me. Well this is where I have a problem with Amazon. Amazon gives you 0 time to learn the aisles and where every thing is and doesn't give you time to adjust and learn. They want you up to speed the second you hit that floor. No learning curve no time to learn the floor. Then they have a really messed up way of doing things. They have different sections and some sections you have to find because they are out of the way or you have to find them. First they give you a scanner with your item pick list on it. You start out on a floor and they give you a few items in a section then they give you an item all the way down the other end of the aisle to pick then you have to come all the way back then go halfway back to where you were. So basically instead of saying you are going to be in this section for today you have to run around the whole building trying to find an item. Then the whole time you have to have to beat the bar on the scanner which goes down pretty fast. Then in the middle of picking they send you to another floor which they don't compensate for as far as time goes. Then they want you to keep a 75 pct avg. Which is basically impossible. See Amazon doesn't understand there are going to be times you have to look for an item or take time to get to a location or run up a floor or two to get to a pick. They want you to pick one item every 45 seconds. 75 picks an hour. So in essence there are 60 minutes in an hour so even at 60 you would still have to pick one a minute. Including running all the way from one end of the building to another, running up and down stairs, break, lunch etc. Then if you don't meet the 75 pct you have all these people taking up the time you could be using to pick by wanting to stand there and talk you to death about your production while standing there wasting your time. Then they want to write you up and make you sign papers for every little thing. I did more standing there having a conversation about why my production was down than actually being able to do my job. The people who run Amazon are clueless when it comes to picking. It would make more sense to keep people in a section for a week or two so they can learn it than on their second day being sent from one floor to another. The right way to do it would be to keep the new hires in a section for a few days then move them to another section then another instead of have them run around clueless about where a location is. Then when you inquire about switching to a different department they tell you you are locked in to your job which isn't right. You should be able to try other jobs to see where you fit. Maybe picking isn't for me but stowing is. Or shipping. So to all of you perspective Amazon employees my advice would be unless you have an S on your chest and are Jesse Owens I wouldn't recommend picking. Try another department but leave picking alone. read more
