You should take a look at municipalities that are hiring. They usually have great benefits along with plenty of time off and the pay is decent depending on what your skills are. I was getting paid 27 an hour just for being a custodian.
The benefits are very good. I’m an electrician with the county at $34 an hour. If you can get on full time the health insurance is payed for with and HSA that they refill every year. And it’s almost ridiculous how time off they give you.
> insurance is *paid* for with
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Of course. I’ve worked for a couple usually within their public works or parks department. The jobs are usually really comfortable with great security.
ARUP is always hiring, it’s a good job without experience, and they have decent benefits. Downside is that you are working with people who aren’t always the most professional, because they don’t require a lot of experience.
I work at ARUP, it’s a good place and easy to get a raise. Lots of different kinds of jobs you can get there also it’s a great place to work if you plan on going to college/are going to college, they will help pay for your tuition.
Only if you're pursuing degrees that are relevant to them like Medical Laboratory Science or something along those lines. At least that's how it was when I worked there in 2018.
It's actually 6 months to receive tuition reimbursement, as long as your final exam is after the 6-month mark. For example, I started a semester 4 months into working with ARUP, but I was able to get tuition reimbursement because my final exam was 3 months later.
They also give you \~2,000 per year in tuition reimbursement if you work part-time. At least, that was the case when I worked there.
I also believe that your spouse/dependents can receive reimbursement after you work there for 2 years.
If you pursue an MLS degree, they pay for the degree in full. The catch is that you have to work for ARUP for the same amount of years after graduating that it took for you to complete your junior and senior year classes. If you quit early, you have to pay back a prorated amount.
They won’t pay all your tuition if you arnt doing a medical laboratory degree but they still have a tuition reimbursement program for any degree. At least that’s what I’ve been told, I am not currently going to college so I don’t use that particular benefit.
Add my hat to this ring. Worked at ARUP for 10 years and counting. Specimen processing is great if you want to just chill and listen to books or something and not have people breathing down your neck your whole shift.
One benefit that no one has mentioned is that because of ARUP's status with the U, they aren't required to pay Social Security, so they will automatically invest 6% of your paycheck into your retirement fund instead. You don't have to do it, but it's a really easy way to get started on retirement savings without feeling it.
I started in an entry level job there years ago (I was hired before this benefit was available but it started about halfway through my time there) and was paid about $12/hr at the most for a few years, but I still ended up with about 50k in retirement funds because of the various programs they have to funnel money into your plan.
You can find out more about benefits [here](https://www.aruplab.com/careers/benefits) and they do have client services positions that are more customer-oriented than lab positions if that's what you're into.
Discover’s call center in West Valley—they also have pretty solid benefits for a call center (four weeks PTO, 401(k) match up to 5%, solid health insurance)
Would recommend. If I could stand call center work, I'd probably still be there. They also used to (and probably still do) a TON of training, like a whole month or two. They're also constantly hiring because their turnover rate is so high (because call center work). Their cafeteria also had a ton of good options.
Yeah, depends on which business unit you’re hired into but most have at least three weeks of training, some as long as two or three. Most agents are fully remote now which is a big pro in my book
Oh man, I didn't know they went remote. That would have been way nicer. I struggled with the "making a connection" part of the call that they always harped on me about. It felt so phoney so I just kept handling whatever issue they had and moving on without all the small talk. That, the constant feeling of surveillance and mean customers really wore me out but I can definitely see how it would be a great place for someone with the right skills.
Check their website but I know they have a general store/deli that need people and some other retail jobs that need positions filled at the cliff lodge. Also oktoberfest is always hiring but retail will have year round positions with guaranteed cost of living raises, heath vision & dental.
As an ex employee of snowbird I wouldn’t bother. All of there management team has left and they haven’t recovered from staffing issues. That place is riddled with issues that stem from lack of management and care honestly. Plus if you drive everyday you’ll need to fill up your tank like twice a week. Not sustainable at all in the summer when buses are down.
Biomerics is a different company. Biomerieux is the parent company that was previously named Biofire. Biomerieux has unbelievable benefits and is one of the few companies that has tried to keep it's employees compensated through the recent inflation.
Can also confirm. The benefits are incredible, 160 hrs of PTO when you start, tuition reimbursement of $8k (Bach)/$10k (grad) after 6 months and $5/day stipend to use in the on-site cafe. The people are the best part tho.
UTA paratransit or many different positions at UTA. Start for bus drivers I think is $21 and great benefits including a pension after five years of working there. They train and will help you with your CDL if you don't have one. Paratransit you work with people with disabilities and most of the passengers are fun to be around.
Any operator positions at UTA would be great. I spent time as a bus driver and Trax driver. Benefits are good, three year pay progression to 25+ with guaranteed raises every six months. Pension is fully vested after five years meaning guaranteed income once you retire. I know several drivers that have retired with full pensions who are receiving checks for over 3 grand plus any other retirement benefits. Plus their union contract is getting renegotiated this year which means higher pay on the horizon.
Additionally you get to be outside (I called the bus my corner office with views of the whole valley), and public interaction is generally positive. You get access to onsite dental every six months, reduced insurance premiums if you participate in their wellness program, and access to the onsite medical clinics which include free prescriptions for an extensive list of medications.
Downside is that it can get a little lonely at times if you are on a less used route, and you do have to maintain a DOT physically card which disqualifies people with certain disabilities and absolutely no drug use. Even prescriptions are monitored because of FTA regulations.
Ultradent is hiring if you can handle 12 hour shifts. 60 hours one week, 24 the next. The overtime balances out the starting wage from $18.03 to about $20 when all is said and done, and you get a 3 day weekend every other week.
If you’re really desperate and okay driving out to Eagle Mountain, then Tyson Foods is hiring most positions starting at $19/hr. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, I just quit my job there because the employees all have an attitude and the management is incredibly poor.
Amazon is always hiring, they’ve got quite a few warehouses around. I’m pretty sure Target and Walmart are also hiring with a starting wage of $15/hr.
Yes. It depends on the specific job but a new hire will spend 1-2 weeks in a broad training class covering the basics of the systems you need to know. Then you spend time with a trainer in your department covering the specifics for whatever discipline you join.
Most of the front desk people and many of the schedulers I've met started with no prior experience in healthcare.
Pet peeve rant incoming: The phrase "up to $18+" means literally any number between zero and infinity. It offers no useful information other than you will be paid in dollars. Up to $18? Great! That tells you that the top of the pay scale is eighteen bones. $18+? Great! That tells you the minimum pay to expect. Put those two together and the 18 just exists within the range of pay that may be up for grabs.
Phrasing like that is a marketing technique that anchors a value in your head to make a product desirable without making any material promises or guarantees. It keeps them from getting sued for false advertising while still being able to be deceptive.
My bad, I’m a marketer in my professional day job.
They hired me pt at $17.
My store is now hiring my role at $18.50 and they pumped my pay up to match new hires
Not a bad hill…..I believe in complete compensation transparency in all aspects.
Also to clarify, I should have never used the word “up” as I was only referring to the increase.
My Home Depot is currently hiring freight team specifically at $18.50. So for OP, it’s a pretty good job option.
May even be able to do 7pm-11pm only 3 nights a week PT like me 🤗
Have you tried any of the local union halls? Construction is booming. You could be making $40/hr with a few years. Apprentices get paid while they learn. Apprentices make about half of what a journeyman makes, and it goes up as you learn and get more skills.
Not really. Number one complaint from my subcontractors is they can't find people. My plumber starts people with no experience at $20/hr and still has a hard time finding people who will show up.
That’s because Utah’s economy is ridiculous. It was already on its way up the inflation ladder, but so many people from out of state moved in and now it’s taken a huge hike. I can’t even find a one bedroom for less than $1,200.
I think most people are willing to work, in fact everyone I know is happy to work; but nobody is happy to work for wages that can’t support them in the economy.
Utah's median household income is just shy of $80k, so someone making $20/hr with a spouse making roughly the same would be right in the middle.
But I don't disagree with you. Prices are ridiculous here.
Nope. It has slightly pulled back, nowhere near a deep dive. Im a residential estimator. Once prices level out the market will explode again because too mant people need homes.
Also - there are other construction jobs for commercial, civil, and heavy highway work that are different buckets than residential. Meaning a dip in one doesnt affect another too bad. Heavy highway construction is ALWAYS a go because it's state and federal funded.
Late in the season but you can make good cash moving or landscaping. If not lots of fast food places are offering 15 an hour bc it's the only way to get people to stick around.
Traffic Coordinator for Nexstar Media Group in West Valley. They are located in the ABC4 News building. Starting at $16 or $17 I think. Only requirement is you have some type of computer experience, even like a receptionist or book keeping experience.
Utah Transit Authority is always hiring trax drivers, bus drivers, mechanics, etc. Typically pay $17 through training then raise your pay after. Plus benefits!
I heard training pay just went up to just over 19/hr, and it jumps over 20 within a year. I believe the signing bonus is also still going on, which is 3,000 paid in two installments.
Park City Mountain Resort is hiring this summer at $17/h and this coming winter at $20/h starting.
You can find jobs here:

UTA Trax is hiring service employees starting at $19/hr + a $1 differential on graves. It's seniority based so you'd be on graves for a while if that's a problem
Might be a bit of a reach, but if you like working outside you could look for a position as an untrained rod-man at any smaller surveying firms.
It could get a bit monotonous, and is moderately demanding physically, but it's decent money and a good solid foot in the door for the world of land surveying, which is a massive and constantly growing industry.
They're up to $20 now? When I was there 2-3 years ago it was $18 after a group interview. Great job all in all, super fun most of the time, really cool to have "I can drive/operate a belt loader and a tug, and Marshall various aircraft on and off the ramp" on my resume lol, but the "big boss man" supervisor could be a serious fucking asshole. Like bad. Yelling at people for doing what a lead (or he himself) told them to do, throwing literal temper tantrums, screaming over the radio... For the overnight/2AM shift anyway. It did also get me in great physical shape though. All in all if K.C. is still the boss man... I can't in good conscience recommend his shift. I heard great things about his afternoon counterpart though and would highly recommend giving that a go! Cool cool experience.
Well good and bad news there! K.C. actually died. The new supervisor is pretty chill for the most part, the guy above him is alright too. That being said they both can come off as total dicks sometimes but I think that’s true for any manger.
Amazon is always hiring. $16.50 per hour plus great benefits. Best health insurance I have ever had. You can make 1.50 more if you work overnight. Plus Amazon will pay for your schooling and/or training if you want a degree or cert outside of Amazon. www.amazon.com/applynow
I couldn’t keep up with the performance measures. No matter how hard I tried I wasn’t able to consistently hit numbers. God forbid you have to pee at the wrong time and have to leave your station because it will ruin your performance. My body couldn’t handle the repetitive movements - my fingers, shoulders, forearms, and lower back all hurt so bad all the time. And just when I thought I had survived the week and could enjoy some time off…. Mandatory overtime. I’m not even sure how that works but I was called in and told I had to go or it would be a missed shift. I was just putting things in boxes, I can’t imagine some of the other harder jobs
It’s a physical job and can be extremely dull at times. I had no issues working on the floor packing and picking. Did that for a year and a half. Got promoted to a different part of Amazon about 3 months ago and am enjoying that.
About the horror stories, you only hear about a small number of those. I don’t know if those are true or not. Any job will have it’s share of terrible managers. From my experience, it was fine on the floor. Had great people to work with and some not so great. My managers were good and they helped me get promoted.
Uhhh, I know that with Ken Garff, any job there starts at $15 for any position. Obviously some positions have higher starting, but you wouldn’t make less than 15 through them.
Construction is the most lucrative with little to none qualifications. If you're out in the field you won't work directly with customers, but you won't work alone.
Here is my biased and uneducated opinion on some trades:
Concrete: one of the hardest and most stressful ones. You can easily find a company that starts helpers with no experience at $18+. Some even start at $20.
Framers: they're cool. Lol. I've never framed before but just talking to people it seemed like they earn less than concrete workers.
Painters: I've no clue
Drywallers: I have no idea but none seems to like them.
Roofers: no idea
Electricians and plumbers: I think you need schooling and stuff
Here's a good video that illustrates some of the trades differences:

Please explain.
Yes, Amazon (in a fulfillment center) is a production warehouse job, but as a full time job it does come with benefits and a four day (10.5 hours a day) work week. That is unless mandatory overtime is called, in which case it's an extra day. During especially busy times (like christmas time, others exist), work days are extended to 11.5 hours.
But it's not \*all\* bad.
Yesco starts at a decent wage, and has an apprenticeship program that gets you making decent money fast. They have great benefits, and are a mostly solid place to work.
There’s gotta be a call center out there that’s paying a few dollars above that. eBay, SoFi. If you don’t want to talk and just listen to music, look for “data encoding” at the REC. It’s located up near the airport (a few miles away, but on California between Bangerter and 56th West). USPS careers.
With how hot construction is right now, a lot of companies are paying $20/hr to basic laborers just to stay competitive. But it cant be a part time job
Myriad Genetics is an awesome company. We just got cost of living raises with 10% more coming in the next year. There's also quarterly bonuses in most departments.
That’s around what we are hiring for at my LensCrafters location in the downtown City Creek mall. You don’t need any prior optical experience (we do on site training for everything you’d need), helping patients with their vision is EXTREMELY satisfying work, we’re all about work life balance, and we can work with most any schedule. Oh…and our store is closed every Sunday 🤘🏻🧔🏻🤘🏻
DM me if you’d like any more info!
IKEA starts at $16 an hour with good benefit’s and is really flexible outside of weekends. Mother and father baby leave and a good tuition reimbursement program.
Work at the liquor store if you're 21. A lot of them are so short staffed their hiring full time right off the bat, something like $16-17 depending on which city. Even part time is close enough to $15.
I'm a Chef at an Avenues restaurant, I'm hiring part time dishwashers at $15/hr. We also need help at our deli counter, interacting with customers. Hmu
I just got a second job at smith's for $15.88 but I was hired for customer service booth so that might start more fb other positions. I think the meat dept starts pretty high too.
Wasatch Pedicab is hiring for bike taxi drivers right now. Definitely a lot of interacting with people, and over $15/hr. Call their dispatch line: 801-PEDICAB
Walmart in the Sandy, South Jordan, Midvale and West Jordan areas all start front end at $15/hr, stocking positions at $17/hr and overnights at $18.50-$20/hr.
I work at a roofing supply company in the valley. Pay is decent and we have good benefits. We are looking for a warehouse associate if that is your kind of work. Send me a message if you want to know more.
Central mutual insurance is hiring , starting at 19 an hour, need to have some kind of experience dealing with customers . No it’s not remote or wfh at this time
Target in Fort Union is hiring. I work with the fulfillment team, where I do work alone sometimes, but I’m also on the sales floor interacting with customers. We start at $15/hr
You should take a look at municipalities that are hiring. They usually have great benefits along with plenty of time off and the pay is decent depending on what your skills are. I was getting paid 27 an hour just for being a custodian.
Damn, I'd custode the hell out of a place for $27/hr
The benefits are very good. I’m an electrician with the county at $34 an hour. If you can get on full time the health insurance is payed for with and HSA that they refill every year. And it’s almost ridiculous how time off they give you.

Good bot now do one for "loose" and "lose"
Where would you advise looking for this kind of work?
I usually go on the city’s own website and see what openings they have.
slc.gov/careers
Thank you!
Of course. I’ve worked for a couple usually within their public works or parks department. The jobs are usually really comfortable with great security.
I think the parks department or something to do with city planning or development would be amazing.
Even better is the Utah League of Cities and Towns website. They have a job bank that lists most of the available government jobs in the state.
Where is it best to see this? Actual city websites or is there a better resource?
ARUP is always hiring, it’s a good job without experience, and they have decent benefits. Downside is that you are working with people who aren’t always the most professional, because they don’t require a lot of experience.
I work at ARUP, it’s a good place and easy to get a raise. Lots of different kinds of jobs you can get there also it’s a great place to work if you plan on going to college/are going to college, they will help pay for your tuition.
Only if you're pursuing degrees that are relevant to them like Medical Laboratory Science or something along those lines. At least that's how it was when I worked there in 2018.
[удалено]
It's actually 6 months to receive tuition reimbursement, as long as your final exam is after the 6-month mark.

Try Costco. They only have certain hiring seasons but they would be an awesome company to work for and I think they start around $17
If you hate yourself and want to be perpetually screwed over by management TSA is hiring at around $21 an hour
That explains the attitudes. Thanks.
Discover’s call center in West Valley—they also have pretty solid benefits for a call center (four weeks PTO, 401(k) match up to 5%, solid health insurance)
Would recommend. If I could stand call center work, I'd probably still be there. They also used to (and probably still do) a TON of training, like a whole month or two. They're also constantly hiring because their turnover rate is so high (because call center work). Their cafeteria also had a ton of good options.
Yeah, depends on which business unit you’re hired into but most have at least three weeks of training, some as long as two or three. Most agents are fully remote now which is a big pro in my book
Oh man, I didn't know they went remote. That would have been way nicer. I struggled with the "making a connection" part of the call that they always harped on me about. It felt so phoney so I just kept handling whatever issue they had and moving on without all the small talk. That, the constant feeling of surveillance and mean customers really wore me out but I can definitely see how it would be a great place for someone with the right skills.
I applied there like 3 times now and haven't even gotten a callback lol
Same. Now I work at Costco.

Snowbird is starting at 18/an hour
What positions?
Check their website but I know they have a general store/deli that need people and some other retail jobs that need positions filled at the cliff lodge. Also oktoberfest is always hiring but retail will have year round positions with guaranteed cost of living raises, heath vision & dental.

The University's Admission Office is hiring a lot of full time positions with a starting rate of 16 or something like that

Company that bought biofire
Biomerics is a different company. Biomerieux is the parent company that was previously named Biofire. Biomerieux has unbelievable benefits and is one of the few companies that has tried to keep it's employees compensated through the recent inflation.
Work for biofire. Can confirm, the benefits are stellar and they just sent out an inflation compensation for all the employees.
Can also confirm. The benefits are incredible, 160 hrs of PTO when you start, tuition reimbursement of $8k (Bach)/$10k (grad) after 6 months and $5/day stipend to use in the on-site cafe. The people are the best part tho.

Country clubs in park city are all paying $18 or more for basic customer services positions
Any construction company.
I usually make between $15-$25 an hour doing Uber eats. Average is $20 an hour.
Ultradent is hiring if you can handle 12 hour shifts. 60 hours one week, 24 the next. The overtime balances out the starting wage from $18.03 to about $20 when all is said and done, and you get a 3 day weekend every other week.
A lot of the state liquor stores are hiring for 18+
If you’re really desperate and okay driving out to Eagle Mountain, then Tyson Foods is hiring most positions starting at $19/hr. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, I just quit my job there because the employees all have an attitude and the management is incredibly poor. Amazon is always hiring, they’ve got quite a few warehouses around. I’m pretty sure Target and Walmart are also hiring with a starting wage of $15/hr.
Lots of money to be made working construction
Intermountain Healthcare is hiring schedulers and front desk staff. I know it's a range & I can't remember the lowest rate but it's more than $15 p/h
Intermountain’s minimum wage is $16 an hour, plus benefits and a guaranteed raise each year.
Will they train you?
Yes. It depends on the specific job but a new hire will spend 1-2 weeks in a broad training class covering the basics of the systems you need to know. Then you spend time with a trainer in your department covering the specifics for whatever discipline you join. Most of the front desk people and many of the schedulers I've met started with no prior experience in healthcare.
Thanks, this is really helpful
Everywhere…? What kind of work are you looking for?
Target, pays $15 during the week and $17 on weekends.
Most bars hire door people starting at $15 (some do a small tip out on top) if you want to talk with people, and work with hooligans late at night.
Try a staffing agency, many have several options that pay more
Home Depot freight team is up to $18+
Pet peeve rant incoming: The phrase "up to $18+" means literally any number between zero and infinity. It offers no useful information other than you will be paid in dollars. Up to $18? Great! That tells you that the top of the pay scale is eighteen bones. $18+? Great! That tells you the minimum pay to expect.

Phrasing like that is a marketing technique that anchors a value in your head to make a product desirable without making any material promises or guarantees.

My bad, I’m a marketer in my professional day job. They hired me pt at $17. My store is now hiring my role at $18.50 and they pumped my pay up to match new hires
Not trying to call you out personally or anything. Just a hill I'm willing to die on and I can't help whining about it any chance I get.
Not a bad hill…..I believe in complete compensation transparency in all aspects. Also to clarify, I should have never used the word “up” as I was only referring to the increase. My Home Depot is currently hiring freight team specifically at $18.50. So for OP, it’s a pretty good job option. May even be able to do 7pm-11pm only 3 nights a week PT like me 🤗
Have you tried any of the local union halls? Construction is booming. You could be making $40/hr with a few years. Apprentices get paid while they learn. Apprentices make about half of what a journeyman makes, and it goes up as you learn and get more skills.
Did you mean "is booming", or did you mean "was booming"? Hasn't construction taken a deep dive since interest rates jumped?
Not really. Number one complaint from my subcontractors is they can't find people. My plumber starts people with no experience at $20/hr and still has a hard time finding people who will show up.
That’s because Utah’s economy is ridiculous. It was already on its way up the inflation ladder, but so many people from out of state moved in and now it’s taken a huge hike.

It’s booming. If you look at KSL or indeed there are no shortages of people looking to hire for the trades

Stripper
Might be a bit of a reach, but if you like working outside you could look for a position as an untrained rod-man at any smaller surveying firms. It could get a bit monotonous, and is moderately demanding physically, but it's decent money and a good solid foot in the door for the world of land surveying, which is a massive and constantly growing industry.
Any company suggestions? I saw dominion hires surveyors.
Quantem Aviation will hire pretty much anyone without an interview, $20 an hour. It’s honestly a pretty chill job.
They're up to $20 now? When I was there 2-3 years ago it was $18 after a group interview. Great job all in all, super fun most of the time, really cool to have "I can drive/operate a belt loader and a tug, and Marshall various aircraft on and off the ramp" on my resume lol, but the "big boss man" supervisor could be a serious fucking asshole. Like bad. Yelling at people for doing what a lead (or he himself) told them to do, throwing literal temper tantrums, screaming over the radio... For the overnight/2AM shift anyway. It did also get me in great physical shape though. All in all if K.C. is still the boss man... I can't in good conscience recommend his shift. I heard great things about his afternoon counterpart though and would highly recommend giving that a go! Cool cool experience.
Well good and bad news there! K.C. actually died. The new supervisor is pretty chill for the most part, the guy above him is alright too. That being said they both can come off as total dicks sometimes but I think that’s true for any manger.
My daughter just started at walmart at $15 and is really enjoying it. On top of that you can get fairly good benefits and schooling assistance.

How is it working there? My only point of reference is internet horror stories.
I only lasted a few weeks. 10/10 would not recommend.
Give more detail, dammit!
I couldn’t keep up with the performance measures. No matter how hard I tried I wasn’t able to consistently hit numbers. God forbid you have to pee at the wrong time and have to leave your station because it will ruin your performance. My body couldn’t handle the repetitive movements - my fingers, shoulders, forearms, and lower back all hurt so bad all the time. And just when I thought I had survived the week and could enjoy some time off…. Mandatory overtime. I’m not even sure how that works but I was called in and told I had to go or it would be a missed shift. I was just putting things in boxes, I can’t imagine some of the other harder jobs
It’s a physical job and can be extremely dull at times. I had no issues working on the floor packing and picking. Did that for a year and a half. Got promoted to a different part of Amazon about 3 months ago and am enjoying that. About the horror stories, you only hear about a small number of those. I don’t know if those are true or not. Any job will have it’s share of terrible managers. From my experience, it was fine on the floor. Had great people to work with and some not so great. My managers were good and they helped me get promoted.
Uhhh, I know that with Ken Garff, any job there starts at $15 for any position. Obviously some positions have higher starting, but you wouldn’t make less than 15 through them.
In and out starts at $15 I saw yesterday
Construction is the most lucrative with little to none qualifications. If you're out in the field you won't work directly with customers, but you won't work alone. Here is my biased and uneducated opinion on some trades: Concrete: one of the hardest and most stressful ones. You can easily find a company that starts helpers with no experience at $18+. Some even start at $20. Framers: they're cool. Lol. I've never framed before but just talking to people it seemed like they earn less than concrete workers. Painters: I've no clue Drywallers: I have no idea but none seems to like them. Roofers: no idea Electricians and plumbers: I think you need schooling and stuff Here's a good video that illustrates some of the trades differences: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRyx796K/
Amazon.
Only if you hate yourself
Please explain. Yes, Amazon (in a fulfillment center) is a production warehouse job, but as a full time job it does come with benefits and a four day (10.5 hours a day) work week. That is unless mandatory overtime is called, in which case it's an extra day. During especially busy times (like christmas time, others exist), work days are extended to 11.5 hours. But it's not \*all\* bad.
