Amazon Area Manager Intern
Columbus, Ohio, United States
The Amazon internship as an area manager gives a hands-on approach to learning the management skills developed in the classroom. Amazon provides one of the most competitive management internships in the country and gives students an in-depth look at real-life management. The internship consists of associate training, weekly 1:1 meetings to discuss improvement, internship projects, networking, and mentorship from the whole Amazon center's team. The internship is designed to help give a realistic job preview and improve the students skills in the area of business. During this internship I was able to take ownership of running certain departments which included staffing, capacity, and labor planning. My internship project involved redesigning a certain area and process within the warehouse. I connected with other Amazon sites for design ideas before implementing into the CMH2 warehouse. The total impact included huge improvements to safety, quality, and efficiency within the warehouse. The total financial impact from my project was over $780,000 with $730,000 being yearly labor cost savings.
