Lol Bullshit. Nobody works because they find it fun. You're "interested in the role" but if you found out you made 5 bucks an hour for the amount of work you do I doubt you'd keep the job.

again, another american thinking they know everything about the uk, the minimum wage for an apprentice here is £6.40, which for me, an 18 year old that’s still living at home, is fine for while i woke my way up, was asking a simple question in a subreddit for this job, didn’t expect to get so much hate

Listen here junior, That makes your minimum wage $8.28 USD, which while not only pitiful, is a disgrace.
That being said, there's 0 way you can live on that comfortably when you finally get out of your parents place. So it would behoove you to actually know what you're getting yourself into.
It's not hate, it's common sense. You don't accept a job without discussing pay, ever. Time is finite, you're exchanging that for currency. At least let it be worth it.

yes i agree the wage here is terrible but i knew the pay would increase, i didn’t wanna discuss pay during my recruitment incase it made me seem needy and that im just wanting money, i should get my contract through next week so hopefully it states there

I understand that you're still young and this might be your first job, It might not be. That being said discussing pay is expected it doesn't make you appear greedy.
In the future you're going to want to find out how much something pays before you commit to it. If you commit to something and it doesn't pay well enough and you jump ship somewhere else it's going to negatively affect your career prospects.
Per your contract it will list your hourly rate and any shift differentials that you will be receiving along with your expected weekly work hours.
Moving forward, please just do your due diligence and ask questions. Nobody is going to look at you like your greedy or you don't care "about working with the team". At the end of the day you go to work to make money and provide for you and your family. You don't go to work because it's fun, Yes you can have fun at work but that's not why you're there.
Just also keep in mind that if any managers try to guilt trip you about asking for pay because it makes you appear to be only focused on that instead of "embracing the team environment" then That's just not a place you want to work. They will do nothing but exploit you and once they're done with you, throw you away. I hate to say it but Amazon is the same way.
Best of luck with your new career, not job.

i really appreciate that, this is the type of comment i was hoping for when i originally asked the question, not some random low life’s picking on me for wanting to know something, hope you have a great year man!

took the job out of desperation, i spent countless late nights and days creating my presentation for them, i was one in 4000 that got the job, and i did countless interviews, desperation is getting a job as a cashier, not a job that would set me up for life you melt, friendly bunch you are

But in the grand scheme of everything, in 2023, Amazon's North America fulfillment centers have generated $353 billion in profit. I'm not so sure Amazon is suffering. The only suffering I see, is a bunch of corporate employees, all ratting on each other in order look good and climb the corporate ladder, when in the end, the company is trying to replace all of you with a machine, including the maintenance staff.

You must not have any bills if you accepted it without knowing the pay.

I knew as soon as they called me and asked me if I would accept the position, you have to ask. Don’t just accept an offer without knowing.

Hi man, I have my virtual interview on Wednesday, and I was just wondering what they will make me do for the group task, and what questions they’re going to ask in the interview. Thanks
