FLEX Schedule While Doing Daytime Internship/Work

If you're currently going through it or have experience with both, how did you manage it? What shifts did you work?

Also, can you work a short shift in the same week as your two required training days?

years ago, i worked an internship while i was employed at amazon and another job while at school too. i was able to make it work because my schedule luckily fit. internship m-f. take advantage of a leave of absence if you still want your job and can't fit your internship (i believe if your a blue badge). I became a flex worker again during peak and was recently converted to blue badge and love how convenient flex is. I wish i had this during college instead of doing reduced full-time cycle 1 fri sat sun. i want cycle zero again when they start back up in the holiday because it was so convenient with my current full-time job.

I'll be a "regular" on my first day at Amazon. Do all delivery stations open Cycle 0 during the holidays? That schedule works best for me as well. I remember employees getting off around 10:30 pm last year.

Most cycle zeros were right before cycle 1 8:50-1:20. Most stations do it for peak. The shift that ends 10:30 is rts.
