Pros

Growth, good compenstation, great place to learn. Name recognition when moving on never hurts either, I received a pretty outstanding offer and the competition for the next level doesn't appear too fierce. As you get further up, the peope surrounding you get smarter and smarter until it's almost intimidating!

Cons

Very little initial training with lots of "tribal knowledge" to get through and somehow learn. The company is extremely data-criven, which allows them to make decisions, but sometimes it seems that people can get lost in all that information. The hours can be a bit tedious too. 60 hours is not uncommon even during medium-busy times.

Pros

Excellent Starting Pay Company helps you to learn the system and supports you but you must make the first move. Communication is sometimes lacking with the reasons things are done. They attempt to motivate the employees but forgot that at times a "presence" and "good job" in person goes a long way. They are good at encouraging employees during peak periods but should also do this throught the year.

Cons

Very slow to promote to Amazon from the temp agency would rather wait and see how long you will tough it out. Let employees of the temp agency know if and when you are going to hire to Amazon. the information given by the temp agency is misleading at best.

Pros

Bonuses suck you inn and potential for 30 k in stock 4 yrs down the road is decent incentive to tough it out. Exponential growth at this point in time.

Cons

Long hours poor senior management on the operations side. Expected flexibility of work hours is unreasonable.
