Zero respect for AWS employees at PDX
Pros
Good pay and ok benefits.
Cons
I tried to find anything in Amazon's polices about their attitude towards their employees and came up empty. There's nothing about how valuable they are, how important they are to the company, nothing. Bottom line is they could care less hence the high turn over rate. They do send out annoying daily questions to employees that most people refuse to answer or are cowered into lying about their answer. What they won't tell you when hired on is your sign on perks count towards your raises for 4 years. If you want time off you must find someone else to work the shift for you. Everyone is put on a rotating list. If you don't cover for someone taking time off and your name moves to the top of the list, you're forced to cover that shift AND cover another one as punishment for moving to the top of the list. If you forget your badge, you are given a temp badge which in big pink letters says, I F M B....I forgot my badge to tell the world you're an idiot. The security is so anal they will tell the whole world you got a door alarm...most demeaning and disrespectful job I ever worked at. Cannot wait to get away from this abusive culture.
