Good Benefits, Bad Compensation and Bad work environment
Pros
Credit where its due, Amazon provides good benefits- their health insurance is good. Good and flexible options for salary leaders for leave of absence
Cons
New HR folks and college graduates - My largest recommendation, If you are looking for HR role- look at the corporate business lines because those folks do get better treatment. Working in their warehouse sites, it's a job while you look for something better or if it prevents you from being homeless. -Bad workforce at times, you will be dealing with folks that are coming to work but don't care about their performance, don't care about rules and dont care for consequences - we are talking about folks trying to bring a weapon to the workplace or getting into fights at the workplace. -It is very difficult to get promotions and move up to the next roles, at times if your leader doesn't like you or if they find some some barriers in policy or timing of how many can people can be promoted per year- you are stuck. -There are limited opportunities to showcase your skills to senior leadership- they only care about numbers- no direct relationship. -There are times in which leaders in Amazon will ignore you and not help with cultivating an inclusive environment of growth and talent retention. -There is a reason on why Amazon is always hiring, every team has a retention problem. -You will be expected to work 10-12 hrs a day and during prime week, october sales and peak (Nov and Dec) season, don't make plans because you will be at work for most of the time. -Dealing with internal teams can be a big hassle, nobody is at the same page.
