Pros

Extremely good health benefits Good opportunity to connect with people Never truly boring Easy entry into management especially fresh out of college and the base starting pay is good along with a relocation compensation

Cons

No bonuses All evaluation or promotion raises are primarily composed with stocks that do not vest until after a year and the salary increase is minimal The hardest was the demanding hours for salary exempt having to fill business needs and fill in regularly having to work 12-14 hours regularly even on normal days and potentially more during peak which made work life balancing so hard Conflicting or sometimes contradicting communication from the different departments I.E Safety ,HR and Operations Lateral movement is nigh impossible without some higher up already established having your back College hire program while good Led to over staffing which led to poor training (your onsite team that you would work with are the only one who will train you if they have the time)

Pros

Good pay for what you do. Amazon runs itself. Your job is managing people.

Cons

Senior leadership only cares about metrics. They forget that the associates are people.

Pros

The pay here is good, with lots of overtime opportunities. The benefits are also pretty solid.

Cons

The work itself is very repetitive and mentally draining. With shifts all being 10 hrs> this can really put a toll on you if it's not something you're used to.
