Pros

Constantly changing environment. Interesting coworkers. Atypical work environment.

Cons

Hours. Work/life balance. Strain on your body. Quotas for writing people up (3 per shift). You won’t know what shift or department you’ll be in until you accept the offer. The setup with leaders at Amazon is such that it is constantly changing - managers moving shifts and departments. This can be good or bad. Have a horrible team? Just wait a few months - someone will be gone. But on the flip side you could hit that sweet spot with team dynamics and then your dream team is disrupted. A normal full-time job is 2080 a year (40hr x 52 weeks), but I worked 2696 in one year (remember, no overtime, so when you calculate your actual hourly rate be sure to take the true picture into account). Sadly, that’s just counting the hours in the facility - plenty of times I worked at home on things like revising AA’s resumes to get them ready for promotions.
