      Pros

      Great pay and great compensation package. Wonderful healthcare provided. Great exposure to process improvements. Opportunity to participate in kaizen events.

      Cons

      Poor work life balance. Does not invest enough time in the development and training of workforce. Lots of development needed in establishing standard work, and general procedures. Improvement needed in establishing better safety training and practices. Managers often are limited in time to engage with associates.

      Pros

      Amazon is pushing the envelope with new technology especially in the cloud computing and ebook space. Amazon has many interesting projects to take advantage of all the interesting information it has on its user base.

      Cons

      Amazon can be extremely stressful and political. Personal freedom to get interesting work done has virtually disappeared in the recent past.

      Pros

      Great opportunities to implement ideas and to prove yourself. Easy access to resources and people. People are willing to help you be successful.

      Cons

      You may have to work longer hours than desired at times. The company loses a lot of talent because of work hours. It can be a challenge to keep a family/work balance.
