      Pros

      You have full ownership and if you are a decision maker on all the stuff you work on, there is no time between getting a new idea and starting to work on it.

      Cons

      No work life balance, hard work is always needed.

      Every single day is an exciting, fast-paced, challenging, and engaging experience.

      Pros

      Whether you are a college hire out of school for 2 months, or have industry experience for 10 years, you will have the same expectations and opportunities being in the Area Manager role. You will be challenged and encouraged to make decisions that lead to continuous improvement, take calculated risks, and lead your associates in whatever way you feel you can best relate to them. The company is growing so fast, there is no limit to how far you can advance your career in the company. You get out of this job what you put in, and it is a very rewarding experience to successfully lead a team of associates to providing a great customer experience for hundreds of thousands of customers every single shift, and that is just at your own fulfillment center.

      Cons

      It is a four day work week for Area Managers, but you are working from 11-12 hours per day. You will likely be relocated given we currently have less than 40 fulfillment centers around the country. You can give a preference for your location and shift, but you will ultimately be placed in a location/shift that is required for the business need, this could be a day shift in Sacremento, CA, or this could be a weekend night shift in Middle-of-Nowhere, Kansas (no offense to Kansas).

      Customer Support @ Amazon development center

      Pros

      The work environment is good. It is a growing company and have launched in India as well. The support to the process is ample and daily learning makes you outstanding. One shall work with the company as a beginner, if interested in serving the customers. The best part is that, the more understand the process and work hard. The chances of promoting to further levels would be quite easy. I love to be the part of Amazon for the days ahead too.

      Cons

      I don't see any such instances to quote. The HR and the managerial department works very hard to resolve the issues at every point of time and feedback really works! No comments as such.
