Pros

Dynamic and fast paced environment. Great Associates. Awesome customer focus and extensive automated tools to aid individual and group tasks. World class facilities.

Cons

Rapid growth means rapid promotion of data driven managers in the Fulfillment Centers. Data driven Managers do not have the leadership and soft skills to develop and lead hundreds of associates and subordinate leaders. Vast gap in senior leadership which reflects in rapid turnover in the Area and Operations Managers. Those who can seek position out of the DCs while those who are frustrated leave the company in droves. I caution prior Military to think long and hard about joining the Amazon Distribution Center operations. Life work balance and your frustration at the lack of Sr. Leadership will quickly dissolution you.

Pros

-Very smart managers -Always pushing the envelope

Cons

-To meet expectations, it's difficult to have a work/life balance -Senior leadership tends to manage with fear -Highly competitive environment can devolve into finger pointing if leadership doesn't keep people focused on improving the process. -The leader development process is horrible...Amazon operates on an OJT model where you have to develop any lacking skills yourself, or you will weeded out.
