Pros

I actually really enjoyed working as a Customer Service Manager. The people are great and the amount of empowerment was huge. The ability to make changes and better the work environmet is so much fun. Management actually listens and it is great to see that change is embraced.

Cons

The work life balance is lacking. It is expected that you will work in the evenings on your lap top from home & weekends. I also do not like the forced ranking system that they have in place for employee evaluations. Even if those that you work with are mostly great everyone is forced ranked and pay raises are given based on that ranking. so basically you work your ass off and then may still be in the middle of the pack....especially because the bar is constntly raising. This can be a total moral hit after a long hard Q4 in retail. I found it very demotavating.

Pros

Great business model - customer satisfaction, wide variety of products, lowest prices, and convenience. That combination is hard to beat when executed well. Casual dress code is awesome (jeans, t-shirt, flip flops, baseball cap). Company profitability and stock price has performed well. The company is finally trying to improve their work culture and make it a decent place to work.

Cons

Upper management leaves a lot to be desired. They only know how to manage up and are not supportive of direct reports, causing a lot of potential leaders to make quick exits or end up failing. Lots of managers and leaders chasing AMZN stock, frequently checking the price throughout each work day. There is very little information sharing passed along, making it hard for new hires to quickly acquire the "tribal knowledge" necessary to do their jobs.
