Pros

Mass hiring events, minimal screening, no experience required. They hire all the people they can get. Good if you are desperate for money.

Cons

Others can say Amazon PDX-5 Hillsboro Sortation Center is either a good or a bad place to work but there's no denying the fact that this site is a revolving door. Seasonal employees come to work and go in a matter of weeks - they never need to be laid-off or terminated, they just simply quit. Out of the original 300+ regular/permanent employees, at least on my shift, only about a fifth remain and they fill in the void with batches of seasonals on a weekly basis! This fact says a lot on how bad this company is being managed.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
