Pros

Dont have to go far to find a warehouse, very helpful and very nice coworkers. A good workout

Cons

Where do i even begin? I worked at amazon for 2 years and the things ive seen is just insane. 15 minute break thats more like 5 minutes because to get to the break room and back is 5 minutes each. They changed shift times all the time, if you have a second job or go to school it makes it impossible to make it on time if they change shift times. Amazon runs on a flex up flex down schedule. They can either add an hour to your shift or take away time from your shift depending on how busy or not busy it is. Management is full of idiots as well as the HR department. I needed to take time off for surgery and HR said thats fine just bring in documentation. After i get surgery they email me saying i can only miss 6 days right after telling me i can miss 2 weeks+ they then fired me and told me to return in a year. They fired me because of missinformation they gave me. They told me once your termination is in the system theres nothing they can do to change it, see you next year. Bunch of idiots. They also move people around the building left and right even to places that dont need help. One time they moved an old man to unload a trailer by himself and management came over 2 or 3 times to tell him to work faster. Like seriously? You couldnt find someone else? In a building with hundreds of people thats who you pick?

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.
