Pros

There are good benefits if you want to use them, even stock options. Pay could be worse. Like anywhere the people make or break the culture.

Cons

As an area manager expect to work closer to 14-15 hour days, not 12. During the busier times of the year expect to also work 5-6 days a week. There is no wage transparency and they will not let you negotiate your salary (usually), so you won't know if you are getting paid less than other people doing the same job, until you find out, and if you ask about it, the answer is that it is solely on how they recruit you. So, ask how the recruiting method they are using is determining your salary. I thought Amazon would be more diverse than it is, which is very disappointing.

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.
