Pros

Very steady employment with good health benefits and more generous vacation time with tenure. But 10 + hours on your feet is diffficult, especially during the holiday shopping season with vacation freezes & 5, 11-12 hours shifts) especially November and December.

Cons

Many Amazon Fullfillment process paths require productivity rates that lack "worker sustainability" thus are conducive to industrial repetative motion injury, especially if "loose jointed." These types of injuries can happen with in a few months of full time employment.

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.
