Pros

Benefits for both part time and full-time employees. The benefits are good; however, you're TIRED all the time and stressed out to even remember to browse benefits. PAY. Obviously, the pay is better than MOST companies. Amazon likes to lead with this fact a lot, but the culture is trash, especially in a low performing building. These 2 factors keep people working at Amazon. If you feel like you can't do better than this or don't have anything better going for you, you will most likely make sure yourself believe that it's worth it. IT'S NOT! You will literally, work, sleep, and get food on the way to work (especially if you're working 10–12-hour shifts)

Cons

At this point, it feels illegal to sit down. Its in grained into the culture. It is not normal for HUMANS to not rest multiple times a day. There is a high chance that you will have MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorder) after working here for a small period of time. They provide areas for you to stretch but they will make you feel guilty for needing time to yourself or rush the stretching process to have a FAST START. lack of accountability; When there is accountability, its performative to keep up with rate/metrics or when regionals are visiting the building. overstimulating environment lack of respect from other department leaders. The area managers and even some PA's have such an ego trip with their titles. My manager was very bland and robotic. Did their job, just to say they did it. Lacked emotion and empathy. Most likely an NPC ; They weren't a micromanager. However, all because you are not a micro-manager, it doesn't make you a Leader. They didn't train nor could I ever ask them for anything. My counterpart trained me and seemed to know more about the job duties than my manager.

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.
