Pros

It's a job that pays money. Managers are nice. They never bother you for anything ever. You can wear headphones while you work. You get lots of PTO. You can come in late and leave early almost every single day, and no one will ever say a thing. You call off using an app, and it's automatically approved. You don't even have to talk to a manager. There is no interview. Just take a mouth swap drug test and you're hired. These things make the Amazon a good place for people with sleep issues, depression, social anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health issues to hold down a job.

Cons

Like every job, pay is awful. Job is boring, repetitive, and back-breaking. Very little downtime. 10 hour shifts, but you only get two 15 minute breaks, and one 30 minute unpaid lunch. Amazon is one of the richest companies in the world. They should be paying us all $30/hr+, give us at least three 20 minute breaks and an hour paid lunch. They can afford it. (And to be honest, any company that can't afford to pay people a livable wage should go out of business because their model is not sustainable. Americans are getting fed up with not being able to afford houses and cars, or even pay our bills on time. This is stuff our Boomer parents all had but we never will. Not even $20/hr is enough for the average American to survive on their own anymore, all thanks to Regan with his "Reganomics" BS that made the rich richer everyone else poorer, that still affects us all today. If you didn't enter the job market before the early 80s, you're pretty much screwed for your entire life, unless you have rich parents. Thanks, Republicans.)

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.
