Horrible Place

Pros

Health insurance is pretty good and the pay is decent but not really if you compare it to other places

Cons

Low pay the management is horrible they never know what hand is doing what they make the rules up as they go. They cant stand the thought of you talking about a union they work you like a dog and no fun so I am not sure were there motto plays a role cause I have yet to have fun there. I along feel like a slave or prisoner being watched all the time having to go through two sets of security is crazy. They treat employees like crap they think of them as a number not a human. So if you don't make the number then they don't want you. I just wish that the customers would see how they treat their people and they wouldn't support them either. Just another reason why corporate America stinks because these big companies want to kill there employees. The 5 min breaks are nice as well but keep in mind they are suppose to be 15 min and lunch 30 but you know its company policy to cut that short don't matter what the federal law says when your amazon. Oh yeah and they don't that if it comes a snow storm they want you risk your life to come to work and no matter what unless that is you are on dayshift then you can close for the day and not count against you. Kind of strange how that works. So if you want to work your life away with no time with family this is great place but I don't I love my family and they are more important to me then Amazon and if you want to move up then you better know somebody or be ready to bend over and take cause that your only way to the top. I cant wait to be out of there and find a career that has values and morals that I stand for and to work at a place where you matter your not a number or a dollar sign.

Pros

I love working here. People on the night shift are awesome, hours kind of are a drag but the pay, benefits and bonus helps level that out. I am thankful for my place in Amazon but would love to be able to do more for Amazon than allowed. To be honest, in some positions the pay far exceeds the job requirements and that has a benefit most jobs can not provide. Love that!

Cons

Communication is off with management and HR. Certain night A.M. doesnt take time to help with certain cituations, heard lots of complaints on him already. Part time Amazonians are eligable for VERY few job opportunities and Full time associates are few and far between. Would love to be able to try differant positions or areas of the place but the word "random" is a definition I dont believe they have down yet. Some P.A's are fraturnizing with the associates instead of doing their job. Can be distracting and leads to poor moral.

Decent pay and benefits

Pros

Pay and benefits are OK 12.50-13.50 to start in the warehouse as a general laborer.

Cons

Job requirements are sometimes extreme. Lower level leadership team is very inexperienced and often makes things harder on the associates. Very arrogant company and culture.
