Pros

Constant expansion Stock value consistently rising 4 day work week (Kind of; you are pulling 60 hour work weeks minimum)

Cons

Constant expansion does not mean greater potential for promotion. The company is spreading itself too thin and has lost sight of its operations and supply chain structure. Expectation of managers to work 55-60 hours during normal weeks, 70-80 during holiday season. Will work one day of the weekend Will have to work at least 12 hours per day Zero job perks, i.e. free food, gym membership, discounts etc. Zero positive feedback, stellar performance is expected. Satisfactory performance is not tolerated.

Pros

- great experience, kind of a sink or swim environment so being proactive and taking the initiave and quick learners are a huge plus. Either way, you are going to put in situations outside of you comfort zone. - Nice signing bonus, mediocre salary - great resume builder, especially for any candiates that came straight from college like me - Lots of responibilites so the work is more rewarding

Cons

- Long hours, I had to open the building at 6:30am (my shift was 7am-5pm), didn't end up leaving til 6pm every nite - Even longer hours during "peak" season, I'm talking about ridiculous long hours like 6 days a week/12hr days for a couple months is normal during holiday peak season - The environment, between the managers, it is very competitive for your department to hit rates, this creates an environment where any manager will talk behind you back at your expense to make themselves look better - Yes you have vacation hours but using them is very unlikely, hard to take time off. You can count on not making it to you family thanksgiving/christmas events.

Pros

Amazon is very gracious with their compensation. Mine included a substantial bonus, complete relocation package, and high salary.

Cons

Very difficult work/life balance. Typical 4 day work week is still in excess of 45-50 hours, with 60 - 70 hour weeks very common. Seems to be a poor plan laid out to cover the extreme growth of the company, leading to a very high turn over rate of management.
