Pros

Great Pay for the position. Lots of opportunities for advancement. A solid, well educated, brilliant management team. It is clear this company seeks out and hires the best! Stock Units and great signing bonus that spans two years.

Cons

The work life balance leaves something to be desired, and the learning curve is steep.

Pros

Whether you are a college hire out of school for 2 months, or have industry experience for 10 years, you will have the same expectations and opportunities being in the Area Manager role. You will be challenged and encouraged to make decisions that lead to continuous improvement, take calculated risks, and lead your associates in whatever way you feel you can best relate to them. The company is growing so fast, there is no limit to how far you can advance your career in the company. You get out of this job what you put in, and it is a very rewarding experience to successfully lead a team of associates to providing a great customer experience for hundreds of thousands of customers every single shift, and that is just at your own fulfillment center.

Cons

It is a four day work week for Area Managers, but you are working from 11-12 hours per day. You will likely be relocated given we currently have less than 40 fulfillment centers around the country. You can give a preference for your location and shift, but you will ultimately be placed in a location/shift that is required for the business need, this could be a day shift in Sacremento, CA, or this could be a weekend night shift in Middle-of-Nowhere, Kansas (no offense to Kansas).
