Pros

As far as the actual work goes, it's pretty easy. It can get a little stressful at times but there's always someone who can help when needed. There is room for growth if you're willing to put in the work.

Cons

Upper management tends to enforce a lot of BS rules that just make the techs jobs harder and less efficient. Also, if you don't brown nose upper management and worship Amazon's 14 leadership principles like the holy bible, it's a lot harder to move up. The people that are less knowledgeable and just chat with the bosses all day to get out of doing real work tend to be the ones who get promoted. Not a good look.

Pros

Great benefits. The RME apprenticeship is a great program. Amazon will pay you At the end of 12 weeks, after passing 4 PMMI tests (Industrial Electricity, PLC's, Mechanical Principles & Motor Control, and Fluid Power & Pneumatics) you'll get a raise to $21.80/hour. After 2,000 hours of OTJ (on-the-job) training, you take a comprehensive test (Ramsay). Upon passing that, you get another raise ($5+ per hour). Toyota is currently paying $28/hour for RME Techs and Telsa is paying $31/hour so AMZN will probably have to come up.

Cons

It's a machine, a modern day Dickens (as in Charles Dickens) factory with great benefits. For the motivated, they have several programs where they will pay for your education, and help you raise your wage by acquiring a knowledge base and skill set that is in demand from employers. Make friends with HR, learn the policies and procedures of your benefits, that will keep the AMZN machine from crushing you.
