Pros

- Frequent promotion opportunities - Great for new leaders, Amazon is a leadership boot camp especially at the AM level

Cons

- Work load is extensive in Operations with additional campaigns continuously being piles on - There is a lot of corporate support, but rarely do they support FC needs which compounds the burden for the Senior level Operations teams.

Pros

If you enjoy competitive environments this is the place/role for you. There is always a metric to tackle, a new manager to develop, a performance plan to audit, and a "I gotcha" callout on Regional calls. You will not get bored here and you will never feel like you completely nailed it and that is by design.

Cons

You are responsible for a 24 hours operation. On average I received 5-7 calls after 8 pm and worked every 3 hours on the weekends. There is minimal support from the process engineering/corporate/training teams meaning that you not only oversee the People management of a large business but you have to be incredibly keen on systems and processes to identify and escalate solves your team is experiencing. This role wears many hats. You are responsible for everything negative that happens. Inevitably anything positive your team has achieved will be quickly forgotten or downplayed by the Region powers that be as not good enough.
