Pros

Amazon encourages innovation which is a huge difference from previous places I've worked. It is extremely fast-paced with a lot of ambiguity, so to be successful, you have to have a strong bias for action. If you do, you will be able to advance quickly because Amazon is growing so fast.

Cons

It is very hard work. Amazon is growing very quickly, and keeping up can be a challenge. The rewards are worth it, however.

Pros

The only pro I can think of is that the hiring process was very very fast, maybe too fast for me to make an informed decission to work there.

Cons

The list can be so long. hard back breaking work, not easy on the body. the company and management treat you like a slave. more than 1 second late from a break and you get writen up. Written up really? is this Jr. High? Break starts from the time you leave your "station" and it takes 5 minutes to walk to break area. So in a sense your break is only 5 minutes long. Management has an attitude that they are better than you. It's a low paying job at only $12.50 an hour and you are rated on how many packages you handle on top of that. bad company policies for employee's
