Pros

Amazon looks good on a resume and it will get you a better job, when you are finally done with this place.

Cons

If you read about horrible conditions at Amazon warehouses, know that their white collar employees are treated only marginally better. It is true that you would not have to work in a 105F degree environment with no A/C, however you would be expected to work 70+ hours a week, including weekends. If you don't, and say you only work 50+ hours, your manager won't tell you much, however when time comes for your performance review you will be unpleasantly surprised. It does not matter if you achieve all your goals, your manager will find a way to give you a bad review and make your life miserable to force you out of the company. If your manager is a half decent person and refuses to exploit his people, he in turn will be be forced out to be replaced by a slave driver.

Pros

Some areas of work are challenging Friendly coworkers Many opportunities to advance Monthly bonuses and inexpensive health insurance Fun environment

Cons

Long hours (alot of overtime, especially during peak season) No tuition reimbursement (offering this would help them promote from within) Amount of employees during peak season (parking lot, break rooms and other areas are so crowded with people that it can make for an unpleasant day)

Pros

Great opportunities to implement ideas and to prove yourself. Easy access to resources and people. People are willing to help you be successful.

Cons

You may have to work longer hours than desired at times. The company loses a lot of talent because of work hours. It can be a challenge to keep a family/work balance.
