      Although frustrating at times it's still a vibrant place to work

      Pros

      Entrepreneurial environment still exists which makes your job interesting. There is little time for micro-managing of employees - people who last and succeed at Amazon.com loves this aspect. The company's stock performance has been very strong which makes the low salary ranges easier to deal with during reviews. There is still a lot of "out of the box" thinking when tackling problems. There is accountability within all levels of the company.

      Cons

      There is a "promotion" ceiling in the company - once you get to a certain level it is nearly impossible to get promoted to the next level, especially on the business side. There continues to be weak communication links between levels of management which often causes redundant work for employees.

      Amazon.com A Innovative Company

      Pros

      It's a growing company with a lot of new ideas and you get to make a lot of people happy. They are always looking for a way to expand and grow. Once you get your foort in the door as a manager you have a lot of room to grow. A wide variety of job titles.

      Cons

      Pay if you are a Teir 1 or 3 associate. It's a 10 year old company but still seems new at running things. Safety is only claimed to be its priority. As a ever changing company you can get lost day to day in decision making and changes.
