Pros

Referring to the logistic facilities. The pay and a great job if you're lazy or lack standards. You literally have to only show up. A lot of women. The industrial engineers did a good job on the facility. Plenty of clean ultrafiltered water, vending machines with free good-quality gloves, painkillers, and TUMS.

Cons

Half the people who work there. Inconsiderate, lazy, incompetent, and sometimes utterly aggressive about how they do their job. It really is the main problem with the job and I'm usually chill with all of my coworkers. Other than that, dead-end job. Benefits are bad. There is not one full-time job here at any level and 1500 work here. Company doesn't care if you get sick or hurt, instead you get 'UPT'. Unpaid time off. 7 days to start and 5 a quarter. You want to take a day, sure, don't even call in. You end up in the hospital because you're throwing up blood for weeks and didn't get around to applying for a leave of absence? You're fired. You get hurt at your other job and show up anyway, showing your supervisor that you obviously shouldn't work, hoping to be sent home? Too bad, you meet his power trip. Further, right next to you they're building the automated system that is about to replace you and the hundred others in your work area. And they lie to you. Everything they tell you in orientation is a lie. Or perhaps ignorance because they hired someone off the corner who can't even write a page without 5 mis-spellings yet this is your official Amazon documents. Then they'll randomly change your schedule, not tell you, and you don't find out until someone asks "Why are you here, you're not scheduled?". Meanwhile you're racking up that UPT. You print out proof that clearly your schedule was changed, bring it to HR, and they say "we need that day one paper". The same one with the mis-spellings that was clearly copy-pasted and poorly edited from the last facility they let this girl do orientation for. I scribbled all over it with proof-reading anyway, it's offensive. It's amazing how such an easy job can be so hard to deal with.

Pros

decent benefits for basic employment

Cons

horrible management. Talk down to you. If you get hurt then you're screamed at because your boss losses his promotion.
