Pros

Generally great co-workers. Pretty good benefits. Area managers are usually understanding and are easy to talk to. Amazon.com is a pretty financially successful company to work for.

Cons

Brutal turnover rate for temp associates not used to working in an environment based primarily on production. There's a thin line to walk while working here. One small incident can mean full termination. Hard working employees who meet and generally well exceed the productivity/safety/quality expectations usually go un-noticed. Peak (Late November - December) hours can be excessively tiring after so many consecutive weeks.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
