Pros
Ability to move up if you perform your job and show willingness to learn new things and take on more roles than you get paid for. Good Health benefits, paycheck every Friday, can engage with others there or not if you are a Tier 1. Has some cool people to work with, food trucks, yearly raise in early October and will help pay $5250 a year towards college education.
Cons
Long hours 10-12 a day, demanding physical work and it sucks wearing heavy composite toe shoes everyday! You miss out on a lot of family time!!! Hard to move past a Tier 3. Some of the managers suck others are really good. If you move up to a Tier3 you never get VTO (volunteer time off) anymore so you always have to use your own time if you need off. Their Safety shoes are terrible and end up damaging your feet. Micromanaging bosses instead of letting you do your job. You end up training the new managers they bring in that don’t know anything. Constant turnover. You can have 3 different bosses within 6 weeks time. For the stress you put up with Amazon’s pay needs to be higher for Tier 3 employees for what we deal with. Starting pay for that should be $25/hr minimum. We barely make $1.80 hr more than Tier 1’s thats start at $18-20hr and have to put up with so much negativity from management and employees and we are just trying to do our job and help the process run smoother at work. For what we get paid if you are a single salary household it’s not even enough to live on your own in today’s economy. Amazon can afford to pay higher wages so that we are not barely scraping by to feed our families.
