Pros

Working at Amazon was a great learning experience in a very fast paced environment. Customer obsession in high demand by filling customer orders & a constant push to get the job done.

Cons

HR Department at the warehouse I was at is horrible and needs to be revamped. As an area manager, you're treated as a grunt, managing grown adults that have more power than you do as a manager. Employees run the warehouse & if you are an area manager, then you had better look out, you'll have a target on your back regardless of how good you are to the associates.

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

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.
