Pros

If you work hard you can move up a lot of people don’t want to do that. 48 hours of paid time off a year 40 hours of vacation first year 80 hours seconded year 80 hours of unpaid time a year Monthly bonus up to 8% of your pay (4%attendance and 4% building performance) this doubles during oct, nov, dec to 16% 4 shares (teir1) or 6 shares (tier3) of stock every year that vests in two years 10% off at Amazon up to the first $1,000 you spend Over time if you want it 4 10 work schedule 6 paid holidays

Cons

Tire 3 tend to work 10.5 to 11.5 hours a day so a 55 hour week is normal During the months of oct ,nov ,dec expect to work lots of over time you will work on almost every holiday expect Christmas and you may get new years day off The rate system has some flaws Stow: if you stow an item and it fall out of a bin and amnesty does not get to it time you get a defect ICQA: if an item falls out of a bin and amnesty does not get to it in time or find the home bin you get a defect PICK: if the label is bad on the item and you miss it out and another department fixes the label you could get a defect The work can be boring

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.
