Pros

My particular manager is helpful and courteous unlike others. He is willing to assist when rates are slightly below par. Good personal time policy - 48 hours per year to be used without giving any reason. Ohter associates are friendly.

Cons

Be careful if injured at work because Amcare has people who should not be there. They, like HR try and convince you injury is not work related when it is clearly the case. There are many injuries due to the repative nature of pickers and packers. Poor training - especially in packing department. Your rate is based on units/hr which you cannot control. Support for supplies and work to maintain rate is poor at best. Integrity employees are held to a higher standard than Amazon direct employees. if you hope to be converted from temp to direct you better maintain rate - no exceptions. integrity management follows its temps like hawks -hovering over them. I was hired as direct and glad I avoided Intergrity. Pick and pack rates vary on product quantity and management seems to care less about that fact. There are reasons rates fall beyond the associates control -but they could care less. If they think they can keep up -they are welcome to try but few can. I have seen new temps send items down the line in packing and I have never seen such sloppy work. Integrity needs to get their act together. Amazon should find another agency to manage temps.

Pros

- Customer Obsession - Startup Values - Agile Style - Invests into the future - Great business exposure

Cons

Following is all about the Bangalore Centre (may be different in other centres) - Poor employee respect and care - Artificially high standards of promoting employees - Management does not care about employees work life balance(in-fact folks promote working on the weekends) A lot of energy is spent in perception management. Employees in India have to keep proving and showing that they are as good as their US counterparts.
