Pros
- Great benefits, including dental and vision, at a reasonable price. - Plenty of opportunity for voluntary time off during the slower months. - Literally ANYONE can get a job here.
Cons
- Back-breaking work weeks during Peak Season (November-December) and in the lead-up to Prime week (June/July). - Little opportunity for advancement. - While some coworkers are decent people, the vast majority of Amazon's workforce is comprised of the absolute dregs of society. Expect to interact with junkies and criminals on a daily basis. - Ridiculous rules that have no bearing on job performance. - Complete lack of empathy from middle management. - Bait and switch "incentives" like the Variable Compensation Program that rarely deliver what recruiters advertise.
