Pros

I was an intern here for six months, and being surrounded by people from places like Stanford, Booth and Ivy League schools was a bit daunting at first, but you quickly learn that this company is not hierarchical at all. On the contrary, it's a launchpad for anyone hungry to grow in responsibility and experience, since there is always opportunity lying around just waiting to be seized.

Cons

Finding time on people's calendars can be difficult, but the people are super helpful if you are able to meet with them. Amazon will take as much of your time as you give them, however, and oftentimes more, making work-life balance difficult to achieve for those with families, even with the work-from-hope option that's available.

Pros

i worked for SMX and I got converted to amazon at CVG3 in kentucky. People were aswome to work with, and the pay was pretty good. time off was semi convient. and if you were amazon blue badge you got what they call vcp pay, which is at the end of the month your second pay check.

Cons

Uh theres a lot of cons to go through that a lot of the others have already talked about. but my biggest problem that I've had there was the bs rate system, and they lied to us about how they judge the snow days by going through the node, with all the Kentucky plants and one night it was snowing real bad and they were talking about a lvl 3 snow emergency, which means we were stuck at work until it lowered but it nvr happened , but they wound up closing all the other plants because of the snow and friends and family that worked between the buildings passed the message to loved ones/ co-workers while they lied to us and told us they had no work.
