Pros

The easiest warehouse you'd ever work in. The benefits are great. They pay for bereavement. Depending on your'd building, there are a lot of rewards. A bachelor's degree is required for management... Great for college grads.

Cons

Its possible that if you get hired at the wrong time, you'll miss out on advancement opportunities. You don't get your vacation time up front, and it takes quite a while for it to accrue. You're prone to getting a jerk manager due to frequent role swaps. It gets boring doing the same thing everyday, and tiring. Its a zoo during the holiday season. No tuition assistance to help you better yourself. You give yourself to the company but the company will not consider your future.

Pros

The pay was most definitely a plus especially in this hard of times. The only other thing that was at all positive were the people that worked there.

Cons

I normally never write reviews for anything, especially jobs, but this is required. Amazon does not care about any individual employee, they act like they do to your face, until all of a sudden 30 people are all 'terminated' at once, for no reason whatsoever. People who had worked there for 15 years sometimes longer and some who started from the ground up with them and worked there for a year to three years. They just let you go with no word or explanation, they are outsourcing all of their jobs, so why did they need to build a new building? Because they are selfish. I refuse to even buy anything from the site anymore because of how I was treated as an employee and after I was treated after I was 'terminated'. They do not deserve the praise that they get, and they sure do not deserve the business they get. From working behind the scenes I know, without a shadow of a doubt that they do everything for themselves and nothing for the customer. Customer's were so unhappy about things but they just did not care, and still don't. Everyone currently working there or thinking about working there need to watch out, they are next, for no reason at all they will be left without a job, with bills to pay for and no money. Run far far away from Amazon!!!
