Pros

Great enterprenuerial environment where one can really make an impact on the business. Great co-workers who work hard at what they do. Input was actively solicited by Senior management and I felt that my opinion was valued and listened to.

Cons

Working in a fulfillment center prevented me from enjoying Christmas and Thanksgiving since that is the busy season. It was all hands on deck so I couldnt travel to see family. As the company has matured it was beginning to lose some of the laid back culture that it had. Very much a place where you are expected to jump in and contribute - the downside of this was there was not a lot of training - though there were resources for support

Pros

Excellent Starting Pay Company helps you to learn the system and supports you but you must make the first move. Communication is sometimes lacking with the reasons things are done. They attempt to motivate the employees but forgot that at times a "presence" and "good job" in person goes a long way. They are good at encouraging employees during peak periods but should also do this throught the year.

Cons

Very slow to promote to Amazon from the temp agency would rather wait and see how long you will tough it out. Let employees of the temp agency know if and when you are going to hire to Amazon. the information given by the temp agency is misleading at best.
