Pros

Stocks Benefits Learning new skills Overtime pay Safety focused

Cons

Senior leadership doesn't communicate with or respect their associates. HR doesn't help the people, just the company. Amazon only cares about their bottom line. No way to get promoted above tier 3 unless you have BA and there is no college reimbursement. Cap off pay. Management curses at each other and associates. The only punishment for harassment is a "write-up".

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
