Pros

Good coworkers, young atmosphere, good base pay for sales, Amazon provides great name recognition

Cons

Huge letdown, overly and overtly political, toxic management, lack of loyalty from Amazon for its employees, concerns of employees are minimized and not addressed leaving negativity to fester, management has unrealistic expectations for sales goals without providing tools, asks sales people to hit a tough quota AND do a lot of side work and projects on top, management is disjointed, huge delusional egos at play, lack of follow through from management, management actually picks on employees, HR is a joke... could go on.

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.
