Pros

If you're lucky enough to be a permanent employee, pay and benefits are better than other opportunities for similar qualifications. 4 day work week is great, and so is overtime pay.

Cons

Most jobs at this level have rates that must be maintained, so the "make history" part of their slogan rides completely on the "work hard" of the entry level army. The jobs themselves are boring and repetitive, but not especially hard. Most associates come in as seasonal associates, working 60 hours during peak with no guarantees for afterwards. Also these are warehouse jobs, so some get very hot, and some spend 10 hours a day standing or walking on concrete floors.

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.
