Pros
Is Amazon pay great? No. Is it fair? Yes. There are many things at Amazon that are good. I come from the oil and gas industry where I worked up to 110 hours per week, so the 60 hours max that they’ll let me work I can do standing on my head. I wish we could work more, however they don’t want you to. They want you to have life balance, which I understand. I am used to the high energy, high stress environment in which I thrive in that work environment. I have worked in similar environments for the last 20 years. Benefits are good, management cares, I have had nothing but total support from my management team, and good solid direction once I proved myself. I work hard for Amazon and Amazon works hard for me. Many career opportunities for advancement and sign on incentive is good. Many reviews speak of micromanaging, I however have not been micromanaged in the least. They turned me loose after training and said show me what you got. I enjoy working there even after walking up to 10 miles per day under one roof. You will be tired if you are supporting operations on the floor.
Cons
Not given the training aggressively enough for my liking. I want to learn it all yesterday and training comes with time. There is lots to learn and learning and retaining the knowledge is imperative to your success.
