Pros

few things are positive about working at amazon i my opinion. the biggest thing for me was the people. some of the best people i have ever worked with was at this company. the pay is good if your trying t to rebuild cash and you have little to now expenses. you get hands on connections with management which can be a plus but take that with a grain of salt. advancement is super easy to achieve if you have just a lick of common sense which is both good and bad. on the up side you can move around from position to position easily.

Cons

read the pros and you will get the jest of things.

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

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.
