Pros
Amazon is a customer centric company, which is always changing. Processes improve, associates have ample opportunity to move around and transfer. They also have the opportunity to be promoted in a short time. Amazon has fair pay with benefits and we are given stocks every year although they vest after 2 years. It's a fast paced environment with rates for each function. Associates are expected to perform multiple tasks, but honestly, there really is nothing difficult about the job. We want our associates to leave the same way they came to work at the end of the day, just a bit more tired. Safety is number one followed by quality. If you enjoy an environment that is constant changing and learning about lean manufacturing, then amazon may be for you. We have a culture that we stand by and 14 leadership principles that flood our floors. I have had some tough times, but if you take the time with this company, it will take you far. Amazon also offers a career choice program that helps associates pay for education. Amazon also has a fantastic mentor program, that allows associates the chance to develop themselves into future leaders.
Cons
Benefits were better in years past. Career choice should offer assistance with a BA not just associates degree. Hiring and developing the best doesn't always hold true. Amazon is a good company, but it has its faults just like any other company. I would recommend it.
