Pros

Could take days off whenever whenever without permission as long as you had time built up in your "time bank"... they did provide good health insurance and pay for the job.

Cons

People abused their time and you'd get screwed over with barley anyone there to help on holidays- you have to make up for a lack of coworkers. There was also a lot of turnover... Amazon also said they werent political but... the company clearly seemed to lean to the left. Also the suck ups always got promoted- hard work didn't amount for anything... it's all about the interview and THAT'S it. HR also controlled everything (like gods)... really weird... never dealt with a company before where HR had so much power as to whether you stay employed or are terminated and can override any manager.

Decent place to work

Pros

Good pay. I work night shift so I get a $2.40 premium on top of the base $15/hour. Only work 3 days a week. Management is very lenient. Overall it's a decent place to work. You have the opportunity to pick up extra shifts if you wish to do so.

Cons

None of the online resources, such as pay stubs and benefits, are accessible. Apparently the websites are down. The ADP link says it hasn't been updated since March. Work long boring hours. Bad on my feet. Can't find the HR department.

Pros

Pay got better per hour(15, but it caps at 15.25), 20 hours of unpaid time per 3 months, 48 hours PTO, 40-80 hours vacation (first year 40). Good medical benefits.

Cons

Monthly performance bonus and stock awards eliminated, performance goals constantly go up and most positions are performance tracked on the computer system so if you go to the bathroom, management knows and your numbers go down. Most managers are looking to write you up if you are gone for more than 10 minutes or don't let them know, despite their claims to the media of not penalizing you for bathroom breaks or requiring you to ask permission. You are just a cog in the machine and they want you to be robots. As soon as they can replace you with a robot (and they are constantly testing new machines for this purpose) you will be replaced. You feel dead at the end of the day (4 ten hour days, 10 minute breaks with long walks to get to break location or bathroom). After 4+ years I was making the cap of $13.25 then the raise came of $15 base wage company wide, yet my tenure increase was only .25. So a new person would only make 25 cents less than someone like me with 4+ years at company. Feels like a stab in the back. There's not much chance to move up the ladder since so many apply for management positions and the wage is capped essentially from the start, so it's a dead end job where you need to be like a robot. Jeff Bozos only cares about his space company.
