Pros

Having been unemployed for a significant period of time it was refreshing to be hired immediately by Amazon at their mass hiring event here in Phoenix. There is job security in this position if you meet the required expectations of your position. This is not that difficult a task if you are willing to "work hard". We are making history as the prototype for all other FCs (Fulfullment Centers) and at the same time we try to have fun. Sometimes this can be difficult with the amount of work that is expected to be achieved during the course of a day but that's the nature of business. Overall it has been a good experience and I am hopeful that the opportunities will be afforded to me as I continue with the company.

Cons

With this being a new facility, much of the staff is unseasoned and often times subject to "on the job training". The communication is generally good but can sometimes be slow in forthcoming. The communication during the Advancement process is minimal and generally the applicant has no idea as to where they are at in this process.

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.
