Pros
The benefits at Amazon are fabulous: Great health insurance almost completely paid for by the company, stock, 401K, monthly bonuses based on building success. Amazon is never boring for those in a role above that of Warehouse Associate or in a support role. Things are always changing to meet the needs of the customer and it is always challenging.
Cons
Amazon is experiencing phenomenal growth, still, while other companies may or may not be finally bouncing back in this economy. One of the problems they face, however, is that they have not paid enough attention to succession planning in the company. Amazon is crying for people to fill managerial and leadership roles because they haven't been raising up leaders from the warehouse level upward. The only thought to succession has been from an Area Manager or Ops Manager level upward.
