Pros

Good pay, bonus and stock options. Co is standard work focus and has great leadership principles. I believe in the company's future and innovation to change and become better and better.

Cons

Hires too many data smart folks and the job entails managing numbers on computer. 500+ emails a day - ridiculous; communication from Sr Managers is all via e-mail. Face to face is rare. Can't build trust and know your leaders via LED screens. Amazon lacks true leaders that motivate and drive performance. Little time to do what I know is right and engage associates - this is pushing me away from the company, but I believe in it, so I am personally struggling whether I will stay or not.

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

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.
