Night shifts can be tough on families, and to keep moving up you will be on nights at some point

Horrible Management (Area Managers), very dirty warehouse

Cons

Where to begin. One of amazon's core leadership principles is "hire and develop the best," however, nothing could be further from the truth. Amazon likes to dangle a carrot on a stick over hourly associates with empty promises of growing with in the company. I wont lie, at first I drank the Kool-Aid, but empty promises are nothing more but empty. Amazon will consistently hire fresh out of college managers, who possess no leadership experience to be nothing more but glorified mascots. For every 1 successful external hire there are 10 unsuccessful managers that ruin the already poor experience, which is surprisingly possible. All of the cons to hear on other reviews are TRUE. Work life balance is poor, there is no development, there is no training, associates are nothing more than numbers, operations managers cheat to artificially boost performance (throughput.) And finally when a few internal leads are promoted into leadership the offer is disrespectfully pathetic ($47,500 salary to work 14-16 hours a day up to 6 days a week during peak) which is about 10-20% lower than external hires. They feed you the total compensation Kool-Aid by showing you the 8 shares you receive after 2 years which if they don't work you to the bone first you'll actually manage to vest. Amazon is a JOB not a Career for most entry level associates and managers.The only way to change this is to stop accepting these pathetic offers from a company that netted 177 billion in 2017.

Cons

Associate retention. Un-kind way of communication from superior

Cons

Work/life balance, pay scale, promotional development

Cons

After working at two different warehouses, it's run by 20-year olds fresh out of college that are mostly the "know it all" types. And, when I say "run by" I mean the Area Managers and Operations Managers. In my experience, this is the worst part of the company, and the hardest part to deal with. These 20-year olds are gossipy, play favorites, and have very little in the way of actual leadership skills because this is their first job out of college. In my experience, the Tier 1s are a lot more mature than the AMs and OMs.

It's so hard to come to work every day and push the Tier 1s to get faster and faster at their factory job while still pushing them to keep quality errors at a minimum. The Tier 1s get sick of hearing about rates, and feel like they are constantly being told negative things.
