Lots of favoritism - You have to really prove yourself to Ops - You have to be a self-motivator in proving yourself. - The training process is very vague and not well organized by learning. - Most of the training, you have to learn yourself. - Not a lot of recognition is noticed for your hard work. -Hr does not really help you, buts take on the Associates side when it comes to complaints. -Associates will find a way to fire you for any small behavior coming from Managers. - Some Managers got away with a lot worse than others that got fired.(such as harassment and flirting with associates, sleeping with hourly Hr Associates, and other managers got promoted to L5 by manipulating their SLI scores.) -Sr ops will find a way to get rid of you for not making progress in your department, whether its, 's complaints. -Amazon try and hide any complaints that were due to harassment, (for instance, An Associate got multiple complaints of sexual harassment and the facility was still letting them enter the building since they did not want to get sued for liability.

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.
