Pros

-Good benefits -The basic warehouse jobs are easy to get without prior experience -Easy to make new friends at work -You can pick either the day shift or night shift, depending on your preferences -Working for 4 days instead of 5 was nice because I enjoyed having 3 days off

Cons

-Had to carry heavy bins too often. As a woman, asking for help to lift things constantly is a major drawback. I wanted to be able to do my job mostly on my own. -Amazon's quotas can be unrealistic to meet -Doing the same things day after day gets boring after a while and having basic jobs like inventory count or stow doesn't add much skills to your resume that would appeal to other jobs if you want something better in the future.

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.
