Pros

I worked with Adecco seasonal and short term staffing agency. Amazon.com paid $11 per hour, which was great. Everyone was cool. The management was excellent. The safety policies were amazing. There is no way you should get hurt there, because it is very well organized. They have suggestion boards, awards they give out, good security etc. Also had good conflict resolution department.

Cons

Just a few corporate policies that irked me. 15 minute breaks. To me that is too short. I would have to choose between eating a snack or going to the bathroom or getting water etc. Personally I am not used to being treated like a kid. If I need 2 or 5 minutes extra on a break I want to take that. I hated the 15 minute breaks. Often clocks didn't work, soap dispensers in bathroom didn't always work. Need to fix and or add some microwaves.

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.
