Pros

Good money for short time employment

Cons

Amazon has a quota of 5% that need to be let go for every manager. If you are new, chances are high that you will be selected to be put on a performance plan then let go. PIP is designed in a way for you to fail, you can try to pass like many people have but failure rate is over 90%.

Pros

Easy work for good pay. Lots of career advancement opportunity. Very luxurious compared to other warehouses and very forgiving.

Cons

Not a lot of bathrooms and when you're being time tracked for productivity it can be very difficult to find a time to comfortably go.

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.
