Amazon - Air Associate AmazonAir Employee Review

- Great schedule - Flexibility with schooling - has daily pay available after your first pay week - great benefits

- overtime can be a lot during peak season

Great for ex military, fresh college grads. Anyone still looking to play corporate games. Benefits are affordable if you use them but no reimbursement or benefit if you don’t. Flexible somewhat with time off, mostly for unpaid but shift swaps don’t often work out. VERY diverse in every way, which makes the day more enjoyable-every gender, age, culture, background so don’t if you’re not down for that. You’re likely to hear 7 different languages during your break. A lot of food options, fresh, cooked, packaged, frozen, affordable. Day kitchen can be a mess, night kitchen chefs deserve raises, incredible cooks!

HR is eliminated on site, filters through AI app and your own manager-no issues with people will get resolved. No hiring since last November, except exempt management. All shifts were altered last year to spread while avoiding a 24hr operation but this is extremely unhealthy and doesn’t allow much coordination for education or kid’s schedules. Several instances in my time there of federal and state labor Law violations-but it’s Amazon so good luck. No coffee available before the 430am shift starts. Bathrooms are far between, often full, often with the actual cleaning crew. They kick you out to clean every day-very frustrating! Lots of immature, drama, lazy, first job type people. And they’ll almost never be fired or reprimanded. Many hide from work in the large building while reliable people get questioned, reprimanded, moved to harder work. Efficiency and effectiveness has never been an Amazon way. You learn to get thick skin and take your paycheck as suggestions and requests for supplies and process changes fall on deaf ears-I watched many managers leave due to this as well. Experience, knowledge, etc mean nothing. The color of your vest (red) is your only chance at being heard otherwise you just do your shift. No growth is supported unless you want to be a PA but the expectations on them vary by department although their pay is the same. Better money if you finish degree or get leadership elsewhere and get hired in from outside the company, climbing the ladder keeps your pay low. One or 2 demographics and backgrounds dominate management heavily.
