Amazon Reviews
Rating 3.91 out of 5 666 reviews
There are so many reasons why Amazon is the best place I've worked at in all of my work career.
The best way to explain why will be to list them
1. Paid and Unpaid time off
2. Vacation time
3. Amazons Stock Purchase Program
4. 401k plus 50% of first 4% of eligible pay (Roth or pre-tax)
5. Education opportunities
- 100% tuition, fees and books paid for
- Apprenticeship opportunities and more
6. Constant giveaways, holiday events, team morale activities
7. Professional work environment
8. Great pay commensurate with work load
I'm not a mother but they have pods for pumping purposes and so many resources for families , mental health and so much more.
I haven't ever worked for a company doing so well financially that gives back as much as Amazon does. I am proud to be a part of history!

Keep to yourself and focus on the job. It seems like a high school speed dating event sometimes, but if you can get past that the job isn’t too bad. Easy to learn new departments.
Pros:
Simple/repetitive work
If you had the PTO or UPT you could leave/show up when you wanted
Managers were super cool
Break room is huge!
A new pop-up restaurant came to the lunchroom daily
Cons:
HR is not very helpful aside from time clock fixes
Coming back from leave of absence is incredibly difficult due to case managers being overwhelmed
There are 2 bathrooms per floor with 2 toilets each
No water provided
Pay deductions for not being able to perform at a constant pace. Varies based on which job you have. Being dextrose helps avoid that (Time off Task)

As an entry-level Area Manager (L4) for an Amazon Sort Center, I have enjoyed my time. Although the hours can be long and at strange times compared to other jobs, I feel fairly fulfilled in what I do and I always have the support I need. I would highly recommend this job to someone coming directly out of college looking for management experience!
