Pros

The best reason to work at Amazon is that it provides very good benefits to its full-time and part-time employees such as dental, medical, eye-care, and 401K. The managers are friendly but they are assertive because they are determined to perform well and maintain a safe environment. The work they ask the associates for is something that anyone can reasonably get done without getting themselves injured if they conduct the work safely as they are instructed in their training. The warehouse that I work in doesn't ask for too much for one person to do and the majority of the tasks are fairly attainable to do since no one is being pushed to work to their limits nor are any associates are evaluated on their performance. If they physically are not able to do the work they are asked to do then managers can provide alternative work and accommodations to those who need it.

Cons

Some of the downside of working at Amazon is you could be surrounded by a lot of associates who are not ambitious or motivated to do the simple and attainable tasks that the managers require them to do. Since there are a lot of unmotivated workers, it could be very easy to get sucked in to the negative mindset of being lazy and unmotivated as well. They don't really do a background check or interview process when it comes to hiring Amazon warehouse associates which is something I wish they did because it bring more motivated individuals who can bring more to the table at the site that I'm working in.

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.
