Pros

Salary and development. 1. Increased Sales The chief draw of selling on marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay is the scale of their online presence. Amazon alone draws nearly 85 million unique monthly visitors - that’s a heck of a lot of eyeballs! And those eyeballs can translate into higher sales volumes. According to an Amazon executive, sellers report an average 50% increase in sales when they join Amazon Marketplace.

Cons

3 years of program - If you have experience, maybe this is not the position. Setting up shop on a marketplace can potentially supercharge your sales, but it also exposes you to another cost center - marketplace fees. Most marketplace fees are deducted as a percentage of each sale, and can vary from site to site and even category to category.

Pros

Good company tenants. Great diversity of talented people. Possibility to advance and or change roles within company.

Cons

Politics can be an issue, depending on where you land. However, I would say less so than other huge companies.

Pros

Day one benefits for direct hires. Constant feedback on a job well done leads to an environment and culture of positive re-enforcement.

Cons

Shifts require you to be on your feet for long hours, in some cases spent walking the entire warehouse. Due to mass hirings during peak time congestion and overcrowding can be an issue.
