Pros

There is a great team atmosphere at Amazon.com, starting with upper management and trickling down to area managers to their teams.

Cons

Hours can seem long on days because job duties do not vary much. Summers can be difficult because of heat, but that comes with any large fulfillment center.

Pros

Excellent Starting Pay Company helps you to learn the system and supports you but you must make the first move. Communication is sometimes lacking with the reasons things are done. They attempt to motivate the employees but forgot that at times a "presence" and "good job" in person goes a long way. They are good at encouraging employees during peak periods but should also do this throught the year.

Cons

Very slow to promote to Amazon from the temp agency would rather wait and see how long you will tough it out. Let employees of the temp agency know if and when you are going to hire to Amazon. the information given by the temp agency is misleading at best.
