Pros

- Autonomy to learn and try new things. - Exposure to all facets of HR, really doing Generalist work after some time. - Working in a Fulfillment Center, you will encounter situations you would never expect and can never prepare for. This creates great stories to draw from when looking to move up/out. - RSUs with AMZN are really fun :) - If you are comfortable moving, there are openings across the world after you have some experience with the company. Major perk of working for such a quickly growing company.

Cons

- Unique hours - working Sunday-Wednesday, Wednesday-Saturday, also possibly overnight supporting a 24/7 operation. Pretty good working 4 10 hr days but you can be put on any shift and moved at any time. - FC Production Employees are a challenging population to deal with from an ER side. - Very steep learning curve. You will hear "Learn by Doing" a lot and they mean it. Took me about 8 months before I really felt comfortable and like I was actually good at my job.

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.
