Pros

One of the highest paid, entry-level jobs in the area. Very flexible point-based UPT (Un-Paid Time) system for taking days off, as well as PTO (Paid Time-Off) and Vacation hours. Easy to learn No interview, just a one-time drug test. Lots of benefit options and insurances Yearly company-wide pay increases

Cons

Physically demanding work, lifting and moving up to 50lbs for 10 hours a day. Night-shift. Limited opportunities for advancement, unless you're willing to up-skill by returning to college with assistance from Amazon's Career-Choice program. MET (Mandatory Extra Time) is pretty common during busy times of the year, and you will be expected to work the extra days for up to several weeks at a time, with as few as 1 day off in between work-weeks.

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.
