Amazon

All managers are very friendly and very easy to talk to. The other associates are very helpful too. Amazon benefits are great and wonderful...

Working in the Austin fulfillment center is like working in an ideal world where people from various countries, races, ethnicities and religions work together and have fun interacting with each other on the job.

I met some nice people at this job. I worked in the warehouse facility scanning and sorting packages. It was a 5 hour shift, and I was able to change my shift hours after so many months being at Amazon.

Working at Amazon was a great way to feel like you were making a difference in your community. The coworkers were great.

I have a physical injury and amazon took me out of work without any kind of consideration and without any kind of warning beforehand. They just went to me to tell me you can't work here with restrictions anymore, when your restrictions change you can come back. My injury is not a joke, I have a back injury. And my only restrictions were not to lift more than 20 pounds, and not to work more than 8 hours a day. When this medical accommodation situation will be handled through a manager in charge of my case. They did not give me any documents. They had no empathy, ethics, or profedionalism. I am a totally single single mother in the state of Florida. I need to provide support for my daughters. And I can say that I am one of the best employees, I have never had a report, they have never caught my attention, I always do my job with great satisfaction. But for amazon especially TPA2

I was fired because another associate said i threaten them, I've never had a complaint or issue but because an associate was threaten by me and lied, i was out of a job, so my advice find a job that has a union, there's no future in Amazon.

I decided to look for a part time job and well Amazon came knocking!!! It was a full time job day one full benefits...... I really didn't need a full time job but I started and loved it!!! The reason for getting a job was because I needed to lose weight.... 3 months later I lost 40 pounds!!! Needless to say 4 yrs later I'm still here!!!

For a person who is willing to work, it can be a really good job. Great pay, amazing benefits, starting day one. However, safety is not a top priority for the company, and neither is their ability to work through the hierarchy. If an associate needs assistance with anything HR related, things seem to fall through the cracks. There is also, alot of back and forth with the Employee Resouce Center regarding all important documents. It can be frustrating for an employee, as no one lays claim, it is just passed back and forth. Also, please know that regardless of hardwork they are quick to dismiss an employee rather than retrain into another department. Everyone there is no more than a number, easily replaced.

Associates need more recognition. They are worked hard throughout the day and are never acknowledged for it.

Honestly, after around two years working there, I don't keep good memories of my stay. A lot of cronyism, those working hard are not recognized while the lazing ones who are making friends with the managers are rewarded. But, it can be interesting if you want something to keep you busy while searching for a better occupation. Their scholarship is limited to a list of fields, which I found very weird. I am just trying to be factual. So, it is up to anyone and depends on the situation where you are.

I enjoyed working for the most part, training needs to be improved. Supervisors should be a little bit more understanding. I have fun working there when the equipment was working and I wasn't yelled at by the supervisors.

I wanted more growth and professionalism , before coming to this great employer. Working for Amazon brings acceptional growth along with leadership. Everyone works as a Team, not as infividuals who knows it all..

It was a great experience working there, the supervisors and the staff in general are great, but I think they should improve the policies when assigning positions since I think they do not give many opportunities to climb positions within the organization

Honestly, I liked working there, I would definitely work for them again. The fixable shifts or prefect for mother’s.

Out on the phone with the customer and I was on another website instead of the website and the customer was talking about which was Amazon and I got in trouble or not terminated for it

It fun working there I never thought I would make friends there when I first worked there. I wanted to be the best person there to make everyone laugh and to have a good time with me too. You get support with your manager and your team that you just met there. On the plus side there is always something to do there and you can always learn something else there if they train you. It’s a great place to work at.

I truly loved working at amazon when I was working mornings on parting shift but warning don’t do night shit because they will over work you that’s why I resigned but other then that I wouldn’t mind working for Amazon again

if you want to be slave and quota driven . its the place for you . Cranbury is better than other locations

The work environment has changed over the years. Turnover is a major problem as there is a constant influx of new employees. I say turnover because all of the workstations have been filled for at least the last 3 years, so the influx of new employees has to be to replace those that have left. The day job starts at 6 am and is scheduled for 10 hours standing on your feet examining product returned by customers. Sometime in the last 3 years Amazon has been contracting with other vendors to process returns which increases the workload. At the beginning it was mostly shoes, now, I would estimate mostly clothes. There is subtle pressure to pass items as sellable even though many have been previously worn for an occasion. Women's formal dresses lead this category.

Worked here for a month. When they don’t know you they don’t say nothing once your own everything is your fault.

I have never known who exactly was my manager, and never gotten the assistance i was looking for. I had a surgery on my right hand thumb at the time and had hard time to pick up heavy boxes, so I took sometime off from work upon the recommendation and a sick leave note from the doctor. However, no body took care of that and I had a lot of missing hours accumulated which forced me to voluntarily retire from the job; it was really disastrous and it was not worth at all working there ! Even at this moment, I see a lot of people are complaining about the whole working situation and specially the payment ! It is time for Mr. Bezos and all the rest of the management crew wake up and take care of their employees. Mr. Bezos has been increasingly criticized for his fancy and costly travel to the space while he has never contributed to the millions of problems that the world is facing at this particular moment. He is really ignorant, and what he is doing absolutely a absurd and ridiculous!

I enjoyed working with Amazon and meet a lot of people from different backgrounds. It’s hard work but you also have fun.

Bottom line it's not safe the workload is off the charts they just don't care wouldn't recommend anyone to work there

I got fired for complaining about the van not working properly I sued and won wrongful termination the following month another driver drove the van only to be stranded in Sonoma ca

I started in November 2018. And a week later my grandmother passed away and they were so accommodating and patient with me. The managers and other higher up staff were very good some more than others. I went on leaveMarch 2020 when the pandemic started because of my step daughter being home for school. And was on leave until June and then ended up having to resign in august because of school being remote

I was hired immediately after had just got done moving a whole other state. I was pregnant at the time and the managers were very understanding and helpful throughout my entire rest of my pregnancy. I met a lot of amazing co workers who were also very helpful and I’ve just love working here and I’ve never had a dull moment since I’ve started !

They pay and benefits are good, but they work you like slaves, and they don’t give you an opportunity for growth, to change shifts or positions.

Flexible schedule. Productive hands on learning experience. A bit labor intensive. Mixed culture environment. No discrimination zone.

Great place to work . I love working there . You don’t know how good you have until it’s gone. I wish I could go back !!!

Amazon was a fun place to work,However the inconsistency of work. Their was work it just would start and stop after we've picked and packed everything.

I love supporting and helping customers resolve the issues. I’ve been a customer service with simply for 20 plus year working at Amazon Teleperformance Comcast and also grocery stores like wise in progress’s

I’m not gonna go deep into details but besides pay and benefits Amazon was awful I would 0 star some of those if I could, the shifts were extremely long especially in peak season 11 hour and 30 minute night shifts was just the worst. Plus a 30 minute drive back and forth then eating something and showering after the shift. After that the sun was up after sleeping barely 8 hours you have to run out the door back there, it’s like you have no time off even break times are short.

Came in through staffing agency. Took 3 years to get a rause and the raise was disgusting!!!! No growth for anyone here ,Amazon always hiring personal with some sort of degree but with NO warehouse experience.

I was there for a year and saw alot pf scary thing i wouldnt send an enemy to work there. Safy was poor the work is hell and the managers are cruel

Professional working environment Great people Good team workers Good salary Fun while working ,learning environment

Worked 4 years, enjoyed my job until 1 am moved up to senior and continued to try and get me fired 3 times that i beat. I reported it to upper management and was fired against company policy.

Well I mean I do wanna go back there cause I was making a lot of money n working overtime but it’s a real good place

If you like to stay busier than you’ve ever been or experiencing change constantly it’s your place to work. Pay and benefits are great. My immediate manager was a great guy. Challenged me often. Taught me a lot and was a great guy to just talk to. He and I still chat and I’ve been gone 4 years. You will learn a lot. You will be challenged often. You will discover your strengths and weaknesses

I worked as an financial analyst collections. I've received appreciations and recognitions and as I got a very fun loving team I got to support in every strand. Working in Amazon is the best as we also have so much of freedom to work the way we want to. All they need is to complete the work on time and deliver on time which I think is very important to support the business in growing positively.

No communication HR department in App ask for days off because I got sick of Covid. Constantly threats of me getting fired because my using bathroom and I only had six minutes to do it. Other than that the pay was good but ours were good. And they make you do overtime even if you can’t

I worked for amazon from 2018-2020 and had to go on various leaves due to injuries. Prior to my first injury I busted my rear working for them, and they would only talk to me when I did something wrong or messed up bad. You are given PTO, UPT And vacation time, UPT , or unpaid time off, was used a few nights in a row because I had to go to the hospital. The next shift.i worked I was called into the main office and was given a final written warning for not being at work even though they were the ones to call the ambulance. Further more I was in college while working for them in 2018-2019 they tell you during orientation that they encourage you to prioritize your studies and will work with you to do so. WRONG! they refused to accommodate me with my school schedule and instead told me "work is your priority. It's not our fault you chose to schedule your classes when you work." Oh one more thing to end this off, do not work for them if you have any sort of mental disorder.

Free food lunches for my work team workers and I. They've been doing a wonderful job here in the Amazon place of business

This company has become a great place for everyone all over the world to build up their starting goal. If you start to work here the pay, benefits everything is awesome and still they going to pay for your study after a year. This is totally a great company to work with safe and secure.

The people I work with are wonderful! Very warm working conditions. Too big of an operation. Employee's are just a number unfortunately.

i like working at Amazon. The only thing I don't like is they volunteer and resigned me. I.I'm ready to go back to Amazon.

There was lots of potential for growth, unfortunately management was only taking care of the preferred ones that came with the manager.

worst place to work ever. they treat you like a slave they will lie to you about promotions to get you to do things for them that they would normally pay someone else more to do. they call for overtime every week but never have work for people. the management has no ides what they are doing they just wing it every day. verbally mistreat employs. physically over work them and dont care at all about the physical health of employs.

Working for Amazon was a great experience. The time and training that you receive learning how to serve and support customers are second to none. I was there for eight months and worked in three different departments. You had to make constant adjustments and learn new systems and procedures. The managers are very supportive and work with you to help you learn.

I got hired through peak season and I was down on the floor with barely any training and no one helped me or helped assist me with anything I was consistently called back to the dock for consistently having problems with my pallets but never any assistance or any help in any form… However there was only one person that was extremely understanding and attentive to my concerns and that will be Zak he was a manager and he worked at the plant prior.

Amazon is a good place to work but just like other companies, they got some issue that needs to be fix and if you want to have a career amazon is not the place. Nonetheless, i just need a change... that's all

Only take a promotion to this team if you're already looking for another job. This was unbelievably stressful with no relief whatsoever. There is no advancing above this position due to absolutely unreasonable performance expectations.

Great people, diverse culture and atmosphere. Worked long hours with hard labor, I don't feel like the compensation was enough. Everything else was great!

My only observation is that the work was fulfilling and strenuous. My age was my only impairment which ultimately led to my resignation. When I got the job I was not given any opportunity to select my path. And although there’s plenty of jobs less strenuous I never had any opportunity to get them…

It's a good journey working at amazon to getting recognized by one in the world. Eceryone is nice.

I was a Stower for Amazon they had me working long hours and getting paid an OK amount they didn’t care about their employees I really got to talk to my supervisor in fact it was really hard for me to find out who my supervisor was they treat their employees horribly their time stamps and all that is just horrible and they don’t work with you well

I was let go after 5 years of employment. I was to receive stock in the next three weeks! I developed Neuropathy in my whole body. It took me 2 years to get this condition under control. What with medicine, physical therapy, and Posterior Spinal Segments! They just didn't care about me as a person!

Hours are very long and on your days off they still expect managers to get on calls For meetings even if it is your day off

Working at Amazon was very fun and beneficial for me at the time . Great benefits but they were not willing to try to work with me on scheduling.

Cut throat, blue falcons. Managers who do not care about you. Political promotions. If you are entry level, it’s a decent place to work to get your feet wet, but I do not recommend them for a long term career.

Worst job I’ve ever had. They expect you to be a superhuman, we had to unload trucks full of 50 lb boxes on a time limit as well as unpack and put them on the line by doing 75 in an hour

This place is on the verge of slavery. The physical demands of the job are contradictive to the liberal that runs this corporation.

One of the best places to work minus the revolving door of management. Encouraged to think big try new ideas and implement them if they work. Team building could use help and becoming one instead of separate groups needs worked on. Management would make a huge impact on this if it was a stable management team

I loved Picking for the fact I got to move around, got my exercise and wasn't stuck in one location all day😊

As an international conglomerate it is a good place to start if you have driving ambition Amazon is a good place to start where you can move on to bigger and better things I was there for over a decade it served its purpose that's why I retired

Started as a seasonal associate (white badge). Then conversion opened you still have to do drug screening prior to conversion, once cleared benefits day 1.(blue badge). Amazon.com is not for everyone. So If you are a slacker and don't like to work hard dont apply. Fast paced environment,Prime member get items either overnight or 2 days. So mgrs always need all associates to work with a sense of urgency.

Working at Amazon wasn't really the best experience. There was no benefits available to me, or at least from what I was aware of i was not informed about much. I work there for about half a year and was not thoroughly trained nor did I understand my job functions. Basically was set for failure before I even started. I had to learn from the other employees on how to do my job. Meeting rate caused major issues to my physical health and was draining. I even work while I was sick, because of fear of being let go. Towards the end of my time there I wanted to go back to school, so I asked if it were possible to go part-time. The response from one of the higher ups "You have to choose work here or go to school." They didn't give me any other option.

I had problems with my phone download information. They were very helpful. very fast scheduling for drug test.fast information back through email.start date, where wnd when.

I would never work for Amazon again, last manager and his PA were unprofessional. They would never take responsibility for what was happening in their area

Working at Amazon was my dream job. I had applied to Amazon three times before I was hire. The day was quick any easy.

They work humans as if they were robots. I do not recommend the risk of losing out on work life balance and the ridiculous demands of the job.

If you aren’t Superman or Wonder Woman with the best immune system in the world DO NOT work here. You’re only allowed to be sick/miss a shift twice in the span of three months before they give you more UNPAID time. I worked 40 hours a week/4 days a week back to back. They only give you 20 hours of unpaid time & that’s supposed to stretch from jan - april. Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling well & I was very vocal to my manager that stood and watched me almost THROW UP on her one morning. Same for HR & the “AMCARE” people who have the power to send people home/excuse their time. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR HEALTH. They only care about you clocking in to bust your butt for 10 hours straight & going about your day. For gods sake you can’t even go to the bathroom without being timed & punished for it. It’s considered Time Off Task (TOT) they terminate you when you reach a certain amount. You feel like a slave & you’re not recognized for the hard work you do for others ordering items.

I started the job as a temp receiver, after 2 weeks I was a direct hire into the Problem Solving position . Left after abusive treatment to me & others.

I loved working with Amazon remotely. Nice environment. Everybody in the Team was very helpful and supportive. Great pay and Benefits. flexible hours.

I work there a while ago and found the people very friendly and we had a good team working with us. I learned a lot while working there.

Everything was fine accept when I help this gentleman phones weren't allow on the floor I held it for him untill he return .he didn't came to retrieve his phone and I got accuse of stealing I got and was set up!

Good place to work. Peak seasons are really tough but lots of overtime which is good money which is good money.

I don’t have much to say about Amazon but it’s a good job if you like to work your ass off and get no appreciation for it

Do not work here it's a horrible environment. I will never go back to work for them. The management is awful and they work you into the ground. They don't pay enough especially for the stress that they put an employee through.

Individuals are treated as a number rather as a human. The entire organization’s structure is strictly done by the metrics.

Amazon is a fantastic company. What they do and achieve every day is simply incredible. If you work on the front line, you will acquire great experience, innovate and complete great projects, increase your skill set and become a top-notch employee. But, if you work on the company's operational side, including warehouses, fulfilment centers, and work staffing, you will be well paid but experiencing misery, stress and be asked to stay up 24/7. You will have no ability to innovate and bring your genius. Besides, upper management does not respect and support their team, and as a result, there is no teamwork. The leadership principles that they are proud of are being ignored. It was a huge disappointment to experiment with such an experience. There is a huge contrast between what they say they are and what they do effectively.

It was great money and benefits and I meet a lot of great people there. Management picked and choose. It’s also hard to move up.

Started in 2015 as a packer then i moved to do other things in the department which was a rebiner a inductor then i became a ambassador. Which i could train all new employees,transfered to ship dock then became a seasonal Process assistant then i advanced to a process assistant to another building in 2018 then in 2020 i came to Acy2 where i am a Process Assistant.
