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.
Pros and Cons
Great benefits, good work/life balance, terrific coworkers
Too much virus going around

Sort Center Associate
Crest Hill, IL - January 19, 2022
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.
Pros and Cons
We had paid break time for 20 minutes.
Scanning packages was uneventful after awhile. There also slow periods at times.

Inbound pallet dock
Lakeland, FL - January 11, 2022
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
Pros and Cons
Everything is bad, they don’t respect the associated, we are just a number.
Everything es bad

Process Assistant
Edison, NJ - January 10, 2022
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.
Pros and Cons
The pay if your willing to work over 40hrs
There's no union so expect to be fired whenever they feel the need to do so.

Human Resouce Administrator/Communication Partner
Easton, PA - January 4, 2022
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.
Pros and Cons
Overtime, extra pay on holidays, great benefits and pay
Easily discarded, everything is micromanaged, their Leadership Pinciples are a facade. es

Associates need more recognition. They are worked hard throughout the day and are never acknowledged for it.
Pros and Cons
Pay increases
Long hours, short breaks

Package Handler
Rockville, MD - December 9, 2021
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.
Pros and Cons
Short term solution for a difficult moment
Too many bias in many respects

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.
Pros and Cons
Great hours
Cold warehouse

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..
Pros and Cons
Insurance on day one, Feels like home
Parking in Handicap Reserve spots without a permit.

Davenport, FL - November 18, 2021
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
Pros and Cons
friendly office, free coffee or tea, safety security
parking lot is too small

Fresno, CA - November 9, 2021
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.
Pros and Cons
Free lunch on holidays, getting recognized, and getting new friends
Well parking sucks if your not there early and some of the food sucks

Returns Associate
Shepherdsville, KY - November 5, 2021
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.
Pros and Cons
healthcare benefits
work environment, pressure to produce at increasing rates.

Sortation Associate
Rockville, MD - October 30, 2021
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!
Pros and Cons
No any pros at all !
Very low salary !

Warehouse Worker
Wallingford, CT - October 16, 2021
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
Pros and Cons
Extra perks for certain jobs, holiday pay
Parking privileges were always changing and then they had a shuttle and the drivers weren’t nice
