Pros
benefits immediately, personal/unpaid time given when in need to come to work late/leave early or even miss a day, etc.
Cons
NO JOB SECURITY! Unfair work practices and harsh treatment of it's employees. Information needed to do your job daily varies between managers and if for any reason miscommunication becomes a issue and task can't be completed then the associate is left responsible. They have this conveniently set up to make sure they can ALWAYS have a "reason" to fire people. You don't get your full breaks which is against the law! We don't have a union and if we even think about trying to get one they will fire you. This is also illegal. Doesn't matter if you work hard; you'll be FIRED soon. Management will lie through their teeth and conveniently leave out information just to terminate you. Soon they will run out of people to rehire. They will lie about performance. They will lie about policy. They lie about needing doctor forms for XY&Z just to keep your job. They will make anything up then write you up for it, do not fall for it! Once those benefits come, you will never see them too much longer!! Instead of training you in multiple departments to find a fit for you, they expect you to excel in the position you're dictated to do. Human resources is also a huge joke. They do not care about the employees at all. If you are going to quit, make sure you at least give one week of notice. If you don't, you can never work for Amazon again. You better hope you enjoy where you are placed, because you are there for at least 90 days and /CANNOT/ transfer into another department.
