Never again - Investigations Manager Amazon Employee Review

There are a lot of cons. The encouragement of micromanaging, the use of scare tactics, the lack of communication, lack of transparency, the cult of personality. One of the worst things about TRMS in Cork is the complete lack of competent managers at all levels. There is a terrible clique of one L4 manager and several L5 managers that are implementing a call centre style of management to the department. This is primarily because it is all they know and therefore think that it works well in all situations. It doesn't and that is why the site is losing people on a weekly basis. There is also a metric for everything. As a manager you are given access to a dashboard that tracks your team members' performance in all areas. This is not a pro, it is a tool that is used to create a climate of fear. There is a Gantt chart that will show you how much of a robot someone is. There is also barley any recognition for achievements. If you do something well don't expect it to come up in your annual review.
