Working at Amazon in Lexington, KY: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Lexington, KY Area

"Amazon will pay you a lot of money, but will also treat you like a pile of garbage. Amazon employees have almost no rights as far as their job is concerned."

"Amazon Jr IT support is a good starting place for an IT career in the corporate world. However, you end up starting as a Tier 3, which the pay range starts at 12.00 - 15.00. In order to move past that you must become a Sr IT. There are a variety of Tier 3 employees and many do not have skills like the IT dept has. Jr IT is a good stepping stone but from perspective of having a trade, it's almost insulting to be getting paid the same as someone who doesn't have a skill."
