Amazon Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked for Amazon for a short period of time, however while I was there they had lots of benefits offered your first day. Work/life balance was a good 50/50. The work load is demanding but it’s worth the work."

"Amazon is a good company, that provides great benefits and room to advance in the company. One negative aspect I've seen is the rampant changes in supervisors. I was employed under a six month contract and had four new supervisors. It made me wonder if their workload was too much, or did they simply advance in the company. The supervisor's were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to assist."

"I work for this company for almost 2 years ,they have a lot of change in management, and bring people with no experience or manners. Peolple who don’t like to work as a team."

"I have worked for Amazon for a few months and overall they are not a bad company. It is a safety-first driven environment with friendly faces all over. My only major complaint is that management is mainly focused on meeting their production numbers instead of helping associates move up in the company."

"It’s a good job for those with a driver’s license and looking to get into the job market. Good first full time job"

"I worked for Amazon as a Seller Support Associate for over a year and a half. During my time there I learned many new things and was introduced to many new people. Although there were a handful of things that were confusing and frustrating overall it was a great experience."

"I've worked for Amazon for 2 years and they are hard working. I contribute to having a healthier state of working areas by always making sure the employees are satisfied. It's a warehouse job so I couldn't use my full potential. If I get this career change I will not disappoint your company."

"Working for Amazon was, if not the best job I ever had. Amazon always made sure I was well taken care of. The benefits were good, and everyone had an overall positive attitude. Even when we got busy, the management team always had things under control. There was never a dull moment, with the people I worked with. I believe this to be the main reason why the company has done so well over the years. They believe customers and employees are a top priority."

"Working in an Amazon warehouse environment you need to have all appropriate wear before clocking in. These are required before entering the floor. Your safety vests to help visibility for vans and others, hair above shoulders, comfortable shoes, name badge, gloves in order to properly handle packages and extensive stretching before starting. As an Amazon Delivery Station worker, you should be prepared for shifts that: walk/ stand the entire time, carrying packages the size of an envelope to an oversized 50-pound box throughout the shift, walking an average of 10 miles daily, and learning the different functions in the warehouse. Though this position has the same functions daily to be prepared to adapt according to the daily warehouse needs. As a DLV1 worker, your main functions are stowing packages, being a catcher, diverter, inductor, unloader, water spider, and problem solve area. The warehouse has fun activities to reward workers monthly such as providing lunch or snacks. Full-time workers receive healthcare benefits."

"It was a very simple job. 10 hrs a day for 5 days. Pays decent and the benefits like medical and dental were amazing. It can get stale but the people there were friendly and can make the day go faster."

"Amazon is a great workplace for learning and also provides a work-life balance. I must recommend joining the organization, to those who all are willing to join."

"I worked at Amazon from 2015 to 2019. It is a tough environment with constant pressure to perform and improve. Not a place for the faint of heart. However, I also worked with some of the most advanced technology and the most brilliant people I have ever met. The compensation is good, but the hours required are long. 70+ hours per week are not atypical for a Senior Operations Manager."

"I work for Amazon at a local sorting warehouse and have found the job very vigerous, yet a great workout! I have met some amazing people and find that this posistion is ever changing which is great for me. I would recommend Amazon and the local warehouses for part time work as they are currently paying the highest part time hourly at $15 an hour. I have very much enjoyed my time with Amazon."

"Awesome company, great learning environment and always collaborating while having many fun experiences all across global teams! If you like adventure then this is the place for you! There is never a dull moment and you will always be challenged in a good way!"
