Amazon Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I have worked for Amazon Fulfillment and AMZL for 5 years starting in 2016. The work environment is very fast-paced and provides plenty of opportunity for advancement for those leaders that are up for the challenge. Overall a very positive work experience that provided great opportunities for leadership development and growth."

"Expectations are high so expect to work every minute. Breaks and lunches are good if you can find a table to eat at in the break room. Extremely physical and nonstop work. I was always dehydrated. Managers want numbers and are not interested in safety."

"Working at Amazon was a great experience for me. I'm grateful for the opportunity they've given me for all the years I've been there. I've learned and grown a lot there, the environment was also great. Good people with highly goal driven mentality. It was awesome being employed by such a great company but I chose to leave amazon to go back to school and become a Network Engineer"

"I've worked at the Amazon headquarters in Seattle, WA for 5 years. I've had the opportunity to work for really smart people, a lot of opportunity for career growth, and I'm always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. The culture is quick and hard charging. You are always working in relevant and meaningful projects. There are really well run teams and very badly run teams. The experience for most employees is all over the board, from really run low operational load teams to teams where people burn out after a year. Amazon is built, quite deliberately, to be Darwinian. The strong survive and the weak perish (metaphorically speaking) and the 'bar' is constantly increasing. The level of performance that would have been acceptable five years ago will get you canned today. It's a kind of crucible that'll help you develop a harder edge, if you can survive, that can serve you well in your career and in life, but it's often not a pleasant experience. Work/life balance is extremely difficult to find. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to work for just anyone. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies."

"Great customer-centric company"

"I've worked in the Amazon fulfillment center since 2017. The better you perform, the more chances you have in growing as an associate. The limitation on restroom usage is a bit of an issue, but other than that it is a good experience. You are able to apply as a manager even without a degree after working for over 2 years (which they count as equivalent to an undergrad degree) and apply internally."

"I've worked for Amazon Digital Goods. The team is innovative and engaging. There were a lot of transitions going on and I decided I would like to develop my programming skills in a different direction. I respect this company and the work I have done, I just needed to take a different path."

"I’ve worked as a delivery partner for the past 3 years. Being able to serve customers and put a smile on someone’s face is very rewarding. The ability to make my own schedule is a plus as well. I enjoy the job because you earn tips for hard work."

"Pros: Fun, challenging work environment with a large variety of equipment. Cons: Way too much bloat in management. Managers, for the most part, do not understand their roles and do not possess the skills to help employees succeed."

"They will challenge you, but not push you too hard to meet deadlines. Some overtime may be needed to meet deadlines at times. Agile work environment, and good people."

"Amazon has been a great company to work for! They've taught me even more about time management, predictions, labor management, and preparing for the unknown. It is a very demanding job, but the satisfaction of knowing that every day will not be the same has been rewarding. I'm always in for a challenge."

"I worked in prime video team at Amazon. My manager was great and supportive along with my mentor. Also, I got help from my very talented teammates."

"Its a very large company!"

"Amazon will hire and train employees to work in their warehouse with great health benefits on your initial start date. If you work hard and search for additional training opportunities, you can submit for higher-level roles at various locations nationally. Transferring to other locations can be accomplished by using their internal online system to help with relocation or just job advancement. Amazon will also help pay tuition for people interested in obtaining careers outside of the company."

"My experience with retail management for over 30 years can work in the relation of all experiences, customer satisfaction, inventory control, payroll, recruiting, hiring, deposits in cash handling, merchandising according to the year, season, and holiday."
