Pros

Money. Experience means it's easier to find other work when you eventually leave.

Cons

It's well known Amazon is by far the worst of all the big four. A brutal, aggressive work environment. Most of the work is not that interesting. Expect to be treated like a cog in a big machine. Most of the experience is Amazon-specific and not transferable. The only people who stay longer than 2 years stay for the stock. If you want to be treated well and have a good work-life balance, don't work for Amazon.

Advice to Management

Look after your employees and address the employee retention issues.
