Though the people and benefits at Amazon are great, it is not a positive work environment

Pros

The thing I liked most was the people I worked with. You can meet a lot of cool people there, though you don't have a lot of time to actually interact with them except for breaks. The pay and benefits are good as well.

Cons

Despite their insistence that they care about their associates, I find the overall structure of Amazon to be geared towards the opposite. The pay and benefits are good enough that Amazon knows that either you won't leave, even if they treat you poorly, or you will leave, and they can very easily find a replacement.

They (high level management) do and say what they must to make their shareholders happy.

In short, they wish we were robots, so standards are set at a corporate level so that they can treat us like one.

Advice to Management

We are people. Invest a little in treating us that way.
