Pros

Amazon is a huge growing company with excellent benefits, so the chances of a lay-off due to lack of business won't happen.

Cons

We are treated like machines set up to meet impossible rates per hour. Mandatory overtime working 50 to 60 hours a week and it's not even peek season yet. It often reaches 110 degrees in the warehouse. 15 minute breaks are taken up walking across the building to get to the breakroom or outside.

Pros

The money is great for a temporary job! The job is good excercise, and employees have the potential to be trained on heavy lifting equipment. Plus they provide work gloves, box cutters and they don't have a restricting dress code. Facial piercings are allowed!

Cons

The hours are long and the breaks are extremely short. The breaks are so short that going out to lunch is not a possibility. They have strict safety rules, and it gets kind of ridiculious how they are with injury reports. If a person gets a paper cut they have to fill out 4 pages of paper work. They are really strict about line and picking rates. Just because a person gets hired on as a permanent employee doesn't mean that they are excempt from making rates. If you are hired late in the season you will have less likely of a chance to be made permanent, so if you are serious about the job start applying early.
