Pros

Generally great co-workers. Pretty good benefits. Area managers are usually understanding and are easy to talk to. Amazon.com is a pretty financially successful company to work for.

Cons

Brutal turnover rate for temp associates not used to working in an environment based primarily on production. There's a thin line to walk while working here. One small incident can mean full termination. Hard working employees who meet and generally well exceed the productivity/safety/quality expectations usually go un-noticed. Peak (Late November - December) hours can be excessively tiring after so many consecutive weeks.
