Pros

Ability to Work from Home Generous Time off policies Performance pay based on customer satisfaction Flexible scheduling for students Opportunities for advancement Experience not required

Cons

The company is very frugal.. if they can get away with paying you less they will Lack of information can be frustrating Doesn't matter if its right... as long as it's said with a smile Good performance is noted but the best way to get ahead is make friends, which can be very hard in a virtual environment. Experience is not always rewarded, it's more about how you fit in Amazon culture.

Pros

Quality of work is good, it is very fast growing changing environment so lots of opportunity to grow and learn new things. Good compensation, they give exactly what they promise on offer letter. No hidden charges.

Cons

Frugality misplaced. We spend more in areas we should not and save in areas we should not. Employee goodwill and loyalty is compromised as a result.
