Great place

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
I was an intern, only negative was the older engineers would steal all easy tickets leaving nothing for me. When you are an intern and aren’t getting tickets closed they notice. Managers are very understanding, all I did was bring it up with the manager and everything was fine

Going downhill

Amazon used to be a great place to work, but slowly over time, there's less focus on leadership principles and a high quality bar, and more just random slop from middle management.

Learned how NOT to manage people

Exhausting schedule, compensating for low staff, and babysitting responsibilities to become laid off, because corporate wanted more for themselves and rarely rewarded the leaders running the store for them.

Managers are Overworked with no OT pay

As an area manager, your sched isn’t flexible. You’re required to work 12-14 hrs a day for 4 days on a typical day. On Nov-Dec, you’re required to take an additional day for 14 hrs, equaling 60-70hrs a week with no over time pay.

Pros

Title of a manager

Cons

Mandatory overtime

Productive, fast-pace workplace

Great place to work if you can handle a fast-paced environment. Great upward potential if looking for a long-term employer. Great accountability and communication.

Nice

Good place for someone like me but I can imagine it could be different for someone else who is not me. If you like working for Amazon you will like this place.

Job security and pay

Amazon is a great place to work but the app that you have to use is defective. I’ve tried to set up direct deposit and the app kept give me issues causing me to receive paper checks, so now I have to wait every 2 week to get paid for a weekly paying job because they say 7 to 10 days for paper checks and that put my job security in jeopardy because I take Ubers to work and can’t take any with no money, but hr couldn’t understand that and it cost me employment

Pros

Benefits

Cons

Atoz app, paper check and job security

Share your experience to help others

Amazon was my stepping stone but I came back.

Benefits and shift differentials here outweighed high level engineering jobs with pay, time off, and all benefits(including lower cost for my family). It’s warehouse work so not easy, but they make it as easy as possible. Speed/quality is important but you acquire that with experience. There are tons of career paths, training courses, free classes, tuition reimbursement, they have everything to push you toward success. At first I hated it here but after 2 years of working two jobs I believe this one wins. Unless you find that magical family owned company that has a gym on site or whatever. This is the best company I have ever worked for(30+ jobs, always a leader, and always quit after 6 months of mistreatment). I can’t quit this place, yet.Management/HR always cares about your health, there are onsite medical reps. Amazing culture and benefits. May not be a family company but I am not just a number so am an equal. I have taken leaves for my own health and family with the click of a button in the mobile app, sometimes call and they always take care of me. Bereavement pay without harassment. I don’t know what else to say. The treatment I have received compared to any other workplace could bring me to tears, and I hate corporate companies and used to hate Amazon. They changed my perspective of workplace standards. I was promoted within 5 months to be a trainer, then process assistant. I transferred across 3 states for an engineering job, just to quit and end up back here for stress free work environment. Management is probably a tough job but just normal work is amazing.

Pros

Best job and benefits, 3 weeks paid time, Quit $30/hr operations job to come back, I think of it as a gym with career choices

Cons

Pay could keep up better with cost of living and inflation, 401k needs improved

Poor management

All the staff are over worked, it is a fast paced job however the breaks are not long enough and the pay is pitch poor. It’s a good job if you can withstand the physical labor conditions

Great place to learn new skills and earn a decent living, but doesn't advance workers fairly.

What is the best part of working at the company?Great hours, pay, benefits; consistent schedule; paid time off, vacation time, holiday pay and/or time offWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?High volume work flow; Revolving sets of managers and HR reps; Flawed system to get of workers after they've been there for so long (not properly coding time when the work flow slows or stops); random security searchesWhat is the work environment and culture like at the company?It's pretty much like most any factory you work in: Not much socializing as the work keeps you more than busy enough. The feeling of being parts to a big machine.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Exhausting. I worked three 12 hour shifts in a row, then off for four days. It was okay until they started claiming my productivity was low when I knew it was because of them not coding my down time correctly.

I enjoyed my work but not being micromanaged

What is the best part of working at the company?The benefits, they work you to death, wanting you to go faster and faster disregarding safety.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Management constantly on you to go faster, they treat you like a robot so I guess that’s why they are making robots to replace workers. They don’t appreciate the employees.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Fast paced which is fine helps make the day go by faster but management wants employees to go over “the bar level”.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Stressful because you feel like you’re best isn’t good enough even though you’re always ready to work extra when needed.

Was this review helpful?

Not a bad job overall

It's a decent job many people do not make it long term due to long hours and many days of OT being forced on especially during October to December. As long as you stay focused and on task this can be a good opportunity

Pros

Free lunches occasionally and holiday meals

Cons

Long hours, shorten breaks with walking time
Was this review helpful?

Pros

Cons

One of the best company in Tucson

I think Amazon CEO has reached his goal - Amazon is the best company - at least at Tucson.Good pay, amazing benefits, great working conditions. I did not liked management too much - but it was my personal issue.

Pros

Pay, benefits, work conditions, education, stability

Cons

Management, LGBT propaganda (too much)

Horrible

Managers arent your friends. They dont helo in any meaningful ways nor do the higher ups in there. HR is also just a nameplate. No real way to move up in this company unless you have a degree from a college or get nepotism into a position. No manager or anyone whos above an associate will do anything to lose their job or their comfy position to an associate.

Pros

Pay

Cons

The amount of work they make you do for the pay

Stay teachable. Even if you think you know EVERYTHING.

What is the best part of working at the company?Opportunity for advancement!! Either in your field of experience or they will definitely train you for another one. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Staying consistent in your everyday performance, with no slacking off.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Positive people, encouragement from others to succeed.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Keeping the customer happy. Without the customer, your position here wouldn't exist.
