Pros
Culture, HR, employees (most), benefits, pay. Problem was the job was exactly as described. Lots of walking, many stairs, and it was the 6:00 PM to 6:30 shift. I "thought" I could handle it. I was so very wrong. Wednesday, from 8:00 AM to about 1:00 PM - no issues. Just how-tos kinda things. Thursday was first shift. They took us around, trained us and gave us a tour. Very wearing. 2nd night, half way through the shift, I had to leave. I am no longer physically able to do this kind of job. I think if it had just been a day job on the first floor, I could have handled it (would only have gotten $10.50 an hour if it was). But a combination of being on the 4th floor and the walking and, especially, the time of night killed me. I was feeling faint and disoriented. Called in the next morning and submitted my resignation. Went back a week later and spoke with HR. Because I was unable to give them at least a week's notice, I will not be eligible for rehire at Amazon for 2 years. This does sadden me, but there is no way, physically, I could have given them a week. I will be losing the toe nails (I know TMI) on one foot. And this is with good shoes and socks. My body just rebelled against me. Of course, I am almost 70. But I saw people handling the job that were 400 lbs. I exercise, I am not over weight, and I walk. A lot. But that didn't help me. Bottom line, Amazon is a great place to work but be aware of your physical limitations if you are looking at a job in Fulfillment.
Kontras
Walking, stairs, hours, flexibility to change jobs, give associates a chance to choose.
