Pros
- One unpaid break, one paid break. Both a half hour - Health & Wellness station with certified nurses - Has an exercise area if your muscles are cramped or something hurts; just gotta let your manager know - Mindfulness room, if you need some time for your mental health - Very accommodating - Training is easy and quick - Prayer room - Most managers know what they're doing - There are opportunities to switch to different jobs if the one you currently have doesn't fit with you (Learning Ambassador, Manager, HR, Security, Loss Prevention, Pack, Pick, Stow, Docks, and of course Delivery are the ones I know of, and I'm 100% certain there are more) - You can talk to HR directly if you have an issue! You don't even have to wait 20+ minutes on the phone: there are stations right there in the warehouse where you can talk to a representative! - 4 10-hour days, so you get an extra day off - Starting pay is $17.25, which is an increase from when I last worked there, and I'm seasonal
Cons
- On the flip side, 4 10-hour days is long and exhausting - Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance is not the greatest, though Amazon offers a tax-favorable Health Savings Account (90 days for Seasonal, 30 or 60 days for full-time, but none for Reduced- (30 hours/week required) or Part-Time (4-6/week required, I don't remember) - You walk into hiring, wait in a line (there's usually a lot of people in there), you turn in your paperwork that they send through email (with which I've never had an issue), you get your photo ID and drug test, then you set a hire date, which is 2-3 weeks out, so it's a month before you get a paycheck
