Amazon.com Employee Reviews

Tough place to work but good if you are young and starting out. Can be physically demanding but it is good in the fact that you can have only four days of work

Good footing to gain HR experience

HR Coordinator (Former Employee) - Remote - 21 September 2023

I learned a lot during my time with Amazon to gain a good footing in the HR field. However, I wished that everything had deeper training to fully understand the processes, especially when remote.

Fulfillment Associate (Former Employee) - Yyz4 - 18 September 2023

Just the issue is Management and promotions are just for their favorite , no life changing experience in 4 years just feel like wastage of time. Don’t work for more than 3-4 months there

Good if you need quick work

Seasonal Fulfillment Centre Associate (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 13 September 2023

Signed up as a seasonal fulfillment associate during the christmas season. Wasn't expecting much and was still let down. Extremely busy for such a short shift that I was on. Coupled with some very lazy co-workers who could never pull their weight and a night schedule (12am to 3-5am), it's safe to say I would never work here again.

Pros

15 minute break in such a short shift

Cons

Lazy Co-workers, Bad Schedule

Great place to work while studying in college. Everyone was enjoying working here. The hardest part of the job is walking for full day long and sometimes you got tired

Decent job, decent pay

Warehouse Worker (Former Employee) - Bolton, ON - 8 September 2023

Benefits are actually quite good. Better than many other places. Lots of favouritism and work politics in management unfortunately. 4 day work week is great. Just be prepared to walk/stand a lot. It’s a good temporary starter job to help someone get back on there feet (financially).

Pros

Decent pay, good benefits

Cons

10.5 hour shifts

Bad

SDE (Former Employee) - Seatle - 1 September 2023

Many great people and technology but management style and AWS culture is still rather toxic. Many people managers have no business managing people. They still believe in forced attrition and managers are forced to stack-rank and push out the "bottom".

Not a good place to work

Dispatcher (Current Employee) - Langley, BC - 28 August 2023

Great time, they were all nice. I wish they were nicer. When I had a blue dial watch my dad had one of those automatic chronographs. I think getting a big route, doing this. The first thing you should look into when doing this will probably take a lot more than just a little time. I’m sure.

Long Hours and Bad Management

Dock Worker (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 24 August 2023

10 hour shifts with two half hour breaks only one is paid. If it isn’t busy you will get paid to stand at your station unless you are close with your manager. Overall great pay at $20 an hour but terrible for your mental health being in a distribution centre for long hours.
