27: Amazon.com Employee Reviews

You mainly just scan items that customers buy into shelves. sometimes it gets annoying when there's too many items because you are recorded on how many items you scan and you can only put as many as you can display for pickers.outbound is alright because there's constantly things to store and get ready for trucks.

Pros

set hours

Cons

long hours, unfulfilling work

Stay away if you're a hard worker

Forklift Operator (Current Employee) - Ravenhall VIC - 16 July 2023

Amazon is more a "social experiment" than a workplace.It is a "bludgers paradise" where lazy workers never get pulled up for it, and hard workers never appreciated or respected. Everybody gets a participation award regardless if they actually work or not.The racial favouritism there is next level. It's a bunch of kids running the place with no experience, masquerading as proffesionals who cannot handle when a worker with more experience than them calls them out on their inability to perform their role.

Pros

They never ask you to work harder

Cons

Read comments above. Too many to list

Tier1 Delivery Station Associate (Current Employee) - Regents Park NSW - 14 March 2023

Amazon pay is great but if you go through an agency they take a huge cut and your wage gets low. Fast paced,competitive environment but awarding at same time. Great team and rotating roaster, they care about their employees.Free lunches during the peak periods.

Pros

Free lunches during peak periods, rotating

toxic workplace & management

Facilities Coordinator (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 8 March 2023

have never worked at a company so incredibly toxic, management was cruel and added extra responsibility to job with no additional pay constantly. refused to hire additional staff instead just forwarded on the work to the rest of the team.

A one-stop career shop where you get to build and achieve greatness, all alongside the world's most talented people.

Recruitment Manager (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 20 December 2022

You have limitless career opportunities across roles, teams, entities, countries etc. You are empowered to innovate, build and take risks - all with very deep pockets - to solve problems for your customers. Everyone lives and breathes the Leadership Principles and has a huge focus on DEI. If you don't like ambiguous or ever-changing environments, Amazon isn't right for you.

Limitless career opportunities, empowered to innovate with deep pockets, solve problems for your customers, live and breathe the Leadership Principles, have a huge focus on DEI.

Amazon is a great company to work for. From day one I have been given the opportunity to development my skills and have influence on such a large organisation. It is a fast paced environment but everyone collaborates and supports one another.

Pros

The pay

Brutal, fair and rewarding

Supervisor (Current Employee) - Australia - 15 August 2022

I needed a big push when I started as a L1 employee, promoted twice and now they're in talks of another promotion. It is a hard job, but management is nothing short of amazing, they want to develop and push you to new personal bests.

Good job

Customer Service Agent (Former Employee) - Wembley Square 2 - 17 July 2022

Nice money however you need to be mentally tough because it comes with endurance. A fast paced, quick on toes environment. It's a fair place however your salary is a clear indicator of the workload.

Pros

Good salary. Great culture. Free popcorn and fruit. Free medical aid

Cons

Tough shifts

Depends on the teams, emphasis on performance and metrics

Architect (Current Employee) - Australia - 11 May 2022

My observation being in Proserve (professional services arm of AWS) , technical and domain specialist needs to be good at selling, negotiation, building trust with customers. Very limited time for deep, focused, technical work. A lot of calls like usual consulting role. Feel like a freelancer/entrepreneur, need to market own skills and work well to survive. Hard to find support within the team as everyone is in many projects and different projects. Uncoordinated, lack of structure.Emphasis of sales numbers, deals closed, customer satisfaction score, hours billed. Pressure to perform even through client pipeline is not within control. Great for people who likes to talk to customers, sell Amazon style of innovation. Not good for people who wants focused work - building, engineering, creating. People move in and out the team quickly. High transfer and turnover.

Pros

Grow your networking and communication skills, autonomy, work from home, interesting client work if there is pipeline, good for people who want to explore freelancing/entrepreneur, Good pay

Cons

Pressure to deliver, high attrition, ambiguity

Stressful experience with no room for personal evolvement

Associate (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 22 November 2021

It was a biased work environment where groups and circles are formed there. The good is the continuing work because of the demand during covid 19 tough times .

Pros

Clean

Cons

Long hours

Competitive you need an excellent a 10 survey coming from your customer

CSR - Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - MOA - 17 April 2021

Amazon is a good company in terms of salary benefits and working place. There are team leaders that are good motivators others are not but then its your decidion or how you will manage. High standard when it comes to safety and employees privileges. No 2 way fliw on the building, one way flow and just 2 persons on the elevator. Verygood equipments fast , no problem on the system, fast training all virtual.

Pros

Free meals on fridays and a week free lunch on special holidaysof Amazon

Cons

Needs to hit good surveys everyday

great place and working environment

Process Worker (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 9 July 2020

it felt like you have 2 different team in one department, the permanent staff and the casual staff. sometimes, the instruction given were not clear and KPi keep changing on daily basis. The storage are too pack with item and there not enough space when most of the item are not stored properly.
