(2,807 posts)Let me say that again, in capital letters so nobody misses my meaning.
I WORKED TWO YEARS FOR AMAZON. AMAZON WAS A WONDERFUL EMPLOYER. AMAZON HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE EMPLOYER.
Amazon gets highest marks for time-off policies, sick leave, maternity leave, et. al. Also highest marks for scheduling work hours around what was best for me. The morale of my co-workers was also the best of any job I've ever held. And the pay was better than prevailing wage.
I rate Amazon as the most flexible employer I've worked for, as a matter of fact I rate Amazon as the most flexible employer that I have even heard about.
My co-workers and I were very happy to be working there, there was a long line to be hired in there. We certainly weren't slaves or treated as such. My experience was exactly opposite. I found the upper management to be the fiendliest, most flexible I've known of.
