- Senior Management are absolute idiots, it's all about image and how good they look and not about mentoring and coaching their teams to be better - It's all about who your drinking buddies are and whether you rub shoulders with VPs (promotions for women are next to impossible unless you do "favors") - Horrible office environment, they recruit only MBAs which set absolutely unnecessary competitive environment that is not constructive - Bullying is rampant at all levels, threats are constant, HR never respond to escalations and make your life even worse with legal threats - Work life balance is non-existent. I was advised to find a better role if I want a life outside of my job. - People have passed out on the floor from pure exhaustion ( i am not exaggerating). Go to Clausen at 8pm and you will see the offices still full of people. Its Ridiculous!!! - Pay is awful

*Orientation was terrible. The lady who held orientation did not want to be there. She talked really fast, gave us a mouth swab drug test, and told us that all communication is done by email. *I completed the entire online training modules and I never got paid for doing them, even though it's supposed to be paid training. My managers knew about it, the ERC, etc. My last paycheck did not reflect any training. So be very careful when you do this training and know that they might not pay you. *Management will yell in a speaker to get you to work quicker. *Speed walking for long periods of time. *There is a board that you place your comments on for management. I had a great idea to improve customer service. No action was taken. So expect to not always have your little voice heard. *There was a lot of theft at my location, which made the working atmosphere more restricted. No one should be stealing from company; however, everyone should not get punished because others were stealing. *My hours went from 25 hours a week to 12 hours a week, which is the main reason why I had to leave *Communication is terrible. Everything is done through email. Many time you will find that management does not know the answers to your questions. Management also does not know about new things that have been implicated within the company and they are just as clueless as you are. *You are not allowed to have your phones. But you will sometimes wonder why management is on their phones while texting and smiling. *Some products go to donations that are damaged. Other products are thrown in the trash. You will see the trash full of food and products that could all be going towards people who need it most. *The application for this job does not talk about you going into a refrig or freezer. Be prepared to stay in the freezer for a long time, looking for cold and frozen foods for prime now orders. *Sometimes you will be assigned to stow (meaning put away items) in the refrig. and freezer. You can be in there for hours at a time. *The air conditioner was broken at my location. The heat can tire anyone, and so it did. *VTO means voluntary time off. That is when you come in to work your shift and management asks you if you would like to take the rest of the day off, with NO PAY! I am assuming they push for this on slow days when they feel there are too many workers. *I knew a girl who was cross trained in almost everything on the floor. She has been with Amazon for 2 or 3 years. She was still being paid the same amount as me. *You only get one 10 minute break when you work a 5 hour shift. Imagine that! *High Turn over rate. *The Beast- It is a system that allows you to check your speed and pick rates. It never worked while I was employed there. *Micromanagement *I was given the ability to do problem solve. It's a headache, It is not worth it when you get the same pay. *There is a point system. *No room for advancement. *Only the people with blue badges are immune from having their schedule or hours changed
