The Cookout

[Banks]

I've heard mostly horror stories from people who previously worked for Amazon. I personally would never work for Amazon after the stories I have heard. They just sound like a place where you work nonstop and barely get breaks. And from others I've heard of Amazon losing employees because of their horrible practices and rules.

Does anyone here work for Amazon or have worked for Amazon? I'd love to hear your experiences. I worked with some people who said they worked for Amazon as well, a couple of them just got tired of it fast, while some others had a few things to complain about.

What are your views on working with or for Amazon? Should you not bother with them?

I’ve heard bad things about them too. I’m not sure how true the following rumor is, but I’ve heard that employees aren’t allowed bathroom breaks and that they have to go in bottles. I’m pretty sure if that was true, OSHA would crack down on them but you never know.

I've heard bad stories too. The employee turnover must be through the roof.

I have never worked there. Wouldnt want to after hearing so many suspect stories about Amazon.

I wouldn't work for them in any reality. Retail is bad enough.

Amazon uses their popularity as a top company to treat employees poorly. My friend, Mike, used to work there and swore that he would rather be hungry rather than subjecting himself to such working conditions.

If the pay is good and maybe I got nothing doing at that moment they I could take a job at Amazon.

Their tech positions pay well and those workers work a normal day. You can make 6 figures working for them. Its the workers in the centers that catch hell. The tech and corporate positions are 'normal' from what I understand unless someone has other information?
