They gave you a sign on bonus and 15 days vacation. However be prepared to work on personal and vacation days. I did enjoy the interview process. It was very challenging and you interviewed with 6 different supervisors to pick their brain.

Where do I start? I went to be a procurement operations buyer only to find out I was to perform a facilities management role on top of that. I was lied to on the interview when they said the new FC was up and running. One introduced herself as the Buyer to that FC when it wasn't even open yet. They ran that facility without operating bathrooms, zero power to the desk, and air conditioning in the 90 degree heat. To me, they treat employees like garbage or worse in those instances. They had trailer johnnies in the parking lot that you can smell from the cafeteria. They erased the complaints from employees about it as well. My first day on the job? I came prepared to start what they call AEW. (Associate experience week). They did not have my credentials that I would be starting at that building. I had to show them my offer letter and communication from a recruiter that I was to be at that building. I sat in the lobby for a half hour making me 15 minutes late and then penalized for it later in the week when my first boss asked why I showed up 15 min late on my first day. Here I am showing up 15 min early prepared to work and they screw up and easy task that is supposed to make employees welcome at a new job. Amazon is very frugal. Their systems are very outdated. For such a rich and successful company, they do nothing to improve their databases for procurement. They do not have a training manual or staff to teach you these systems. They have a poor training process( there was none). Management support is lacking. I've always been my own manager, but you need support and knowledge transfer in the beginning to be able to be comfortable in your new role. Trying to figure out two jobs by yourself in a high paced company is a set up for failure for anyone.
