Review from Customer Support Dept

What I value most about my compensation package is its balance: competitive base salary, performance-based bonuses, and equity that aligns my incentives with long-term company success. This structure rewards both short-term results and long-term impact.

My best part about my compensation is 12000

Great place to work with Amazon

I think the best part is the base pay

Review from Sales Dept

The value of Stock options

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

The system is setup against the employee with ever changing rules that favor the company.

No recognition. No opportunity for promotion. Being forced to return to office.

I am not managed properly

Unvalued? That's an understatement. My contributions are met with indifference, my expertise ignored. It's like being a ghost, contributing to a void. Better compensation? Insulting. Recognition, appreciation, respect - those are the treasures truly missing. Pay me in dignity, not just dollars.

Take into consideration the experience

The compensation policies are almost illegal. They offer promotions and role changes without paying people. They promise generous compensation but employees end up being paid below market rate.

Nothing they make you get on a operations machine and pay you the same as everyone else thats not risking their life

Review from Operations Dept

credit for doing a good job.

Review from Operations Dept

I currently do the job of four people being like this for 8 mths, which is unsustainable, my same level make 30k to 40k more a year in other areas inside the company .

Review from Customer Success Dept

To be paid a better hourly rate and able to add a family member to my medical insurance whenever I wanted, not only in one month of any year

Promotion would make me feel better about my compensation with the more money and morale that comes with it.

Steady growth tantamount with performance evaluation

Stop paying external hires so much more than your internal promos. You have associates that know the business and culture on a deep level that make 25% or more less than a new hire coming in with a degree for the same role. You are poisoning your most well-developed talent.

I walk into work, and fear of my mental health. They undervalue the hard workers and work them to the point they want to quit. SOO much favoritism, especially with the ones they know work the hardest. I say at sort centers we should be getting paid 20 dollars an hour. Bring back PTO for FT employees

I would like to be treated better

I work hard and am often, very often taken advantage of.

Recently promoted but recieved $0. I am not even within the salary band for the level and role. I am $60k+ under paid than my peers. Additionally, Stock prices have tanked and will now be making less than I did last year.

Review from IT Dept

I’m a BIE getting paid $20k+ less than the bottom of the pay band for my role. I would feel better if I was paid fairly.

Review from Operations Dept

Very very little raise, regardless of performance

Review from Engineering Dept

I believe we could have better benefits. I think if we owned more stock that just came with the job, we would work harder to make Amazon a better place to work and more profitable.
