    Benefits are phenomenal. You can invest up to $300 weekly into Amazon stock. The health insurance rates range from approximately $7.50 - $21.00 weekly for a single plan. The 7.50 rate includes a $500 HSA which leaves employee with a $500 deductible. The health plans are Aetna and BCBS and are top notch plans. The vision and dental plans are also affordable and top notch. The best plans are only a little over $2.00 weekly for a single plan. The best vision and dental plans pay for frames, contact lenses and up to $2,000 in orthodontics (braces). They also have a 401k plan through Vanguard that has many options for investment depending on how many years you are away from retirement. Trust me, I worked in HR for many years. I just left HR to go to Amazon for their benefit package. There is a built in workout in your job. You will not have a reason to join a health club. I lost five pounds after my first five nights & I am small. Pay could be better for the level of work!

    Subsidiaries get better perks usually. ComiXology, free comics. Audible, free audiobooks, free lunch and stocked kitchen, I'm not sure about others. In general, Amazon has a principle of "frugality" so they don't give employees anything they consider a "frill" but of course you get health insurance, a very low-matching 401k, $100 off amazon goods each year, and the stock. Stock is probably the best thing right now.
