Pros
If you want to develop a total retail frame of mind, this is the place to do it. Likewise, if you wish to sharpen your cost-costing skills this is the place for you. If you have little faith in your decision making skills and require micro-management to make it through your day-to-day activities, Amazon is a good place. Amazon is also a great place for the "meat-eaters" to work. You will have ample opportunity to ambush slower animals.
Cons
Micromanagement is at the heart of the culture The executives always have the right answer Management decisions are often made in the absence of objective evidence or without informed opinion You will hear people say that it is a flat organization. It isn't "Fruguality" is taken to functional idiocy. Flying to India? You are going coach You are expected to be a workaholic. The concept of working smart is exchanged for working hard.
