Working at Amazon

Amazon’s workplace is made up of a talented, global team of individuals who work hard every day to create a great experience for customers, employees, partners, and the communities where we serve. We have hired more U.S. jobs in the last decade than any other company, with an average hourly base pay of $22 across our fulfillment and transportation network and pharmacy, and the majority of our comprehensive benefits begin on day one of employment. We have invested over $1.2 billion on free skills training to help employees further their careers.

Benefits
Amazon is proud of our ability to create great jobs with great benefits for all employees.
Upskilling
We are making two big investments to help make that happen: investing in employees and providing free skills training opportunities to the public.
Inclusive experiences and technology
We’re in this together—reaching across cultures—creating global tech innovations that bring us together in new and exciting ways.
Tours
Come experience Amazon in person! We offer free public tours to show what happens behind the scenes in Amazon robotics fulfillment centers around the world.
Safety
Safety is integral to everything that we do at Amazon—every day, in every operation, across every country.
Our workforce data
We track the representation of our workforce because we know that diversity helps us build the best possible customer experiences and products for our globally diverse customer base.

It’s always “Day 1” at Amazon—we approach our work with the energy and spirit of a new company.

Amazon fosters a culture of ownership, where employees are empowered to develop, build, and own big ideas. Being a builder comes with an appetite for risk taking. Founder Jeff Bezos calls Amazon “the best place in the world to fail.” Employees take ownership of their careers here, and we believe people grow faster at Amazon than they would anywhere else.
