Work-Life Balance
We provide ways of working that fit with your life
When you work at Amazon, your commitment to your work and doing your best is only matched by our commitment to remembering what’s best for you. We recognize everyone is unique and differs in their way of life. Whether you’re starting your career, moving over from another one, or returning to work, we know work is an important and necessary part of your life. But we also know that what matters most is your time away, on your own, with family, and with friends. Amazon provides many paths in which you can find a way to get the most out of your life.
We’ve got you covered on the necessities
A guaranteed paycheck and more.
We promise stability when it comes to pay – a paycheck every week and paid overtime for over 40 hours worked in a week. Still undecided about joining? Perhaps our wide-variety of employee benefits will interest you.
Paid time off.
As soon as you begin working at Amazon, you start earning paid time off that you can use towards life. We offer vacation time – escape for a few days or use your full accumulation of time. No one plans to take sick days, but it happens. Sometimes taking time off means taking care of yourself. Get well and return to work – your job will be here when you’re ready. Personal days are available to take care of those important things that come up.
Schedules that work with your life.
You may be juggling family, school, friends and other activities. That’s why we offer a variety of work schedules that work for you.
In addition to full-time and part-time schedules, we also offer seasonal opportunities as well as other unique scheduling options.

What our associates are saying
So due to the time opportunities they provide, if you have something big coming up and you have to be off that day, they will let you take PTO or UPT at any time. You can just walk up to the desk and go, 'Hey, I have to leave. Bye.' And they'll be like, 'Okay, we'll schedule around you. You're good to go.'

So I have a set work schedule on the Amazon A to Z app. It's usually the same thing every week, because I usually don't pick up shifts. But if there are shifts that I want to pick up, I can easily pick them up at any time.

The flexibility. That's what I would really push: The flexibility. Also, vacation time builds up very easy and you can either use that or your unpaid time, which adds up easy too.

Work friends = work family
We work hard…and we have fun doing it. When you join Amazon, you are part of a team that works together to create one goal. You create new friendships, and a lot of those are like family. So even when you can’t get away for a while, we make coming to work the best it can be for you – and your work family.
