[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazon is the last company that needs our support right now.  If you insist on giving a gift card, why not one to a local business?  [/quote]

Amazon provides many many many jobs.[/quote]

Perhaps, but the company does not appear to have treated its employees particularly well.  Moreover, Amazon takes plenty of jobs away from small, local businesses that have trouble competing.  Think about what it will be like to live in DC if many of the small businesses disappear during this crisis.  [/quote]

Amazon doesn't' take away from small businesses.  Small businesses have to change and provide good services and products to make them valuable.  I buy from Amazon (beyond my spouse is an employee) because of cost and convince.  If a small business provided the same, I'd be happy to buy from them.

Amazon is made up of many companies and not just the warehouse/prime.  Some companies treat employees better than others.  Its been one of the better companies my spouse has worked for.  Lots of flexibility, supportive team (but got lucky with a good supervisor) and great pay.  The only negative is the hours but spouse could say no and work less.  My spouse has also worked at the warehouse.  They had a good experience but its hard and fast paced.[/quote]
