I know two people who have worked in fulfillment centers, and one who is an on-site medic at a distribution center. None of them have any real complaint about Amazon. As one of them has said in the past, "It's a warehouse job, like any other warehouse job. It ain't easy. It's hard work."

I'm not saying there is no elements of truth to people talking about working conditions, but I worked construction and structural repair for years. Fell off of my share of ladders, crawled through more than my fair share of animal corpses underneath houses. Every job ain't squeaky clean and easy.

Besides, if you're buying off of the Marketplace, Amazon is only serving as the online storefront. Small businesses are just using the massive Amazon platform to sell their goods. Amazon might not be heaven, but I don't think it's Mt. Doom either.
