Financial success

We help our employees build successful futures for themselves through competitive wages and other compensation. Pay for Operations roles starts between £14.30 and £15.30 per hour depending on location. For employees reaching their one-year employment mark, we offer our innovative Career Choice programme, which pre-pays 100% of tuition for courses in high-demand fields. To promote a more affordable commuting option for employees, Amazon also offers a season ticket scheme to eligible staff.

Health and wellbeing

Taking care of our employees’ health and wellness is a priority. That’s why we offer private medical insurance to all our regular full-time employees, regardless of their level, tenure, or position. When employees want to take time away from work, they can take ample 'paid time' and paid holidays, in addition to other leave and medical accommodation options that are available for mental and physical health concerns. Amazon also offers access to critical illness insurance, free counselling services and eye tests in collaboration with Specsavers. Read more detail about our employee benefits.
