Our Workplace

The customer is at the heart of everything we do. Amazon is a place where smart, passionate people obsess over customers and innovate on their behalf. Amazon now has more than 41,000 full- and part-time employees across Canada. Regular full-time employees at Amazon receive competitive wages as well as medical, vision, and dental coverage. Amazon is also committed to providing eligible employees with access to the education and skills training they need to grow their careers, offering a variety of company-funded training opportunities to help them transition into in-demand careers within the company and beyond. Amazon will spend over $1.2 billion globally to provide free skills training to employees—helping them further their careers in tech and in-demand roles such as cloud computing.

It’s always “Day 1” at Amazon—that’s our approach to doing everything with the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of a new organization on its first day.

Building the future is inspiring and fun, but it’s not easy. Amazon employees aren’t just encouraged to come up with the next big idea, they’re empowered to own and build it. Being a builder comes with an appetite for risk taking. Founder Jeff Bezos has called Amazon “the best place in the world to fail.” Learning from our failures, and applying them to the next big idea, is at the heart of delighting customers and inventing things we never thought possible. Employees are encouraged to take ownership of their work and careers. We believe this means people grow faster at Amazon than they would anywhere else.
