As someone who worked there for a year, the nice thing about Amazon is that managers don't harass you—even if you come in late every single day—and the 40 hours of personal time granted every week is great too. It's the kind of job where you can just put on your headphones and zone out, and never have to come in on days when you don't feel like it. Just call off in the app.
Still wouldn't recommend that anyone works there. Everything else about the job sucks.
Wtf is this? You have 168 personal hours every week. It is not at the decision of your employer.
In the warehouse?
