If you're seeking career advancement, LinkedIn ranks Amazon as the top U.S. company to work for.

• In 2022, Americans ranked Amazon as the top company they want to work for, according to LinkedIn.
• For the second consecutive year, the e-commerce giant has been ranked as the top workplace on LinkedIn's list of 50 best places to advance your career.
• In the Russell 1000 companies, Amazon ranks 569th overall and 11th in terms of workers' issues, according to CNBC partner JUST Capital.

If you're looking for career growth, Amazon has been named the top U.S. company to work for two years in a row on Wednesday.

LinkedIn's 2022 Top Companies list evaluates seven pillars related to career advancement, including the ability to progress, skills development, company stability, external opportunities, company loyalty, gender diversity, and educational backgrounds. The company uses data from its 810 million members and the investments made by companies in their employees to determine the rankings.

JUST Capital, a CNBC partner platform that measures and improves corporate performance, discovered that Amazon ranks lower in terms of worker satisfaction.

JUST Capital ranks Amazon 11th in retail and 569th overall among Russell 1000 companies. JUST Capital's rankings are based on a poll of Americans on what workers' issues they believe U.S. companies should prioritize most, including paying a living wage, worker health and safety, benefits and work-life balance, diversity, equity and inclusion, and workforce investment and training.

In all categories except for worker health and safety, Amazon outperforms the industry average in JUST's rankings, indicating the company's strong commitment to worker well-being beyond legal requirements.

JUST ranks Amazon below average on health and safety due to a higher number of controversies and fewer relevant policies.

The appraisal that goes into LinkedIn's list does not include this category.

Over its labor record, Amazon, the country's second-largest private employer, has faced scrutiny from lawmakers, activists, and some of its own employees.

The warehouse and delivery workers have frequently criticized the company, stating that its emphasis on customer satisfaction and quick delivery has resulted in an unsafe work environment. They have argued that the fast pace does not allow for sufficient breaks and bathroom time, and employees have also requested that the company increase wages and provide more paid vacation time.

Since the start of the pandemic, employee activism has increased, with demonstrations and demands for safety measures. Additionally, workers have claimed that Amazon has retaliated against both white-collar and blue-collar employees who have publicly criticized the company.

During the GeekWire Summit in October, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy admitted that the company could improve its treatment of employees. He stated, "If you have a large workforce like we do, with 1.2 million employees, it's almost like running a small country. There are many areas where we could do better."

Workers at Amazon's Staten Island facility in New York have voted to unionize, marking a significant victory for labor activists and a major blow to the company's long-standing anti-union stance.

An investigation into Amazon's labor practices has been launched by the House Oversight Committee, following a renewed focus on how the company treats its employees due to a deadly warehouse collapse in Illinois last year.

In response to increasing labor strife, Amazon committed to enhancing employee well-being. The company updated its list of leadership principles to include "Strive to be Earth's Best Employer," which reflects its corporate culture.

The company has expanded its benefits package to include college tuition coverage for its 750,000 hourly employees nationwide, with a commitment of $1.2 billion to help more than 300,000 employees upgrade their skills by 2025.

In 2018, Amazon established a minimum wage of $15 an hour for U.S. warehouse workers, and later increased its average starting pay to $18 an hour in the fall of the same year.
