Anecdotal, but I have visited a few of the Amazon warehouses in the Seattle area. I was surprised by the amount of effort Amazon went to to emphasize safety, work-life balance, healthy activities, and good work habits. There were free vending machines for PPE everywhere, and during the lunch hour each day, managers led workers in 20 minutes of organized exercise to keep people active and moving.
This is just one cluster of US-based warehouses, and probably doesn't account for the working conditions in all Amazon warehouses, but it was far from a sweatshop and workers seemed genuinely content with their jobs.
