Pros

Good benefits, they offer a good amount of PTO, after a year there you can get some days off or take a vacation and if you're a hard worker you can make a solid $40-45k a year

Cons

Every year management comes up with something new to try and take back some of the production bonuses, it's always something new, some new meeting where a supervisor or manager tells everyone in the department that they're screwing up at something and it can't continue the sky is falling wah wah wah but then oh yeah you guys are doing a great job production is #1 in the whole company keep up the good work.

Pros

There are not too many.

Cons

Long hours; indefinite out times; no flexibility; poor communication; lack of respect for warehouse worker is built into the culture; toxic environment with petty politics and high school type drama; rules applied based on convenience and like ability and not job performance; office management is out of touch with the warehouse environment and work processes, this means implanted solutions are usually underwhelming and off track; continued feedback is requested and given but those issues are ignored over and over. Responses are band aids at best and flagrant disregard is more likely. No planning for busy season- WHERE IS THE BENCHMARKING?!; understaffed, under resourced, and over managed (with about 3 more layers of middle management than is needed). The environment is dirty, not temp controlled, warehouse staff is expected to housekeep in addition to the actual job. This job is incentive based and NOTHING is valued but faster- until you make a mistake and then you’re reminded about safety and quality.
