Pros

Hours are flexible, it can be accommodating for students.

Cons

I joined at a warehouse that was just starting up, within six months of operations beginning. There were very few actually safety standards when we started. If you are working full-time you have the opportunity to be promoted to giving out routes to other warehouse associates. That's the most advancement I saw anyone make from the basic warehouse associate position in two years working there. The facility I was at didn't allocate enough room between aisles, so when employees went to pick packages it's always expected to just be grinding your cart past four other people to get to an aisle you'd be picking at. They used to separate us by shift and arbitrarily pick time slots to make employees park in a parking lot about half a mile away from the facility, where a bus would come and bring you to the actual facility. Management and certain shifts just parked at the facility.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
