Pros

fast paced and demanding (in a positive way!) I started back in July 2008 as a level 1 warehouse associate and developed within the company through all tier levels and eventually as an Area Manager. So personally the company has excellent development opportunities.

Cons

Training is very basic and simplistic you have to make mistakes to learn as you are going really (I didn't really mind this!) Long working hours as an Area Manager. Contracted to 40 Hours PW we were working 13-14 hours a day during the peak Q4 seasons, on top of this you still find there are not enough hours in the day so I often worked at home for my administrative tasks - again I really didn't mind but others found this very daunting and deflating.

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.
