Pros

Benefits Most Weekends Off Some really good but over-looked people.

Cons

Everything else, management places value in the wrong people and promotes those that do not deserve it. Warehouse hourly pay, raises, and bonuses are lousy, management and sales rake it in. Management makes rash decisions, inconsiderately moves personnel while the employee has no choice in the matter. Warehouse associates are constantly physically pushed to their limits, and constantly being scrutinized, it is never good enough. They don't say it, but they essentially want you to run all day, in a non climate controlled warehouse. Some are forced to work overtime, while others get away with leaving on time. Its ok for some to be lazy and not work, while it is not ok for others to take a break. It seems like the bigger the salary, the less you have to work. Under staffed. Constantly feel threatened about losing your job, or being laid off. Lack of opportunities for those that truly deserve it. Yearly reviews are a waste of time and worthless, employees should be able to submit reviews of their supervisors. Trainees start in making more that warehouse associates that have been there for years.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
