Pros

Reasonable rate of pay, work with and met some amazing people. You'll learn a lot about yourself in terms of how much your can physically and mentally take.

Cons

District Managers who have never pulled a pallet in their life expect the world from you. Never seem to appreciate all the hard work the staff put in. Regardless of blowing their targets out of the water they'll still find something to complain about and bring your morale down. Horrifically poor work/life balance. Expected to work for free to "save hours"

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
