Pros

Weekly Pay - 13.55/hr is decent pay if you need something guaranteed and fast.

Cons

This is a classic example of a "good ole boy" network. All of the senior jobs are held by white men. For the good jobs, they don't promote from within. They will find an outside candidate, most likely a friend of someone in HR or corporate. The incentive plan is ambiguous and has steadily declined for several years in a row. Turnover is ridiculously high, and most of the individuals willing to work there are young/criminals/mexican/desperate. The pay is 13.55 hourly for 2nd shift and they do offer overtime if you can handle the environment. There is a lot of micro - management from a poor management team. You will work all holidays and overtime is mandatory depending on company needs. They act like they care about employees but it's clear the bottom line is most important. The overall morale of the Gainesville, GA RSC is low and serious changes need to be made. If customers knew how filthy this place was, they would second guess ordering products from here.

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.
