Pros

Computer work, four-day Full Time work week, they will pay for some college for you, even if you want to get into a different career but it's a slow process and you may be too exhausted from the warehouse work with little time for it, they have some seasonal advancement opportunities and in-side training that come up occasionally

Cons

On your feet on a concrete floor for entire shift (except three short breaks, two 15s and a half hour meal break), stingy with time off, difficult to advance from within unless you are minority, gay, trans. or a college grad. They hire college grads who haven't even worked their way up in the warehouse. If you are a straight Caucasian warehouse associate without a college degree consider going elsewhere before you wind up needing a chiropractor. They claim you can advance in two years but that is so you will be hopeful, work hard and stay, but it's unlikely as there are very few opportunities to advance at each warehouse and it's all affirmative action or college grads. If you have a job that requires lifting your entire shift, they won't acknowledge that your backache is work related. They have a rigged medical office system that will deny your claim and say you didn't stretch or lift properly. They will make you accountable and work you until you fall over only if you are Caucasian and straight, minorities and gays get away with everything there because the company is afraid of lawsuits accusing them of being racist.

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.
