Pros

I have been on assignment from a temp agency for a little over a month... The pay is good and the people are nice.. Looking to get hired full time and I think it might work out. I have worked at another VERY large distributor very close who pays way less works way more hours and doesn't really care about the temps being brought in. At least here if you can work hard you shine and they want to treat you ok to keep you

Cons

Not on a steady bus line and right now working 6 days to get through busy season. Some managers have a difficult time communicating but where they lack others help you understand

Pros

Honestly, I had so much freedom when creating and working with other departments when developing the products. The team was trying to create a more transparent environment by setting up weekly meetings and one on ones. Great place to learn from and also pick up a few good friends too!

Cons

I can go on and on but overall the communications between departments was the worst. Upper management was a mess. Often felt my department was disregarded despite working so hard to please them and also create pieces that we loved. Within the department, everyone was working so much that they didn't have time to team build, brainstorm, or even just develop the products better. We just kept going the same subpar way just because we didn't have time to innovate. In addition, we have very limited choices in manufacturing due to specific relationships we had with the manufactures over in Asia.
