Pros

It looks great on a resume to work at such a well known fortune 500 company and the discounts you can get from discontinued items from vendors are great.

Cons

There were no opportunities for growth in such a time of recession. Any jobs that may have been available were outsourced to temp agencies instead of hiring within the company. Even though the company wasted time training new people with no knowledge of the company, it saved them money in the long run beside they can pay temps the starting salary and no health care. I think that one of a company's first priority should have been to save a few people from being laid off.

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!!!
