Pros

I enjoyed the team atmosphere and my immediate supervisor (Doug) was great and easy to talk to. The benefits were good but the pay was average at best.

Cons

I spent 2 years as a warehouse associate doing everything I could to excel at my position and hit target numbers. However, this became increasingly difficult due to system changes and employee expectations despite numerous attempts to convey what I was experiencing with the pick flow. Immediate supervisors were great, but our department lead didn't seem to care and wouldn't take any concerns voiced into consideration. Because of this I didn't get a single raise in almost 3 years even after asking for advice. It took taking another position in the company to get a $4/hr raise. My issues were rarely with the company itself or the culture, it was with warehouse management specifically. There seem to be a different set of rules that they play by. I learned this by asking my mother, who is still an employee, about some things I experienced. For instance I was reprimanded for using sick time that was allotted to me (not going over or abusing mind you) because I got sick twice with sinus infections.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

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!!!
