Pros

The only real reason to work here would be if you were currently unemployed. There is nothing here that sets it apart from any other warehouse in a good way. Only negatives for the hourly wage employees.

Cons

-Management Does Not Care About Employees -Management Takes Long Breaks During the Workday, leaving employees with little or no production to take care of in the mean-time. This leads to staying late every night simply because management does not care that a regular employee may not want to live at the warehouse. -Promotions to Facebook Friends and Outside Hires, The only opportunity you have at Newegg is to get in there and brown-nose your way into being Facebook friends with the supervisors. Then you can go to the bar with them, have some drinks, have some laughs, and finally end up as a team lead or future supervisor. There is no other way for regular employees to take advantage of promotion opportunities. -Incompetence, a majority of the overtime in the Indianapolis warehouse stems from an inability to get their systems running properly. You know how the definition of crazy sometimes just means trying the same thing repetitively while expecting different results? Yeah, that's basically how this place operates daily. -Hostility, if you act as a worker advocate (such as bringing issues of fairness to the forefront of a conversation) you are immediately met with active hostility from top level management. Simply put, any bad words about how the company is being ran will net you a number of office visits and threats to your job security. -Liars and Con artists. See the review below titled "Once in a Lifetime Opportunity in Indianapolis, IN" That was not written by any regular employee at Newegg Inc. I know this because I was a very social and friendly individual who could get along with almost everyone at the workplace. The general tone of the entire warehouse environment is one of being fed up, looking elsewhere for employment, and downright outrage at the continued expectation to live and bleed Newegg at the cost of your life outside of work. This person purposefully tried to put a good review of the company into a slew of bad reviews solely for PR reasons (the Lt. Governor recently visited the warehouse for its "grand opening"). That ENTIRE review is a load of horse manure. -Talentless by design, they claim to hire only the best and most experienced. Yet they still take no advice from those same experienced people. You have team leads in this warehouse who know next to nothing about management and proper production efficiency. You have one team lead that simply follows a supervisor around all day because he likes her... she does little to no work during the course of a 10 hour shift. Everyone that shows exceptional ability is pushed out in favor of promoting Supervisor/employee friendships. The smartest people are given the most menial tasks, the hardest workers are left to do the work of an entire department by his/herself until they reach a breaking point.

Pros

Great learning opportunities with exposure to multiple aspects of the business. Fast-paced environment that encourages continuous growth and adaptability. Clear team structure and well-defined responsibilities, allowing employees to stay focused and execute efficiently. Plenty of opportunities to take ownership of projects and make a meaningful impact. Collaborative teams and strong cross-functional communication.

Cons

As a global company with a diverse workforce, communication styles can vary across teams. In some situations, discussions may take place in languages other than English, which can occasionally create challenges for employees who are not fluent in those languages.
