Pros
Up until this week, I thought I could work here for my whole career...before I watched my friends be removed. I do like that this company (at least used to) give you an opportunity to learn and grow. It seems that movement between departments and areas is easy. You could start in the warehouse and end up in an office.
Cons
When I started, I was told this was a hire to retire company. I loved that about here. Then one day, I watched my friends get taken out. The layoffs weren't even reasonable. They removed people with the greatest seniority and the oldest in age. Sometimes whole departments were gone except one or two people. My team was lucky and only lost 2...but I'm not sure that was good really because they were the ones with the most experience. We were left with nothing. Before the people were even escorted out, their outlook access was turned off. Their meetings disappeared from calendars. Their work saved on their computers was gone. The ones of us left cannot keep up with the work they did when we cannot even access their information. I understand that sometimes layoffs are a necessary evil, but this process and the people chosen was truly evil. Before the layoffs, I had no negative experience with this company at all. Now, I am at an extreme frustration level and don't know if I can continue working for a place that can do that to their most loyal people.
