Pros

There are a couple good bosses.

Cons

Most people here want to do Good work, but that is limited by the current CEO & HR who are under the foot of the owner who can't relinquish control to the CEO. With the last CEO & HR, it was a fun place to work. That CEO actually took the time to learn everyone's name and sat in the lunch room with the "lower" level people. No manager or VP is caught dead eating there. A dedicated employee is willing to put in extra effort and do "overtime" as neccessary, but there should leniency if we need to leave a half or to an hour early for a medical appointment! Some people arrive early, if we can't get that time back with a perk, nobody is going to start early if they arrive early, they'll wait to put in the time starting at 8. There is also no working through lunch to get to a medical appointment either any longer, lunch is mandatory.

Pros

Very clean and well organized wharehouse.

Cons

These are just my opinions and not stated facts. A lot of micromanaging goes on to the point that it's annoying. People don't work well together at the main distribution center. There are some nice people who work there, but far more annoying ones than good ones. Like others have said in their reviews, they don't care if something comes up in your personal life and you need to miss a day — you’re still going to get a point. They want you to be flexible and work overtime when needed, but they aren't willing to do the same. Overall, it's just bad management and a burnout job that will get you nowhere.
