Pros

They have a flexible schedule and allow part timers to purchase some health insurance. Employees get at least a 40% discouont on products.

Cons

Nepotism, favoritism, and the rewarding of snooping and "tattling" on so-workers. Environment is "Faster! Faster!" with significant risk of injury while unloading trucks. The annual review process is an insult, and the percentage raise concept is equally insulting.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
