Pros

A close drive to work from home. The benefits are subpar, the pay is low, the management is terrible.

Cons

I currently work here and can't wait for this company to go under. I continue to come into this toxic environment to work in the hopes they lay me off and I can collect unemployment. Allow me to break down this company for you: Management: Horrendous, they continually hire outside people who do nothing but collect a paycheck. They rarely promote within or take a look at the talent they already have. They love to hire middlemen managers who just have resume boosters like "Groupon" or some other fortune 500 company. Are these people great fits? Are they creating change? NOOOOOOOO. Do they make 6 figures a year and do nothing? YESSSSS (Where do I sign up?). It's annoying because they hire manager after manager who does absolutely nothing. Their skills are outdated, their managing style is nonexistent (Outside of delegating all their work to you while they work remotely at the beach smfh but true story), they typically bring nothing of change or hope to the table. - The above doesn't just apply to low-level management but also to executives. Some of the executives they hire are lost and hate anything that can change. Job Outlook: This is not a place for millennials or people with a brain. If you're looking for a challenge or to grow in your career this is not the place to be. Even if you're looking to learn more, this is not the place to be!!! Avoid, I learned more at my undergrad job at Chick Fil a. Job Security: LMAO none, employees fear for their jobs every day (outside of myself because I hope I can get fired to collect an unemployment check). Sometimes I feel bad for my coworkers they come in fearing that they will lose their job at any minute. Also, this is one of those companies that if you put in a 2-week notice they'll fire you on the spot. Pay: Extremely subpar compared to the minimum for my position in the rest of Maryland

Pros

The HQ in DC couldn't be located better and even though the facilities and equipment are 100 years old, they gave the office a nice little upgrade. There are some great people to work with who are very smart. Pay and benefits are decent. It's obvious management is sensing there is a problem as evident from the new VP of HR responses on here. I'm glad they are finally paying attention. The fake, glowing reviews aren't fooling anyone. Its a common HR practice. Just read them, no one talks like that in real life!

Cons

Questionable management practices that include leaving certain members of management on for far too long. Weird insider trading rumors. No one listens to the buyers who CONSISTENTLY complain about fake manifests, shoddy merchandise, poor customer service, and inflated shipping costs. Numbers like "X million registered buyers" are false and inflated. Virtually absent CEO who has his favorites. Marketing is a joke and still reeling from years of bad hires and management decisions. ZERO company culture. Yelling and door slamming. Too many meetings that are filled with empty, business jargon by people who are trying to sound more important/arrogant than they really are.

Pros

The pay was good, and there were many very hard working people within each of the groups.

Cons

Starting with LOT; This is a train wreck on it's way. Get a chair and wait by the tracks to watch the crash! The biggest mistake here is that although there are contract firms that do this and can provide an excellent service, the company has decided to spend millions of dollars (14 Million is the number I heard) to do this themselves. Bad management decision. They will wind up with an inbred system, that only insiders will know how to operate and manage. This however will cement their jobs with the company. This seems to be the case throughout the organization. Second biggest mistake is the investment in Iron Direct. Why would you find the biggest, most entrenched competitor in the world, and try to compete against them? I see this going from a 15M initial investment, and going 5M at a time more, up to 25M before they pull the plug on this giant mistake. Someone also mentioned earlier about how the sales group in the Houston office is way too entrenched in the decision making. There is no one in a leadership position that is strong enough to make the right decisions to change the direction. They will flow with the tide of oil, but never get far from the beach.
