      Pros

      I started at 5.11 Tactical as a Service Specialist at one of the highest volume stores in the company and dived straight into Ship from Store operations and feel in love with it. I was welcomed with open arms from colleagues, supervisors and district managers. This company puts the customer first and takes care of their employees.

      Cons

      I would love to see more team members put in decision making or advisory boards, as I experienced this in college.
