Pros

employee discounts and health benefits

Cons

-Favouritism- recently promoted individuals are inexperienced and disciplinary actions are not applied to other employees -anti-unionization-they gave out a letter to everyone, threatening anyone who would like to form a union will face consequences -racism in corporate management: does not encourage cultural diversity, majority of the non-white employees are not given the opportunity to be promoted, are closely watched and will be easily punished for petty mistakes -does not address issues fairly nor do they give opportunities for employees to voice out concerns. It didn't matter, they're not listening anyway -disregard for employees physical health: -chairs were removed from employees assigned to work with computers -hazardous workplace (falling objects, reckless forklift operators who are not punished because of yeah, favouritism) -got rid of the 15 minute break for employees working overtime. -terminates employees without evidence; 5 non-white high-performing employees were falsely accused of discouraging coworkers from signing up for overtime, they were fired the next day. on that same day, the management called for a meeting to use harassment as an excuse and told everyone that 5 were only suspended

Pros

With a good attitude and hard work the opportunities for growth are amazing. They take care of their employees and go above and beyond to be a family friendly employer. The founders are still a presence in the company. With one of the brothers still showing up to work every day, parking at the far end of the lot(to save thee closer spaces for everyone else) and walking around HQ all of the time.

Cons

During peak seasons work can get very intense with constantly changing focuses. You need to be ready and willing to switch up at the drop of a hat.
