Pros

The people here are genuinely great, not only incredibly hard working but also deeply caring about both their work and one another. It’s clear that everyone takes pride in what they do, and that sense of dedication shows in every interaction. The culture is supportive, collaborative, and driven, making it a place where people truly want to do their best and help others succeed along the way.

Cons

There’s definitely a lot to learn especially at the beginning, which can feel overwhelming at times but it also means you’re constantly growing and developing new skills.

Pros

pay (hourly for year 1 and salary for year 2) travel reimbursement/planning for work people are friendly and helpful good healthcare that is somewhat customizable... could be better but overall its pretty good paid sick leave 2 floating holidays (though only because we don't get 9 required federal holidays off) hour lunch break (unpaid) Occasional outings/events but pretty rare and usually occur on weekends Very ethical business practices stable career path with good pay in coming years profit sharing

Cons

2 weeks paid vacation until year 6, then 3 until year 16 long hours (7-5 M-F) and occasional weekends not the most fun work. Lots of warehouse stuff in all positions and can get boring at times Systems very outdated Work/life balance does not exist here Corporate will constantly try to brainwash you into thinking they have competitive benefit plans... they don't especially for 50+hr weeks
