Pros

Good benefits, good co-workers, occasional bonuses when the company makes a ton of money. Food once a week.

Cons

Management, especially the immediate ones above productions have a lot to work on. There are great people but that's not a common denominator.

Pros

The benefits as of now are pretty generous which was an incentive in the first place (401k, dental, medical, vision etc.), catered food on Thursdays, first dibs on failed or returned merchandise from clothes to wireless chargers. The weekends are always off, Saturdays can be voluntary overtime, but it's rare to take place. If you want responsibility and experience in leadership-climbing roles, just ask. If you like overtime checks, they hand it out like candy. There are problems, but there are good people truly trying to make it a better working environment. The company is young (about 20 years old), I wrote a lot in the cons section, but I'm thankful for this competitively paying job, and the type of people that see this as their career.

Cons

Mandatory overtime gets old really fast, some people are for it $$ but it wrecks any attempts at a work-life balance (if you've normally been able to get things done during the week) and plays a role in the high turnover rate. I've had three different managers in almost six months, making for conflicting plans for job growth trajectories amounting to setbacks in pay-increase opportunities (since as a warehouse, they care about numbers). While it's great that management approves time off requests with little reason to say no when you have the hours, they sabotage team deployments constantly, for some people can be flexed in certain positions, while others cannot, so the burden falls on the same people to the point of frustration/exhaustion. They still use outdated electronics and software making for constant disruptions (we still have printers waiting on parts going on four months currently). The Golden Rule is in their motto, but there is weak synergy between day and night shift. If you have a series of skill sets, you will be moved around a lot, great for people who like to diversify their day, frustrating for those that one to stay in one place for the day.

Pros

A lot of the work is supremely easy and can be laid back, great people to work with.

Cons

Inexperienced management, a lot of favoritism, and constant changes. The company has changed drastically since 2015. Most of management is only there for the corporate ladder climb and will do anything to achieve it. Short notice overtime, a lot of it unnecessary and it’s all about numbers.
