Pros

Cool office, and some cool employees from other deprtaments not from audit.

Cons

Toxic work environment, condescending “leadership”, it’s basically a call center since they require 50 outbound calls a day while expecting you to collect

Pros

If you're happy with being grateful for a job

Cons

eCommerce review: No structure, No growth and development. No recognition. Not a safe place. Employee cars are broken into frequently with no care or support from the company. Senior Management team is non supportive to floor supervisors and operation managers. Hush money raises are given when concerns are addressed

Pros

Due to union you get 10 sick days, 10 vacation days on your first year, and premium health care at a good cost.

Cons

As more functions you learn, there is no room for wage negotiation as its a union environment. If you are a good asset you get awarded with more work that other people do not want to do. Also the company is heading to a direction with no goal or gain. Also lay offs happen yearly.
