Pros

Decent pay to start out. Easy to get the job, PTO, vacation and unpaid time available on day 1.

Cons

Raises are supposed to be every 6 months but only got 1 in a year and it was a whole 20 cents, which everyone received. I have multiple roles including problem solver, ambassador, I train, audit, resolve problems and kick-outs from smart pac machines, and slam, make sure priority packages go out on time...etc. but no raises with the sometimes extreme additional work and responsibilities. Difficult to keep a positive attitude when the employees you train are getting the same wage as you.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
