Pros

Going home everyday. Nothing much.

Cons

If you want work life balance, stability then do not work here. New leadership in this company is terrible!! If you try to express your concerns, the management will do exactly the opposite. You will always be stressed here. They treat employees like bunch of robots. There were no sense of good directions. The manager I had didn't even know half of the process within the dept. Manager didn't listen to any of ideas and played favortisim. There was no motivation after the company got merged and felt demotivated all the time. So far I have never worked for a toxic company like this one. Very cheap people. Insurance they provided was very expensive. It was not like how it used to be. Focus on keeping quality people and the quality of the work output instead. The CEO and CFO acts like they care but reality is totally the opposite. They will fake everything to make it look like they care.

Pros

Strict no overtime policy resulted in consistent work schedules and work life balance. Gained valuable skills and maintained inventory accuracy with the WMS. Developed strong attention to detail due to the high accuracy needed for the job.

Cons

Denied combined cost of living and performance increase based on a single day of lateness, resulting in a corrective action report. Company handbook specifies that any corrective action prevents receiving either increase. Disconnected corporate structure and poor communication from main office. Branch mostly left unsupervised but held to unclear standards without training. High turnover due to management unwilling to pay living wage, causing difficulty hiring and retaining staff, especially in higher cost areas. Company focus on short-term 'resilience training' shifts the burden of burnout to employees, rather than addressing systemic issues like unlivable wages and profit-driven management practices.
