Pros

I do receive a paycheck on a regular basis, however small it may be... Free adobe suite and MS Office. 401K matching up to 5%

Cons

Everything about this place is terrible. You are forced to upsell overpriced useless crap (POM- product of the month) to EVERY customer or you get in trouble. They keep increasing workload and sales goals while decreasing payroll and support staffing. Everything is overpriced compared to the competitors leading to angry customers. You are forced to be a “sleazy salesman” and upgrade customers to print in color and on upgraded paper without asking to increase the price on an already overpriced print project. You are forced to tell customers that their package will not make it through the shipping process and repack the items at an additional cost on top of already ridiculous shipping costs. If a coworker quits they will not replace them adding even more work to an already overworked employee. “Tenured” employees get to sit on their ass and do nothing while the few hard workers are forced to pick up even more slack. Management at the center level is never actually in the center. Mid management at the corporate level do nothing but send out emails making sure your upselling your “poms” and forcing customer to pay to have their items re-packed(pack and ship). Corporate rolls out new policies every week, and then 95% of said policies are cancelled without notice, so by the end of a 3 month cycle you have 18 different procedures on how to fill out simple paperwork but nobody really knows which one is right. They “promote from within” only because they can limit your pay increase on promotions regardless of increase in workload/responsibility/cost of living (if moving to a more expensive area). They just increased the cost of healthcare and lowered the actual benefits provided.

Pros

Good work life balance, hours are flexible, team members are pretty nice overall, benefits are good, company is stable and job security is good

Cons

Way too many things to remember, they say “you don't have to remember everything, just know where you can figure it out” and thats all fine and good but there are so many places to go and you have to know where, and despite what they say there are things you cant find anywhere and just have to know, so many systems are just confusing and have no real guidelines to follow, and thats not to mention that every manager has there own places where they do it either the fedex way or their own way, and you never know until you get called out for doing something. Pay is also pretty low and the only way to make more is take on management roles
