Pros

Picked orders on forklift. Easy work Great Benefits Adequate breaks Lots of Overtime - (Mandatory) 45-50 hour work week so ample opportunity for hours.

Cons

Hard work and productivity are not appreciated or encouraged. Everyone seems to be there just to get paid. Communication between management, and to all employees is astonishingly bad. No one knew what was going on, and procedures were constantly changing to the point that it effected production immensely. MUST be a yes man to move up in the Operations/Warehousing departments. If you are any kind of threat to management you will be left alone, and that's a bad thing. I left because there was no advancement potential whatsoever. Might be different now but it was just ok, at best.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
