Pros

none at all, maybe the cheap/free food

Cons

As a packer, I had to carry heavy load things. The full timers take the small easy to handle orders and they drive forklifts and use vehicles. While the part timers will pick shelves by hand and literally bend over to grab boxes weighing over 80kg. And they complain that we don't hit KPI

Pros

There are some great, inspiring, and passionate people who work there, but none of them are in leadership positions.

Cons

Leaders aren't held accountable for KPIs or poor behavior. Decisions are made by forum/committee/council, so there is no clear ownership or guidance. The Service Office/HQ leaders look down on the store and fulfillment center teams, making decisions based on assumptions rather than taking time to understand the reality on the ground.
