Pros

Set hours Some nice people to work with No rewards Okay money

Cons

Set hours - can't change your shifts, Back breaking work 'pick rates' - targets to hit No one is reprimanded for not doing their job. (Have seen violence in workplace and still didn't get sacked!) If you're good at your job, they don't press you. They keep you picking so it makes the management look better. Large staff turnover.

Pros

The is quite a bit of upward momentum. The house are decent. If you work in HQ or Warehouse analytics, you get work from home days.

Cons

The direction the global IT team is moving is devastating. They have gutted all of the most valuable analytics tools. I cant say for sure if it will improve.
