Pros

Strong pay scale, incredible benefit package, nice facilities

Cons

Favoritism, broken promises, no reward for loyalty or years of service. Company will boast about a work-life balance, but nothing can be farther from the truth. Your 10 years to the company are the equivalent as the first year employee when it comes to moving employees to better jobs and better work hours. Management believes that you shouldn't get the better hours after showing the company years of quality work. They'll move your hours back tomorrow without warning. Good place to work if you don't have kids or your kids are older and getting home at 7pm doesn't matter to you.

Pros

- Pay/benefits are incredibly generous - People are generally easy/nice to work with - Note that the Systems department seems to be fairly isolated from the negative issues discussed in other reviews (e.g. tension between warehouse workers and management) - I haven't experienced any of those issues within the systems department. In my opinion, Systems is a great place to work and develop as an engineer. - Hybrid work style (3 days in office). Personally, I like hybrid more than both fully in-office and fully remote styles. - Great cafeteria with good food and cheap prices. - Good work/life balance (outside of being on call, I can leave work at work).

Cons

- Work is not super interesting to me. I come from a highly technical, but very different (not ecommerce/industrial supplies), background where I was doing work I was much more interested in. No doubt there are folks in Systems who love the domain though. - While I'm not on call a ton (1-2 weeks every few months), I really hate being on call. I like to leave work at work. Note that joining at least one reliability team is expected within your first year or so.
