Pros

Great Pay and profit sharing bonus. That's it!

Cons

Where does one start? Unless you graduated from an ivy league school you will never be a supervisor or MT or manager. was told that by HR. No forward advancement. Sups are shady and not your friends. You have a new supervisor every 3-6 months but you get evaluated every 6mths. How are they to give you a fair assessment? I have had managers copy an paste reviews. That's why I always keep all of mine. Whoever says there is great work-life balance is blind. The hours suck, being at work till after 7 pm after getting there before 10 is not a great work life balance.

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.
