Pros

While the job itself isn't thrilling, the community and benefits greatly make up for the work. You can tell the company really cares about its employees and works hard to retain them and train them well. Their benefits and bonuses are amazing for the work they ask of you. If you are someone that likes to clock in and out and live your life-- its a great job for you. If you want depth of interest in your work, it might be hard as a customer service rep here.

Cons

The work can feel a bit monotonous.

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.
