Pros

Severance Pay Non-discrimination policy included sexual orientation and gender expression Matching 401K Decent wage for hourly Good HR and company structure Learned a lot Clean work environment I'm really having a difficult time coming up with a lot of positive things to say, but it did have an ethics and a HR line to call concerning problems.

Cons

There was a lot of favoritism and discrimination against older workers and heavier people. You could work for years at this company and all of a sudden--laid off. They really love taking advantage of young people, fresh out of college, working salaried employees an obscene amount of hours then they eventually lay you off, give your job to a younger person or someone you trained overseas or in a different department. The environment is pretty hostile, a lot of back-biting, and there were mass layoffs on a regular basis along with individual layoffs peppered along the way.

Pros

You get to work on real supply chain problems that actually matter to operations, not just theoretical stuff. Remote flexibility is solid and the work-life balance is fair. The tech stack is modern (Snowflake, Azure, Power BI) and if you're someone who takes initiative, you'll get the chance to own things end-to-end. The people you work with day-to-day are genuinely good and most teams have a collaborative culture.

Cons

Growth from senior level and beyond can be painfully slow even when you're clearly doing the work above your role. Leadership and org changes happen often which resets your visibility and momentum with whoever is advocating for you. Some areas still lack clear ownership so things fall through the cracks or land on whoever is willing to pick them up. Pay doesn't always reflect the scope of what you're actually doing.
