Pros

Helps get reading material into the hands of children across the globe.

Cons

Management at the Distribution Center is stale. Too many people have been in positions of authority for too long. Old ways of doing business. Need new blood at the top. Although they recruit leaders with "Continuous Improvement" experience, they show no real interest in making change or truly changing anything. Not interested in hearing new ideas. Antiquated systems. Top-down "do as I say" management style. No collaboration between Managers and Supervisors. Toxic work atmosphere. Lots of retention bonuses and incentives for hourly staff, but absolutely NOTHING for exempt staff. The reason given? "The attrition rate in the exempt staff is not an issue." Well that is changing quickly. I personally was straight up lied to in my interview process. I was told that we don't work much OT. "Maybe an occasional 9-hr day and a 5-hr Saturday. We've been on 9-hrs and 8-hr Saturdays for 5 months with no end in sight.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
