Pros

I've been with the company just over a year now. Just after I started with teh company, they opened a WFH policy, which is different for each department, but it has open a major door for flexibility and a Work/life balance. The Pay and compensation is competitive for the market and the flexibility (outside of month end close) has been beyond fair. Compensation, with all things considered, is more than just the pay, and the compensation, (benefits, pay, flexibility including WFH and flex time) have been great. I see the company frequently promotes from within, so there are numerous Growth Opportunities, or opportunities to learn new things, although the opportunities to move up the "corporate ladder" are not abundant, but there are many opportunities to move in different directions.

Cons

Long hours during month end close Bi-Monthly Payroll. Long hiring process... My hiring process took just over 2 months from the time that I interviewed to the day that I started. Part of the delay was the merger that had recently taken place, additionally, there was a tiered process that required steps that had to be completed before the hire date was granted...

Pros

Great pay, easy work, plenty of hours.

Cons

Some of the people who work in the warehouses are lazy and they have the so called manager wrapped around their finger, So you end up doing their job and yours. The manager won’t do anything because he is just as lazy as the warehouse guy. And is scared of the consequences if he actually does his job and disciplines the sorry ———‘s So the real workers are the only ones that suffer. That very manager told me two weeks before becoming the manager over the shipping department that he didn’t think he would become the manager because he had already told the other managers that we have to stop over working our real workers to cover up for our non workers. I told him that night he would be the same way as soon as he got the position, And if he did that I would be the first to tell him. Point being: If you are a lazy piece of trash and have no self respect or work ethics this is the place for you. Bad thing is that you can not get in touch with anyone that has any interest in cleaning up (this particular terminal ) of a very good company.
