      Pros

      The work environment is relaxed, the pay is good to start on par with others in this industry my hours work great for me.

      Cons

      pay increases could be more than 2 to 3 percent of your pay per year, incentives should be employee based not on the warehouse as a whole, better training for incoming employees.

      Pros

      1. (Depending) on what you negotiate pay can be good. 2. New management has helped improve the overall flow of work. VERY RECENTLY 3. NEW & BETTER MANAGEMENT

      Cons

      1. Lingering tension from old management and workers due to neglect of worker needs and training. 2. Your BONUS that they tell you so much about is group based. You will NEVER see it. It is not only based on group but also based on how management places everyone. Have fun trying to get that! 3. OVERTIME is NOT EQUAL but MANDATORY: Depending on your shift you will expect 2 hours of overtime everyday, while others do hardly any. 4. Very EMOTIONAL: angering a lead or manager can be the end of your happy days at work until either you or the manager/lead is gone. 5. Moving to a different department is based on how hard you over work yourself. Be a average worker and kiss your development goodbye.
