Not a Great Place

Pros

A lot of opportunity for a person who thrives on a “startup “ business model. Smart people, for the most part, and lots of room to instruct senior members on how to do things better.

Cons

Old school mentality. If you are a person who wants cultural diversity, open communication, room to grow (with little to no politics), no overt sexual harassment, etc. This is not the organization for you.

Pros

Pay is good most people are friendly.

Cons

Too much forced overtime. Don’t expect to move up in this company unless you are sucking up to a higher up because favoritism is huge here. Higher ups are out of touch. They don’t listen to suggestions to help fix anything. The warehouse is a mess and so is the yard. Half of the forklifts and other machines that you need to do your job is always broken down. They also don’t take safety concerns sadly so if you get hurt, that’s on you. Expect to work 5 ten hour shifts every week and every other Saturday. Over this is not a good place to work long term at all.

Not a good place to work.

Pros

Financially they do well and they are well positioned to continue to have success. It's a sector that is necessary. Climate change will continue to keep their products popular.

Cons

They are entirely disorganized. Some folks hardly work at all and no one cares, some people are overworked and burning out. There's no cohesive culture. Your experience will entirely depend on who you have for a manager. They don't get rid of problems - they put a bandaid on it, cover it up, or ignore it entirely. They put all the energy into looking good -- investing in good PR and entering meaningless contests for cool work space so they look good (without showing the majority of the building is a cubicle farm and they made cosmetic investments just to win these silly accolades.) It is a very unwelcoming place for women and minorities.
