Pros

Overall it was a pretty good place to work. There was the right amount of pressure to push people to strive for better. As well, there was a lot of inter-department collaboration - it took a while to get to that point, but once it was done, it was nice.

Cons

The HUMAN RESOURCES department should really focus on being a resource to the humans who work there. They seemed to be more interested in propelling their own careers and getting face time with the CEO. It was actually easier to get a meeting with the CEO than it was to get a meeting with just about ANYONE in the HR department. They were really focused on name-dropping, and if you didn't have the right name or title, then good luck.

Pros

Let me preface this by saying I worked at corporate, I don't know anything about the drivers or warehouse workers. -Salaries are good -Work life balance is good -The people are really nice pretty much across the board although sometimes it can be to a fault.

Cons

The technology is insanely outdated. Literally using software designed a designed a decade before my birth, that is not an exaggeration. People are often hired based on personal relationships, which is not unusual, but then those people don't have to do anything. If you're put to work on a team with someone who went to the right church or something you're going to have to do all of their work. The culture promotes the diffusion of responsibility, so you're not rewarded on doing extra, nor are you punished for not doing anything. The result is an incredible aspiration to mediocrity. Everyone seemed unhappy when I was there. The benefits are pretty terrible. No 401k match, the ESOP program takes a minimum of 9 years to see anything and it's pretty unclear how it even works.
