Pros

Free boots, free coffee/tea and some of the colleagues were nice.

Cons

Supervisor would shout at staff in Dutch who didn't understand Dutch - Openly name calling and yelling at staff. High turnover of order picker staff in the warehouse due to poor treatment. The supervisors also did not respect the clock in times for staff, I clocked in on time and was accused of being late because my supervisor had not "seen" me so claimed i was 5 mins late. This was shocking as I had used a clock in card but they did not care and just tried to belittle me so I walked out.
