      Pros

      It's impossible to find another company to offer fresh graduates from college a chance to manage a department of 30 employees more than twice their age. The company offers generous pay and excellent benefits including tuition reimbursement and non-contribution profit-sharing

      Cons

      While it offers an excellent professional development opportunity, the work is not glamorous on paper or in real life. Also, warehouse management is physically demanding. The management team is extremely detail-orientated.

      Pros

      Good benefits. That is the only thing positive about this company.

      Cons

      You get good benefits but in exchange the managers y supervisors make you live miserable. No respect to regular employees. Reviews completely misrepresent the work of the employees. Employees are harassed in every review. Employees are constantly threatened to be fired if perceived as not doing a perfect job. Even when over 99% of what you do is perfect, they still tell you that you do not meet expectations.

      Perfect for some, but make sure you understand what your job will be!

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits. Good opportunities if you are employed with the intention of moving to management roles. Tuition reimbursement is a huge benefit that allows employees to gain a top-notch education while employed. I really respect the companies basic values and think it provides a respectful and professional work environment.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, I don't think they give most employees a real sense that they can advance within the company. Promotions from hourly to salaried positions are few and far between. Overall attitude seems to be that if employees are paid enough they will be happy. This isn't true, especially when young supervisors with little management experience are encouraged to "try new things" without always being held accountable by their own managers.
