      Benefits say it all

      Pros

      The benefits are AMAZING. Great place to work. I left to go for advancement somewhere else. Also they are quick to get rid of the people that don’t perform.

      Cons

      They pretty much only want people with bachelors degrees for the warehouse jobs and you gotta have a big name degree to be a manager. Not much room for advancement, actually none at all since they bring all management in from the outside.

      Very good pay and benefits. Don't expect career growth at this company.

      Pros

      The outstanding is very good for the job I did compared to industry standards. Benefits: pension, profit sharing, tuition reimbursement (even for your kids), great medical coverage. These far outshine any package I've ever heard of. I was also surrounded by a lot of very bright fellow employees.

      Cons

      Statistically, it is impossible to get promoted or advance to positions of greater responsibility. Promotions are based on factors like company growth or expansion and others' advancement or exit. Growth doesn't happen very often at all. And when there is an opening, there are 30 people waiting for consideration. Good luck, since often its filled from outside. So look forward to 5, 10 years in your job before any real opportunities come your way.

      Great pay for mind-numbing work with no chance for advancement.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits well beyond what similar companies pay.

      Cons

      No hope of promotion beyond the most basic of lateral position shifts, and those are few and far between. Always having to work under a supervisor or manager that is only a few weeks removed from an ivy league classroom and lacking any real work/leadership experience.
