Pros

Pay, Benefits, Retirement, Education Stipend, and Non-management Coworkers are all phenomenal. I loved this job and company during my internship and my full-time role under my first three managers.

Cons

The commute is atrocious from the city. Upper management is extremely out of touch. The company touts diversity initiatives but higher-ups have made me and other coworkers feel uncomfortable on several occasions. It's very unusual how myself and other men of color always get placed in warehouse roles with more in-person time and less favorable hours than our white counterparts. Finally, your manager's opinion of you determines your entire life and future at this company. I performed extremely well and absolutely loved the company under my first three managers; however, my most recent manager was very inconsiderate and caused several problems with the team due to a huge ego combined with very little understanding of our processes. This manager made my life and the lives of several of my teammates horrible for a year. I finally had enough and am so happy that I left.

Pros

If you’re on a team that aligns with things you’re interested in and that has a good culture, you’ll have a good experience.

Cons

If you end up on a team that isn’t what you enjoy, you’ll have a hard time really enjoying your experience there.

Pros

Excellent entry level benefits and salary

Cons

I was moved to a different department without and consideration for my opinion or position. I never had experience working customer service before they moved me there and I was left wondering why they made this decision for me. The feigned that I would be learning new skills that would benefit the company as a whole and that I should just “try it out and see how I like it”. I gave them a full year of working customer service and I continued to struggle during that time. All while changing my team manager 3 times and having to explain my disposition over again without being heard. At the end of that year I asked to be moved to a different department and they told me that was not possible.
