Pros

pay is good have weekly bonuses and medical good 401k a few good supervisors Like Ron and Xiong, John are great and treat every one as equals.

Cons

hard to move around unless you are buddy buddy with them doesn't matter if you have experience they pass you up and give you the run around then train someone below you who has no experience. Also they cover up for their own circle and write up others for the dumbest things like putting a person on a final for running over a stick and letting someone slide for crashing and denting a rack to much favoritism. Also ask for to much and never want to hear what needs to change if they do they don't act on it.

Pros

Tuition Reimbursement program available to all employees after probationary period. A green company that cares about its environmental impact. Typically open management positions are given to internal candidates after interviewing.

Cons

Salary for office is sub-par for the market. Benefits have gone down hill over the last several years but still competitive for whats on the market. The company being a warehouse often makes policies based off that part of the business with little to no consideration to office associates. Management and associates workload is often extreme and unmanageable.
