Pros

Pay is decent, good benefits and treats for employees. Onsite cafeteria with very inexpensive but good food, company events and corporate discounts.

Cons

All the pros are ruined by the obvious politics. I work in the distribution center so I don't know how it is in Draper, but here it is very obvious how differently management will treat friends and family. I came into the company hoping to grow and worked hard to move up, but I was passed over by a coworker that had been there LESS THAN 6 MONTHS, but was buddy-buddy with the supervisor. Lot of people are friends from high school or relatives and look out for each other. Work here if you're looking for just a paycheck, expect to ve treated unfairly (unless you are friends with management.)

Pros

Movies, company parties. Supervisors were helpful

Cons

I was able to make around $800 a month in bonus, but it was restructured so I got a $1 pay raise and the highest bonus I could get was $300. Not really fair. There was never an opportunity to advance in the company
