Good company to work for. Competitive benefits that rival others. Poor pay.

Warehouse associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Insurance is affordable. PTO is 23 days in total including both vacation and sick time.

Cons

Poor pay. Horrendous management that has multiple issue to overcome. Favoritism as long as you follow what they tell you like a mindless robot. Retaliation when you question their moves in getting work done. Overtime is easily 10-12 hour days on a frequent basis despite the warehouse being understaffed. Management expects its employees to work more to make up the warehouse being hugely understaffed. Pay should be better to reduce the turnover rate and keep employees in longer so there would be better control over the OT. Overtime & poor pay is the reason why the turnover rate is a big deal.

Suicide is an option!

Business Outlook

Pros

Stressful, Will sap your sanity to the point were you start to question it. If you like or are able to lick your management's boot/feet then you will be fine, suck up to them as much as you can and don't try to voice yourself because you don't have one in the first place.

Cons

Almost all the men in are "castrated", meaning they won't try to oppose the management if they have differing issues, they will just follow what they say like tamed dogs. If they try to voice themselves, they will be "kindly" mocked and next thing you know they have been "castrated". No communicating. Management just loves ordering people around until they become haggard. The biggest con of them all, don't expect to have a life anymore. Your home is just a place for you to rest and have a break before you return back to your real "home", the workplace/work floor.

Very stressful and backstabbing environment.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are new to building your career and have no other possible employment choices, accept the job with the understanding that you will get some experience and then move on. Be prepared that they will hire a bunch of less experienced people because they tend to be cheaper and management will have someone to blame when things go wrong.

Cons

Do not make any personal investment that ties you to the area in which they are located. When their business is down or if someone in management makes an error, you will be cut, regardless of how well you performed.
