BEST COMPANY IV'E EVER WORKED FOR!

Warehouse staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

friendly, inclusive, fast-paced, steady work. you can work at your own pace (within reason) and they are very accommodating to all types of people. you have plenty of work always so job sequrity is not something to worry about. i am very anti-social and i have terrible social anxiety which has made it terribly difficult to find a job that works and it was near impossible for me to stay at a job more than a year. this is my 3rd year at the best job ive ever worked at. they really create a family atmosphere. not suitable for poor workers.

Cons

communication isnt great i cant do much physical work these days and despite the fact that i can work circles around our IT department, have a great head for management and organization, and a plethora of skills that would greatly improve the workplace for the company, the warehouse, and myself yet time and time again I sit silently as someone who is thoroughly under-qualified try and not succeed making everyone's life a living nightmare, including me. they seem to want to promote people who are loud and animated, and that is just not me. that is the only thing that upsets me.

Pros

Great environment enjoyed having fun with employees and customers. Great discount.

Cons

Upper management was horrible went thru 3 DMs cause of realignment in 2 years i was there. Had personal sales goals you had to achieve on top of training new people with no extra hours for it. Upper management was never positive always putting us down treating us like children. No support system to managers al all.
