Pros

The HVAC works well. That's about it. Good Coworkers, mostly.

Cons

Harassment, Discrimination, Prejudice. Rules will be set, then changed a week later as if they never existed. When you ask about the rule they claim it never happened. Then the same rule gets changed a week later. They cannot accurately run their program; setting their employees for success, giving accurate knowledge or information to be successful. Then they blame the employee for not achieving 100% perfection. Basically they set you up for failure then berate you for it. Its giving narcissistic relationship breakup feels.

Pros

There are not too many.

Cons

Long hours; indefinite out times; no flexibility; poor communication; lack of respect for warehouse worker is built into the culture; toxic environment with petty politics and high school type drama; rules applied based on convenience and like ability and not job performance; office management is out of touch with the warehouse environment and work processes, this means implanted solutions are usually underwhelming and off track; continued feedback is requested and given but those issues are ignored over and over. Responses are band aids at best and flagrant disregard is more likely. No planning for busy season- WHERE IS THE BENCHMARKING?!; understaffed, under resourced, and over managed (with about 3 more layers of middle management than is needed). The environment is dirty, not temp controlled, warehouse staff is expected to housekeep in addition to the actual job. This job is incentive based and NOTHING is valued but faster- until you make a mistake and then you’re reminded about safety and quality.
