Pros

5 day work week, incentive pay added with hourly pay each paycheck, plenty of Paid time off (more than most places) works with school schedules for college students,

Cons

Humid warehouse during summer with fans everywhere, always feeling pressured to make daily percentages that reflect your incentive pay( always a GoGoGo vibe), if you get a error for putting merchandise away wrong, you lose a percentage of your incentive pay, you only get Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years day off (you get off earlier the day beforehand) you do get time and a half for the holidays

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.
