Pros

-Ability to grow/change positions within the company -Friendly/helpful associates and managers -no micromanagement -great company side 401k/Insurance contributions -good insurance plans -for hourly associates, overtime options are generally readily available to earn extra income a week -Exposure to learn new skills and develop in the workforce - dedicated training department -Current WFH/Hybrid WFH options for office based departments -Vacation and PTO options are very well thought out -Great equipment options; depending on the department they provide utility vans, phones, tablets, laptops, safety boot reimbursement, work clothing allowance, PPE, company vehicles, etc -Pretty easy communication across departments

Cons

-Too lean with staffing/Too much work on individual associates -base pay/salary is lower than average -standard work hour expectation is 50+ hours a week across departments in general -no bonuses for support departments - for hourly employees, taking a vacation means less pay that week ( no OT) and a pileup of work before you leave and when you come back which also affects team members -Weekend work isn't uncommon to keep from falling behind or meeting deadlines -Not uncommon for salary associates to rack up hours in unpaid OT territory

Pros

Everyone in the company genuinely wants to help you as a new associate. You are treated like an individual person rather than just a number. The flexibility of being able to work from home to spend more time with family is amazing.

Cons

No cons that I can think of

Pros

Good company to work for if you need to gain experience, or are young and want to build a long career. A lot of people here have been with the company 10+ years and have built meaningful lives for themselves and their families.

Cons

With so many people having worked only at this company for their entire careers, they are resistant to change. A lot of outdated systems. Pay is comparatively low, at least in the department I was in, and the workload is heavy so you are expected to work overtime. Leaves very little time for any kind of life outside of work.
