Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Some people get to work from home.

Cons

High turnover in all areas, especially in HR which is a huge red flag. Warehouse workers are overworked and underpaid, office employees have decent pay but there's more than a few bad managers. Policies are inconsistent, some people are forced to come back to the office while others in the same position get to stay home. Each department plays by its own rules and collaboration is non-existent. Managers speak poorly of remote employees in front of onsite employees. Leadership will use you as a scapegoat for their own poor decisions, and people fall in and out of favor very easily based on how good they can make a leader look. If it's easier to place blame on an employee and get rid of them to make leadership look good, that's exactly what they'll do. You'll hear nothing but good things until the employee is gone, and then they feed the rumor mill and make former employees look bad to save face. No one is safe unless they've been with the company many years and are a friend of the Ellsworth family - long-term managers and those in power positions are the worst offenders in this company.

Pros

Training is amazing , warehouse is very very efficient. A lot of great people work there.

Cons

Micromanaging they sing you for every little mistake. That will affect your quarterly bonus if you get one. System is easy to learn but warehouse inventory system isn’t linked with order entry system

Pros

Work life balance is good

Cons

Management has favorites. WFH? If you don’t get approval in writing don’t bother because they will try to find a way to get rid of you if they don’t like you. The manager was never in office so I never found a way to gain a relationship and trust her it was the complete opposite actually….The manager is an immensely insecure person that requires constant validation from their subordinates and has engaged in three faced tactics to exploit HR into firing people the manager doesn’t like. (Not saying gender as I don’t feel that’s irrelevant and want to keep things confidential)
