Pros

- There are a few pleasant people working here. - A few OK benifits eg. fruit, drinks, yoga classes

Cons

- Very poor management at every level. - Staff considered a disposable resource - very high turn over, no attempt to accommodate concerns, aspirations etc - Promotion is based on length of service not merit so there are a lot of incompetent people in senior and management positions. - Blame culture/scapegoating/bullying are rife - errors and failures are pinned on individuals not discussed as how it went wrong at each stage and can be rectified. People are singled out (often for things they had no involvement) - Expected to work considerably over contract hours with no compensation - Very low staff morale and satisfaction, everyone is unhappy in their job - Punished if contact HR about concerns - Performance reviews are tokenistic at best, your point of view doesn't matter only that of your manager which is often wildly inaccurate. - Equipment and programmes not fit for purpose, makes doing job very difficult. - Ambition and initiative are punished not encouraged - Disorganised in every aspect - Firmly believe that having Friday beers and company events makes up for all of the above. - The person who shouts loudest gets their way regardless of merit - Poor product and questionable processes makes it hard to get behind

Pros

Great product discounts and nice corporate offices.

Cons

Very poorly run company. The distribution center operations is a very toxic boys club, rife with blame culture and senior leadership throwing junior leaders under the bus. Good ideas from the "wrong" people aren't listened to, and bad ideas from the "in crowd" are pushed through – and quickly fail. Building and executing effective training is always seen as a road block, and then used as a scapegoat. Hard to see how things will improve in the current state.
