Pros

Was able to take a month vacation paid even tho I was part time. PTO hours add up throughout the year and you can roll them over. Eye insurance for PT too!

Cons

Management has no experience and hides when support on the floor is needed. They brought back and promoted a manager who has a personal vendetta for everyone! We knew the people she didn’t like were gonna be out. I was being demonized for my religious views and convictions, this happened to multiple staff. Worked hard and spearheaded many projects within this company only to witness other “newbies” get promoted. Address my concerns to HR which also did not thing but only made it difficult for me to move up within. If you have any conservative or religious convictions, this is not the place for you, nothing is worth compromising your views. Use your gifts and talents somewhere else! Trust me!

Pros

There are some great, inspiring, and passionate people who work there, but none of them are in leadership positions.

Cons

Leaders aren't held accountable for KPIs or poor behavior. Decisions are made by forum/committee/council, so there is no clear ownership or guidance. The Service Office/HQ leaders look down on the store and fulfillment center teams, making decisions based on assumptions rather than taking time to understand the reality on the ground.
