Pros
I worked for Powell for a little over 8 years before I was laid -off. Things i liked about working there, was my co-workers. We all got along very well and we all went out to lunch every now and then. The work wasn't that bad, just boring same old stuff. On the management side I had a good manger, he wasn't a micro-manger, but a lot of them are. The Benefits were ok, as of last time i was there (it was awful the first 3 years when i worked there).
Cons
Let's be honest here, if you want to make good money don't work here. You could go to Walt-Mart and come out ahead. I had a friend work there (full time) while going to college, and still made $5 more an hour than me with a college degree. The entire time i worked at Powell i could never match his pay. Another downside is how unorganized everything is, and also they love do the blame game on who's fault it is. Last thing otherwise i could go on forever, no matter how loyal you are, this company will back stab you. I've seen it happen someone who been there 30+ years, it was a very sad moment. With all this said, i'm sure there are more worst companies than Powell, but these are my experiences. My goal here was to inform someone of what to expected if they decide to work here. Hopefully this helps.
