Pros

Profit sharing is the best part by far, but for the most part the managers are understanding about time off and personal issues and are flexible with days off.

Cons

Many associates are lazy, crabby and unintelligible in their department, but their lack of skill and good judgment is ignored by most of the managers. Others have to pick up slack from these employees, and are often held responsible when these tasks from another employee aren't done. Employees are always written up for even .01 hours of overtime. Communication between departments and management is horrible at best. Pay and benefits are poor until you've been with the company for at least 5 or so years.

Pros

The pay is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

This is the worst job I have ever had. I made it 3 weeks before leaving and never coming back. They had me working 12 hour shifts when I was scheduled for 8 but couldn’t leave because I wasn’t finished with the large workload they piled on me. There was absolutely no teamwork, our manager just abandoned us so they could go hang out with their friends. There was no organization, no structure. 100% sure my manager never even knew my name. They had us breaking down pallets just to restack them. There are no consequences for management at all, they can basically do whatever they want and nobody is gonna do anything to stop it. If they're short they throw you into different departments with no training.
