Pros
I have been at STORD for a few weeks now and it has gone great. The onboarding process is very organized, I received action items to complete and a laptop before my first day. In warehousing, this is usually never the case. I have been in warehousing for more than 10 years and I have yet to see this. The company is very tech driven with a people first culture that you can see as you are going through onboarding and beyond. Everyone has been very helpful and has made the transition very smooth.
Cons
At this time this is a fairly new company and everything is pretty much being built from the ground up (at least on the warehousing side of the business). For some this might not be ideal since there is no real structure, and we are the ones building it. For me this is actually a great thing because it's a chance to build new processes, build the culture you want to see, build your team, and make this business what so many other large logistics companies claim to be but never truly are since it's not built into their culture. In these companies, people are dispensable, are just a number, and are told to their faces that they are valuable and are what make the company, but behind closed doors they are just another body that can be replaced easily by anyone off the street. So if you enjoy a structured environment where everything is laid out for you, then this might not be for you at the time. But if you are the type to build that structure and lay out the foundation, then this is definitely the place to be.
