Pros

Good people and good pay. CEO talks to all employees and seems to actually care. Employee discount and opportunities to make more money pulling longer hours in the busy season.

Cons

Very disorganized. Unequal distribution of work. Associate turn around is wayyy too high. Supposedly a B Corp trying to give opportunities to the underserved without any actual training in how to keep those opportunities. Aka you do one thing wrong or upset the wrong supervisor and you’re fired. Not enough help where it’s needed most in shipping & supplies because it’s harder work. Lack of training leads to dangerous situations.
