Pros

Benefits 401k Opportunity to develop Telecommute policy Flexibility in hours

Cons

A lot of leadership talks a lot about the culture, without actually embodying it. C-Suite has a great vision, but the further down the chain, and the further away from HQ, you get the more you see the cracks forming. Nepotism and Favoritism - A lot of folks are promoted/hired based on current performance rather than suitability for the role. A good Order Manager or Warehouse Associate isn't automatically a good supervisor or manager. Slow to remove bad apples - There's a lot of talk about coaching and "finding the right seat on the bus", but when it really comes down to coaching "out" or removing people from a bad fit position, it's a slow and painful process that actually causes harm. Compensation - Salary is way below average, and uneven. The person sat next to you doing the exact same job could be earning 10-20k more just because they asked for it in their interview process and you didn't.

Thanks for your candid feedback. We take coaching very seriously and we try our best to be rigorous (not ruthless) when removing an employee from a "bad fit position". We want to make sure we're being as fair as we can be to the individual without causing a strain on the rest of the team. Thank you again and I'm available to discuss this with you further if you'd like.

Pros

My manager was very supportive she would give great feedback and try to help me grow . The people were awesome. My coworkers were great and supportive.

Cons

For all the projects we had regional managers there was one that had it out for me. This person was relentless and I went to my manager. The problem I had with this person was they never stop coming after me and my manager tried to stop this person in their tracks, but they tried a way to come after me. My manager’s manager was kind of not a good manager because he was all about the numbers and he didn’t care about the person. He never once had a one-to-one conversation with me I noticed that he played favorites with people and it’s just not good to do that. I believe that as a senior manager, you have to get to know your team instead of hearing what other people say. There was a senior project manager out there who essentially threw me under the bus. When people would resign, all of the projects that were left behind by the previous person they would dump it on one person. It is a lot of work to dump on a person. Some managers would help you grow and there are others that will do the work behind your back on a project. There was one who would start adjusting my project numbers and get mad at me. Mind you this was my first year and this manager would throw me under the bus. “Great Workplace?” Please
