Pros
Very stable and predictable pace with little or no extreme changes in direction. Excellent place for moms, dads, and people either early in their career or late in their career. The management team has hit on a formula that consistently returns double digit returns year over year(except recently) and has no reason to change. Great lessons to be learned about the fundamentals of business and what it means to manage a supply-chain. If you are in already in management you probably will not leave because of your options, your bonus, and your compensation get better the longer you stay.
Cons
Do not expect your career to grow or move quickly unless you are an insider, come in at a high level, or are a clear high performer. Also, beware that there is no HR department and this causes a lot of angst if you end up moving between groups. There is virtually no compensation analysis, standard reward process, or easily accessible work history (and to credit the management team there is no support in these areas). This makes for some very non-standard compensation practices between groups. Also the company believes that Logistics is best learned on the job so do not expect a lot of seminars, webinars, conferences, or certificate courses. Instead, you will be encouraged to learn more about the business.
