Pros

Catered food sometimes, great coworker’s

Cons

Don’t like to stay in competition and give raises even though neighboring warehouses pay more for safer and healthier work environments. Only give schedules out 3 months at a time so it makes it hard to plan vacation or appointments throughout the year. Dusty and dirty work environment. Management gives positions to who they want versus who earns it. (Favoritism) HR can be hard to get ahold of and when you do get ahold of them they don’t like to help your situation or don’t have any answers for you.

Pros

Willingness to spend money on training. Travel opportunities and good work/life balance. Co-workers are great.

Cons

Low yearly raises. Hard to get funding for projects. Little to no room for career growth. Will be consistently be told no when applying for other positions. Stuck doing extra work because the company takes far too long to fill open positions. Management is clueless and takes too long to make decisions. High turnover rate for salaried work force.
