Pros

Great opportunities for advancement. Very focus on developing people for roles of greater responsibility. Safe work environment. Leader in the industry with stable career outlook.

Cons

Very focused on Wall St. Perception and shareholder value while loosing sight of employee satisfaction. Cuts in profit sharing, hours for hourly team members and focus on "optimizing" staffing levels has made the work environment more stressful and less fun.

Pros

Pay is competitive for warehouse work. Overtime was plentiful. Benefits are solid.

Cons

This is from a distribution center perspective. No respect for personal time, mandatory weekend overtime. You will come home sore every day. Night shift treated like second class citizens. Some supervisors are straight out of college and clueless when it comes to leading a team.
