Pros

Pay, healthcare, they did offer quarterly bonuses for great or superior department performance, mostly good co-workers, most metrics can be easy to meet

Cons

They expect near perfection within the large amount of product you're handling, specifically in product count and putaway. If you have a handful of errors (often found with potentially erroneous audits, issues with multiple putaways, SAP/tech issues that were difficult to explain to higher-ups lacking IT knowledge to defend against errors from physical counts), this could become a downward spiral in employment and could drastically affect any great or superior offsets in reviews. Turnover was pretty high, and leadership changes were frequent.

Pros

Great benefits and PTO allotment

Cons

Buried in resources/ no time to use them/ too many to be effective everyone is being asked to do that cannot possibly be fit in a day or week or month They blame you when you struggle they blame you when you ask for help They say it is your fault if you burnout but don't give you the time to use the resources, they throw more resources at you instead of changing the workflow every person i know and at all levels is struggling when COVID hit they stopped caring about people and only focused on profit
