Pros
Decent salary and great experience with SAP, managing change, managing difficult associates and learning skills or processes outside of simply managing operations. Exposure included IT, HR, and data analytics.
Cons
Senior management does not relay goals and expectations from the executive level to middle management successfully. Too much inconsistency between the different regional managers and their facilities, and yet they try to treat each facility as if a process change to benefit efficiency will work just the same in other facilities who face different situations and have different resources. There are a lot of directions from regional managers that contradict the direction expressed in meetings run by the CEO in his leadership meetings. The work life balance is good from the stand point of getting your weekends, but do not plan on being able to make plans to do anything during the week unless you are on the inbound team. Outbound shifts do not have definite end times and run odd hybrid hours between first and second shift. The expectations of management to be on the floor picking, packing, checking, etc in order to avoid hiring the needed amount of hourly associates to run a facility are unreasonable. You are not allotted time to actually manage processes, people, and make improvements because of the amount of small tasks like this that they want you involved in.
