Pros

Great new warehouse to work in, work is busy, warehouse folks great and easy to work with. Lots of perks, i.e free food, tshirts, benefits good, 401k, work is active and hands on in the warehouse.

Cons

Disconnect between Management, Supervisors and HR Reps. Each DC makes their own rules for certain things. Overtime is a big issue. So many rules and regulations and paperwork, if not done right, and it never is, then you get a point against you, or verbal warning.

Not for the ambitious

Pros

It’s hard to find another job that pays this much with no required degree and little skills. Tuition embursment. “MPower Points” you earn and redeem for gift cards.

Cons

There is NO opportunity for advancement unless you want to be a line lead (and hate your life) or if you’re a great butt kisser & want to be a supervisor. Management CLAIMS they value our work life balance, then proceeded to give us 1-2 hours of overtime every day for the month of December. The only worklife balance they care about is the INCOMPETENT IT manager. Since there are so many people, there are bound to be people that you won’t get along with, and at this location, there are some very lazy, entitled people. Will overwork GOOD workers to the point where they quit without finding another job. Does not address lazy workers. New company attendance policy almost makes you feel like they’re TRYING to get people to quit. Management keeps signing contracts that bring in more work, while we do not have the space nor the labor to handle it.
