Pros

Fun place to work. Surrounded by smart people who are creative and not robotic. Employees take pride in their work and the improvements in the company month to month are evident. Within Supply Chain, the team has grown significantly and is a major driver in the business. There is a lot of opportunity for personal growth. Work-life balance isn't as bad as similar companies, but there is still an expectation to hustle when it's time to hustle. It's close to several options for lunch and a lot of people get along.

Cons

Leadership does a poor job of publicly recognizing employees who go above and beyond. Peers rarely have much insight into each others wins. The organizational meetings are infrequent which causes things to feel disaggregated. Most of the leadership has joined in 2024 which is a blessing and a curse. Individual contributors have become very used to large amounts of constructive/negative feedback and very little positive feedback.
