Not the worst, not the best

Pros

Overall, roles across the company are well compensated, and those who are bonus eligible receive an annual lump sum - it's based on company performance, not tied to individual performance. So, if the company does well but your manager thinks you didn't, you still get your bonus.

Cons

Healthcare options are poor, and costly - but this isn't unusual for corporations today. 401K match is OK, not great. Management can't handle the concept of flex time or remote working. Career planning is pretty non-existent, and the bi-annual round of layoffs means you're always looking over your shoulder. Progress is slow, slow, slow. Lovely people across the organization - a lot of "lifers" who have never worked anywhere else, or been there for a decade or more, but in the same role, same level.

Pros

I thought when I first hired it was a good company to work for...about then after a week started having my doubts when my third shift supervisor was pushing me to get certified for de-loc put away...then realized why...so I could be forced to work overtime even when there was nothing to put away..so if you decide to take a job there be prepared to work 60 hours a week..and work from 10 at night until 10:30 in the morning...it isn't worth the pay...

Cons

The people there have shity attitudes...and think that they own a fork truck...so if your a new hire be prepared to get kicked off one or you will get a attitude from him or her....and try to mind your own business....no one there is your friend...SO don't share any thing personal....also you will be rushed to be certified on either unloading or checking or sequencing....don't be preserved into it...they can't force you to...because once your certified on a job there be prepared to work twelve hour days weather you want to or not....also management does not care if you have can't or if you don't want to or not..and be prepared to be on third shift for 3 to 5 years... seniority is everything there...so think twice about working there and ask questions about being forced to work overtime even if you can't....so be careful management has a answer for everything...
