Pros

- pay was fine, Its good that It pays weekly - co-workers are supportive and are able to coodinate to cover shifts. - the bonus discount at staples for employees is good enough to buy your snack break snacks.

Cons

- everyday I got yelled at by customers who were very entiteled to get their orders done. - if a machine broke, it was immeditally our fault. - despite having to work with computers and printing theres no sitting on the job, stools were taken away 5 months into my employment leading to my worsening disability. - customers are never able to do anything by themselves even with instructions, expect to do everything for them or explain it step by step every day

Pros

None identified at this time - as I just need 5 words... NONE

Cons

The company is not organized at all. While leadership says employees need to be in the office, they themselves are comfortable working from home. The company recently changed its policy to require being in the office four days per week, making employees’ lives harder, while parts of the company continue working remotely. This policy was implemented within two months, with the expectation that employees adjust their lives just as quickly, yet the company does not provide adequate support—such as installing additional EV charging stations. Additionally, salaries are well below market rates, especially for data-related roles. Bonuses are effectively non-existent, as targets are consistently not met, so they should not be considered part of total compensation.
