Pros

There are very few, if any.

Cons

Nonexistent opportunities for advancement for warehouse employees, despite claims otherwise. Requirements for “entry level” positions are unreasonable, contradictory, and based more on nepotism than anything. Management will make promises they have no intention of keeping (for example, claiming to train you in a different department). Also, jobs no longer go up for bid. They are instead given immediately to new hires.

Pros

Employee discount and some of the amenities are cool.

Cons

Low pay and no chance for advancement. Internal job openings are constantly posted, but you have no chance of getting a promotion unless management likes you.
