Pros

Utterly fantastic work-life balance, great atmosphere, 2-story slide you can use everyday. Great pay, great culture, and great people too. Look no further than for a job here. Can get your hair done or dyed any color at all at Wavelengths Salon within Sweetwater. It's awesome!

Cons

Distribution Center work isn't paid as well as it probably could be for how hard on your body the work is.
