Pros

The Distribution Center is a very clean, organized facility compared to others I have seen. There is a lot of care given to the inventory of equipment and gear. Training time and process is adequate. Great emphasis is placed on workplace safety and equipment safety. The amenities are amazing. I love the gym. The food is great! Haven't used the salon yet but might in the future. Still nice to have just in case its needed. So far, I LOVE everything about my job. I have even told some of my friends to apply since the campus is expanding soon.

Cons

Work level is completely dependent on the retail market. Some days are slower, some days are extremely busy. I usually get 40 hours but I wouldn't mind having more.

We get that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but Fort Wayne is being acknowledged over and over again in multiple on line ratings reports as a city that is growing, plugged into the future, provides the best opportunity to own a home or start a career, raise families, enjoy great schools and safe neighborhoods--- the list goes on and on. Check it out on our Careers page or do your own research and we think you'll find that there's a lot of very positive things happening here in Fort Wayne. Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources
