Pros

The workload may be high but the work itself is very simple Very nice on-site amenities - 24 hour gym, free coffee, meals are sometimes provided on busy days

Cons

Oftentimes a stressful and high volume work environment (Tuesday-Thursday) The work stations/tasks are mind numbing and repetitive. Employees should expect to stay late at least twice weekly due to unreliable machinery or a high work volume. If you've ever done a group project in high school or college where one or two people in a group end up doing 80% of the work you'll know what to expect from the work culture in the distribution department. A failure of management is allowing half of the department to camp the easiest stations indefinitely. Despite what you're told during on-boarding the opportunities for advancement are few. Historically, an extremely small number of employees that started in distribution have advanced out of it. This is partially because, inter-departmentally, the distribution team is seen as incompetent and full of low caliber employees. Department is perpetually under scrutiny for poor performance.

We are glad you appreciated the generous assortment of worksite amenities we provide. It’s all part of our efforts to nurture a caring and healthy environment (best place to work!) for all of our employees. However, we regret that you didn’t avail yourself of the opportunity to bring your concerns to your management team and/or your HR Business Partner. We encourage employees to do so – again, part of that caring environment we foster. That is how management learns what is going well, and what needs improvement. For example, in response to things we’ve learned about our Distribution Center, we have recently made many improvements you would appreciate. All team members are now being cross-trained so that they are able to complete the full variety of tasks in the department. Each coordinator now enjoys his or her own dedicated workstation. Machines are being serviced more frequently than before. And many more improvements as well. We do thank you for your feedback. As you can see, input like this is most helpful in assuring we maintain a top-notch operation. We appreciate all the work you do and hope that you are seeing the improvements. Always feel free to communicate any further issues with your management team and/or your HR Business Partner.

While we need to keep an eye on KPIs and other relevant metrics as we grow, we value our employees and provide them tools to grow and prosper in their careers. We regret that you were given the impression otherwise, and we are sharing your concern with HR and sales management.
