Great In Theory, Poor In Practicality

Warehouse order selector

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, coworkers and colleagues were friendly, flexible scheduling (as a part-timer).

Cons

Program wasn't worked out to train part-timer's appropriately to achieve performance standards within the probationary period. Also, company has a policy forbidding current employees from being professional references to current or former employees.

Skip the heartache, you do not want to work here

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-Op but even that you can get at bulk stores cheaper in many cases

Cons

Lack of urgency and engagement by management. Being proactive is a joke to them and there is nothing fair about working here. If you are in the "In Crowd" you will be rewarded for lack of knowledge and people skills, if you are not, well then you will never advance. So surprised this company has not been fined yet.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with and it was a steady pay check.

Cons

Employees are numbers. The people in management that care about the employees don't make the big decisions that affect them.
