Pros

Friendly associates, Excellent benefits and a Green Company

Cons

No exception policies for warehouse workers are used for internal office staff. Management has lost its connection with staff and are less concerned with a happy staff then they are making numbers and bonuses.

Utterly humiliating, racist, concentration-camp type of work atmosphere.

Pros

You get to engage in training at local function halls and outside programs that offer additional enhancement to your skills sets.

Cons

It can be very difficult to work here if you are not the type who is infatuated by attention, if you are not the type who likes to gossip and socialize, and if you are not a grunge type mentality. Perhaps the most difficult part to face with this Company is it's lack of human decency treating others with respect: Expect to be micromanaged to eat lunch at your cube when need be and to restrain yourself from using the rest room unless management gives you permission and frees you from possible reprimand and being written up on your performance reviews.
