Pros

Free snacks. Subsidized lunches. Standing desks. Half-way decent pay. So-so benefits if you’re lucky enough to make it past your 60-day review. Some friendly coworkers.

Cons

Management is bad. They will set you up for failure on day 1. Theres no actual training. They expect you to figure things out on your own. Toxic company culture. Employees are treated like replaceable assets not human beings. Little room for advancement. Management plays favorites. Only people with certain DiSC profiles move up the chain. Given tasks with very little instruction. Expected to read your supervisors mind. Do it exactly how they want it or they will be very upset.

We're sorry to hear that this is how you felt during your time with our company. Employees who work in our Logistics Department receive training with our Customer Solutions team during their first week. Thereafter, each team in Logistics has a specific training schedule and trainer for the remainder of his or her 60-day probation period. Our goal is to provide ongoing feedback and coaching to employees, which is done through our QA team, along with management. Your feedback has been passed along to upper management.

Pros

There's always a technical challenge that I can contribute to solving. Transparency is a pretty big thing here. You're never curious as to how business is doing as there are TV screens that display sales data in a dashboard format that are updated in near real-time. Compensation is very much competitive in the Tampa market (I verified this for myself using Glassdoor's salary tool). Especially if you take into account the annual performance bonus. Benefits are pretty good, and they actually get cheaper after a you've worked here a year (about a 20% reduction in health premiums for me). The 401K match and profit sharing plan actually contribute significantly to your 401K balance. Almost every week lunch is provided, sometimes breakfast too, and every once in awhile one of our customers will send us treats. A well stocked break room (soda fountain, coffee, tea, ramen, pop-tarts, etc.) is very much appreciated. The game room is awesome, with its crown jewel being the Mario Kart arcade machine (sorry Lititz, but it is a lot of fun). There is also a Foosball table, dart board, and a Wii. A fitness center is planned which will be a great addition (they are still building out the Tampa office). The standing desks are awesome. Super casual dress code is appreciated.

Cons

Having meetings that include employees in the Tampa and Lititz offices is sometimes difficult due to technological constraints. I'm not a big fan of the open office floor plan. The 401K vesting schedule is a bit aggressive. No sick leave.

Thank you for your review! Flexible Spending Accounts is something that we are reviewing as an additional employee benefit, so your recommendation will be passed along. We will also continue to discuss the communication tools that our locations use.
