Pros

Benefits 401k Opportunity to develop Telecommute policy Flexibility in hours

Cons

A lot of leadership talks a lot about the culture, without actually embodying it. C-Suite has a great vision, but the further down the chain, and the further away from HQ, you get the more you see the cracks forming. Nepotism and Favoritism - A lot of folks are promoted/hired based on current performance rather than suitability for the role. A good Order Manager or Warehouse Associate isn't automatically a good supervisor or manager. Slow to remove bad apples - There's a lot of talk about coaching and "finding the right seat on the bus", but when it really comes down to coaching "out" or removing people from a bad fit position, it's a slow and painful process that actually causes harm. Compensation - Salary is way below average, and uneven. The person sat next to you doing the exact same job could be earning 10-20k more just because they asked for it in their interview process and you didn't.

Thanks for your candid feedback. We take coaching very seriously and we try our best to be rigorous (not ruthless) when removing an employee from a "bad fit position". We want to make sure we're being as fair as we can be to the individual without causing a strain on the rest of the team. Thank you again and I'm available to discuss this with you further if you'd like.
