Pros

If you are a hard worker physically and have a very strong work ethic you will be moved to other positions relatively quickly to get you out of the package scan floor, but all positions you could be moved to require just as much work.

Cons

Back breaking work with recognition being rewarded with in-house reward currency that builds up slow. Shifts can extend by an hour or two without any warning, and the forecasts for shift length are rarely accurate.

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
