Pros

1. Most of my co-workers were friendly and I became friends with several people in my department 2. Scheduling was flexible - I could work around my classes and I never had an issue when I needed to take off due to illness

Cons

1. Hostile management - for example, as a new employee, I made minor mistakes due to limited training, so they punished me by moving me to an isolated station (hard drives) for several days, and I had to "earn" my way back into the department I was hired for (Config) 2. Gender segregated departments - certain departments like Config were exclusively male and others like Cleaning were mostly female 3. Poor safety standards - for example, when I worked in SysPrep, we had to use a dust blowing machine, but we were not provided earplugs, eye goggles, and dust masks (the machine is extremely loud and blows dust in your face) 4. Anti-labor - in the employee handbook it was stated that we could not discuss our wages with co-workers - this is illegal. Unsurprisingly I found out I was being paid $2 below the base rate of $12/hr for my positio 5. Numbers, not people - in Config, we were expected to hit a quota of 80 computers per day and they displayed hourly metrics on our laptops to compare your progress to others. They eventually moved this dashboard onto a large TV for everyone in the building to see. This quota was frankly unrealistic on most days and it encouraged many people to skip out on their two 10-minute breaks and hour-long lunches

Pros

Working in such a high energy, fast paced environment is exhilarating, but what truly sets this experience apart is the culture of the team. My colleagues are the primary reason I find my work so fulfilling. There is a shared commitment to collective success that defines everything we do.

Cons

While the collaborative energy among the staff is high, there is a recurring challenge regarding leadership transparency. Occasionally this makes it hard to prioritize.

Pros

There are some genuinely hardworking and skilled people on the eCommerce sales team who care about their work and each other. The peer-level collaboration is the best part of the job, and most team members do everything they can to deliver results despite constant change.

Cons

Ownership operates in a reactive, inconsistent way that makes sustained progress nearly impossible. Direction changes frequently, priorities reset without explanation, and standards are applied unevenly. Teams are asked to execute against shifting targets with little context or stability. Abrupt terminations are common and poorly communicated, which creates anxiety and discourages ownership or long-term thinking. Decision-making favors short-term reactions over disciplined planning, and internal politics often override sound judgment. Transparency is limited, feedback loops are weak, and managers default to control rather than building trust and clarity. The result is unnecessary turnover, low morale, and a constant sense of uncertainty that undermines otherwise capable teams.
