Pros

There's a lot of work and overtime during peak seasons. Some supervisors worked well with employees who got the jobs done. All the operation employees are really friendly and work well together.

Cons

No advancement, extremely poor temp turn over rate. No follow through for months long promised incentives. 12 hour days, 6 days a week nonstop. Due to this, many employees took days off thus creating a heavier workload on the remaining people who showed up. Little to no communication from the bottom to the top in management. Pretty crazy requests for certain orders that are a complete mess, with supervisors pressuring you hard to complete it before the deadlines.

Pros

somewhat decent hourly pay for people in lower leadership and not close enough to be decent but manageble hourly pay for associates. Overtime if you like that

Cons

- never see you families/partners again - company over camaraderie -mental and physical health are not prioritised and not important over the customer/client contract -Management treats you like a number instead of a human being - not allowed to speak out against inhumane conditions or mistreatment - corporate HR has been compromised and doesnt care about your well being - Exempt employees (salary paid) are REQUIRED to work overtime without any compensation. (working 30+ hours outside of regular 40 hours) -Administrative office personnel and in-house HR (P&O) treat warehouse employees like lower class uneducated subhumans or worse than dirt. - Consequences if you report Administrative personnel, management, or leadership for sexual harassment or assault
