Pros

none at all, maybe the cheap/free food

Cons

As a packer, I had to carry heavy load things. The full timers take the small easy to handle orders and they drive forklifts and use vehicles. While the part timers will pick shelves by hand and literally bend over to grab boxes weighing over 80kg. And they complain that we don't hit KPI

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
