Pros

Great benefits, decent hourly pay, guaranteed hours and set schedules. Very clean facility with big break rooms including tv's, computers, free condiments, free silverware, plenty of microwaves and drinking water stations. Best of all, It's a paying job...

Cons

Politics, politics, POLITICS. Man oh man, how better to start than by getting on the subject of favoritism and special treatment? Hard work is rarely recognized/ appreciated. All that matters is numbers, not people. The only Tier 1 associates who get put into leadership roles and eventually get promoted to the next level are the submissive brown nosers who are, more often than not, the laziest. The prettier the female, the more special treatment given. The list goes on. Most new managers come in (with no warehouse experience) wanting to immediately take over the show which often results in worsening the already intense, physically and mentally exhausting work environment. The pay is decent, but not as much as what surrounding jobs with similar work load pay. All of shady things happen in the building.. The thirst shown by males is ridiculous. Equal opportunity? Nah.. Males are given the more labor intensive jobs always. HR is worthless for the most part. So many of them and they seem to prefer not to help. I can go on longer.. The cons outweigh the pros. It's a job and as long as it keeps paying me, I'll keep working.

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.
