Pros

It's a bit above minimum wage. If you're in inbound you have the opportunity to work by yourself. That's about it.

Cons

Oh there's a list. They push safety and teamwork during orientation, but in reality, it's a joke. They don't care. They preach quality not quantity but in reality it's actually the other way around. Huge revolving door. They play favoritism. They claim to call for team lifts if you have to strain your muscles to lift anything to avoid injuries, in reality they will have pregnant women, physically tiny people, or just people in general, most of which aren't taught proper safety procedures, lift and stack packages way heavier than the 50lb limit that we're supposed to get at these centers. For those of us who deal with stealing pallets of packages, they are stacked terribly causing a further danger to those walking past or unloading them at the post office. The pay you receive for the outputted work isn't worth it. Also... If you're assigned to a department that isn't favored by management, your hard work will be ignored, all the while they well be pausing those in their preferred functions. High revolving door for management as well. Managers don't know what they're doing and seem to mess up well working systems. We are told that our ideas well be heard, problems worked on to be fixed, and voices well not be ignored. So not the case..

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.
