Pros

Not bad pay and they give you paid time off. Not much but I think last time I work there they give you like 2-3 paid days off. I did have a cool manager named Brandon. He was really understanding and would stand up for me if anyone tried to get on me for taking too long in the bathroom cause my time off task or whatever they call it was like 5-10 mins and the reason it was even that long was because its hard to find a bathroom in the warehouse I worked in.

Cons

Barely any paid time off, you won't have much of a social life and your life will only be working for them and not getting time to hang out with friends, so not trying to be mean but if you don't have many friends and are fine working so hard that you pass out by the time you get food and eat and settle down then this job for you. If you do have a life with lots of friends and family. I'd suggest trying something else unless you are desperate for money. As they will boot you out if you get injured, lose your car. Anything bad that happens they don't care. You've become a burden and they just throw you out like garbage. Take it from someone they work so hard I pretty much messed my left arm up and they threw me out like garbage. The only reason I even did the job was because I was desperate for $$$$.

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.
