Pros

You get to use your vacation and health benefits as soon as you start. Decent pay for what you do. We have a fancy breakroom - the nicest one I've ever seen.

Cons

Very long hours if you work 2nd shift. They will say that the shcedule is 2-11:30pm for a warehouse lead, but it's more likely 12:30 or later before you will leave the building. Do not expect to see your friends and family during the week. You will also have to work most holidays and they will threaten you with insubordination if you protest having to cover another 12 hr shift on your off day. Asking for another day off to compensate is apparently unreasonable. They are slow to replace anyone you lose from your team. We run short 2 or 3 people most of the time because it takes 2 months to hire someone. They will blame this on the recruiter. They like to spend lots of money on week long kaizens.... Here's a novel idea, how about a kaizen to fix your slow hiring process. I have two bosses that don't see eye to eye and typically communicate poorly. That leaves their entire team stuck in the middle. I thought at first this was a great company, but they are just like all the rest.

Pros

-Remote (may be slowly moving away) - weekly pay - family-friendly/flexible. I didnt feel pressured to work if I had obligations and needed to take off - good managers

Cons

-team members can be passive agressive on calls/talking over each other or arguing in teams chats, and speak negatively about others on calls. -tech team off shore. Makes it harder to get answers or have to schedule meetings only in the mornings. -no set structure or ground rules on team processes. They change rules on process on the fly. No approvals from leadership -Retention policy is very short. Saving work in multiple places and no real source of truth. - Gaps found after development - Teams lack experienced leaders who genuinely want to help others. -Claim to run agile but doesnt follow it. -not much diversity -benefits through the contracting company were not affordable at all
