Pros

Benefits Most Weekends Off Some really good but over-looked people.

Cons

Everything else, management places value in the wrong people and promotes those that do not deserve it. Warehouse hourly pay, raises, and bonuses are lousy, management and sales rake it in. Management makes rash decisions, inconsiderately moves personnel while the employee has no choice in the matter. Warehouse associates are constantly physically pushed to their limits, and constantly being scrutinized, it is never good enough. They don't say it, but they essentially want you to run all day, in a non climate controlled warehouse. Some are forced to work overtime, while others get away with leaving on time. Its ok for some to be lazy and not work, while it is not ok for others to take a break. It seems like the bigger the salary, the less you have to work. Under staffed. Constantly feel threatened about losing your job, or being laid off. Lack of opportunities for those that truly deserve it. Yearly reviews are a waste of time and worthless, employees should be able to submit reviews of their supervisors. Trainees start in making more that warehouse associates that have been there for years.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
