Pros
Pay was higher than similar jobs at other major retail establishments Coworkers outside of the backroom were generally friendly and easy to get along with Nice benefits package Did not have to join a gym while working there Flexible with the scheduling
Cons
Monotony of the job and physical issues, i.e. back and knee problems Reviews were not fair- the praise had to match the raise and the raises were always set low Psychologically abusive Backroom Team Lead that HR did nothing to remedy after repeated complaints by multiple team members. ETL positions are usually only given to young, attractive kids fresh from college. If you did not grow up wealthy enough to get your degree young, are middle-aged, unattractive, or are trying to move-up from a team member position without a degree, then don't even think about it. There was always a subtle sense of disrespect and disregard for the team members by the upper management and it was a real kill-joy.
