          Pros

          The pay is decent I guess? Some managers are nice.

          Cons

          There is a similar review on here saying if you only like going to work and don’t have family, friends, a romantic partner, hobbies, a life, then this job is for you. Which is 100% true. I would strongly suggest looking for employment elsewhere. Sure it pays fine, but it’s not even close to worth it. It is extremely monotonous hard work. You’re forced to work Saturdays, and maybe that’s fine for some people, but the work life balance is nonexistent. The job itself makes you feel like a robot mindlessly doing a repetitive laborious task for hours. No earbuds are allowed which i can understand kinda given it’s a warehouse with moving vehicles, but does it make things miserably boring. Coworkers are standoffish and you will wish you never applied to Green Bay. If anyone reads this, do not apply, don’t go to that interview you have scheduled, just look for employment elsewhere. Trust me.

              Pros

              The starting pay is enticing. A lot of the other factory floor workers are great and make the place tolerable.

              Cons

              Management is god awful. Nepotism is rampant. No real opportunity for advancement in the company. No sick days. Pays your vacation time to you and when you use it, you're unpaid having already been paid. Vacation doesn't roll over. Don't use it that year, it's gone. The mandated overtime. As of the past nine months, we've been working 32hr weeks or less because they're struggling to find customers. Not knowing until 10pm Friday night if you'll have to work the next day. Benefits are garbage. High copays and deductible. No matching 401k. New employees aren't given enough time to train before being pressured into signing off that they're ready. Favoritism . I could go on... Just don't do it. Not worth it.

                      VP of Sales/director of Business Development

                      During the first screening interview I have been asked at times about my job search status and if I am talking to others. While this is probably a question they have no right to ask, I wonder if there is a right or wrong answer. If I say I am interviewing with 2-3 companies, they may feel it is not worth the extra effort to continue the discussion. If I say I am not actively interviewing, it may be a negative sign. Any idea about where they are coming from? (WFH & free agent for a while)

                      Hello! I have two interviews, one tomorrow & another one on Friday. I'm preparing cause I feel that I'm not very good at them & I hate that. So, I'm researching, taking notes & praying a whole lot lol! Is it okay to refer to notes during an interview? Should I ask interviewer if it's okay? I wanna do my best & feel it'll help some ... a little more confidence I guess!
