- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good coworkers, they care about their clients, good benefits, always looking for ways to improve
Cons
Pay for associates is not competitive so they look elsewhere
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
They have overtime to make up for the fact that they don't give raises to warehouse associates BUT overtime doesn't always happen. The cafeteria has amazing food sometimes. I'm not really sure if the cafeteria is open still because of the pandemic.
Cons
They don't give raises. Some of my coworkers were super annoying and bossy. You are lucky if you aren't working near anybody and all by yourself. Honestly, this company isn't great. I'd only recommend it to somebody who can't find anything else but really YOU CAN, 10000% find a better warehouse. There are sooo many other warehouse hiring. They literally train you for all the jobs at this warehouse only to still be making the same amount... It's literally insane. I was glad I left. Such a relief lifted off my shoulders.

Pros
Decent clothes discount at 60% off
Cons
It was absolutely cruel how they cut hours during the pandemic, especially after the holidays. We were expected to do twice the work in half the time and much less staff. When there are so many employees that are already working at minimum wage this was just heartless. They also don't promote fairly, at all. They don't promote because you earn it, but because you ask for it and then fight for it. Don't expect yearly raises. Some go 3 years without a raise, unless they go to a higher position. This is the same for sales associates or management.
