Terrible place to work, but good pay.

Warehouse operator

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is very good. Overtime is always there if you like it. The benefits are very good.

Cons

Poor hours and constant forced over time with short notice. No recognition and very poor and unreasonable management, which creates a very negative environment. Very little room for advancement. Strict and senseless safety rules and unreasonable productivity systems that are designed to 'weed' out employees. Very little training, and have to figure out most stuff on your own. Favoritism and workplace politics poison the environment further. Experience and loyalty mean nothing and they will get rid of you in a heartbeat because of the high pay and enormous scale of applicants.

Pros

They have cool toys to work with.

Cons

However, they have many "educated" credentialed people, that have little practical experience. These people do not want to hear any objections to their grand plan. The plan is followed regardless of whether it is a good plan or not. Then when it comes time to actually pay vendors for what they want, senior management balks at the idea. Vendors should just give them stuff because it is 3M. This is a poor approach.
