Pros

Business Model Ability to learn new techniques Good professional start for technical and warehousing experience

Cons

Poor leadership model; unbelievably bad managers at all levels Back-stabbing, unprofessional work environment...spent my time watching my back! No teamwork or espirit Immaturity at all professional levels Disgruntled, angry work force; ripe environment for a UNION Managers possess minimal people skills Senior management's view and perspective on the hourly work force; I was ashamed of the manner in which they were treated, I was definitely a minority in how they were perceived Absolutely no work life balance; don't be dissuaded by the money! If family is important, this is not for you! Feedback, balanced or otherwise is non-existent.

Pros

The company is certainly doing well from a business perspective...but that is on the backs of their employees. Benefits are OK, but there are plenty of other companies that provide better.

Cons

VP and higher are getting incredible packages with options but the rest of the folks only get RSU's. Sebastian Gunningham received 350,000 options and I can't see why he should receive that higher number based on his overall performance.
