Pros

My pay check to start. I like the fact this is a growing company. I am very open to new ideas just as Amazon is. I feel that this company will far exceed any expectations most would give credit for.

Cons

Management is never on the same page. Employees don't know what standard to follow half the time. Or who to follow. The younger management teams are very rude. The older management teams say it how it is. A lot of favoritism among department heads. Also grudge holding. There is to much talking among the younger employees and not enough working. I see employees hiding in the stow mode. Huddled in talk groups instead of working. Employees always going to a area such as prep to hide. Making the regular department associates work harder.

Pros

Great brand recognition and smart employees. Good vacation, medical, dental, health benefits. Is dog friendly in most of the campus.

Cons

Poor management, non supportive, secretive. Retention problems, revolving door atmosphere. Extremely metrics driven. More, more, more recruiters is the "solution" for talent acquisition. So many that it becomes counter productive with candidate ownership issues and internal competition. No value given towards positive candidate experiences. Management tends to look for reasons to NOT hire. Too many obstacles in place towards making hires. No work/life balance. Tendency to down-level. Numbers-driven Agency mentality. Laughable "culture", crappy desks with no attention to ergonomics. Unethical leadership from top on down. Management kudos given to top brown-nosers. No shortage of Kool-aid for everyone!
