Pros

PTO is good for full time employees.

Cons

Etics are questinable. Managers speak like politician's. You are expected to know how the manager would handle an account, when management changes their mind daily. You must find a way to ship product regardless of the customers creditworthiness. Thus credit lines are increased for no reason other than to ship. Meanwhile management expects all accounts to be collected AT or BEFORE terms. Ship everything And have a percent current over 93%. Goals are unachievable, work load is beyond 40 hrs /week, but management does not allow overtime. At best Management is either clueless or simply inept. Income smoothing is a normal process. Management thrives on double talk and playing the hero to the GMs. They will tell you to delay shipping, knowing that Everything will ship at 5 and if sales calls they will ship the product. The lack of ability to hold a customer accountable has gone far that i have sales reps stating to hold a customer and we ship. You are a number. Corp does not care about the individual, we have a blizzard, 20 inches, and the company will not close. No holiday parties. No team events. Temps are training temps. Temps will not be hired full time for at least 12 months, I've seen longer.

Thanks for sharing your feedback - we're not exactly sure how customization is a con! It's always better to consider the needs of all of our stakeholders, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. While it appears you're no longer with the company, please know we wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

Cons

Starting pay is 10.25hr Management does not give you reviews often enough to get any raises Work load is greater than what you are paid for Management is almost non-existent and any needs the warehouse need tend to get pushed aside.
