The company only cares about making money, even at the expense of their warehouse employees' well-being.

Pros

Benefits they provide are good.

Cons

While they constantly throw parties and recognize the office employees, they couldn't care less about their blue collared employees in the warehouse. They only care about making money.

Pros

Benefits are actually pretty good. Salary seems reasonable, until you calculate it on an hourly scale. Coworkers mostly a great group. It's just the management that ruins everything.

Cons

Recent management is terrible. I started 9 years ago and was very happy until the last few years. I eventually quit to start my own business, mainly because the management had become so poor. Managers don't discuss anything with you. They don't want or appreciate any input from the people who are out there doing the actual work. Poor decisions are the result. Terrible work/life balance. Meager vacation. Always on call, 16 hours per day including weekends and holidays. New management strategy seems to be focused on replacing all the long time employees with new trainees. Employee morale is at an all time low and is getting worse by the day.
