Pros

They are very flexible with scheduling, when I need a day off I am able to get it. The pay is pretty good. A lot of hours available to work.

Cons

It feels like those who are working very hard and doing their jobs and criticized more heavily by management than those who are just barely finishing their work. It's very frustrating to receive criticism for doing something in a way that the manager doesn't prefer, while another employee isn't doing the work at all and hasn't received any feedback. Positive feedback is EXTREMELY lacking. The internal inventory management system is complete junk. Training was poor. I learned what are apparently "key elements of the job" after I'd already been there for 4 months.

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
