Pros

Other agents you works with are great and try to help.

Cons

Worked for them for 2 years and honestly the last year they make it seem like they care about their employees but they don’t. All the supervisors show do much favoritism it is sickening. They favor the agents that will not question anything and do everything they say. If you question anything they say you’re being difficult even if it is so you understand the processes more. If you don’t kiss up to them and be fake you’ll never make it here. There are employees who bust their butts and go over n beyond for this job but because they have a back bone for themselves, they are treated like second class. If you have an issue you should be able to go to a supervisor or HR but you can’t because then they go run back to whoever you talked to them about and tell them everything. Then you’re treated like badly Till you are basically forced to quit.

Pros

There are not too many.

Cons

Long hours; indefinite out times; no flexibility; poor communication; lack of respect for warehouse worker is built into the culture; toxic environment with petty politics and high school type drama; rules applied based on convenience and like ability and not job performance; office management is out of touch with the warehouse environment and work processes, this means implanted solutions are usually underwhelming and off track; continued feedback is requested and given but those issues are ignored over and over. Responses are band aids at best and flagrant disregard is more likely. No planning for busy season- WHERE IS THE BENCHMARKING?!; understaffed, under resourced, and over managed (with about 3 more layers of middle management than is needed). The environment is dirty, not temp controlled, warehouse staff is expected to housekeep in addition to the actual job. This job is incentive based and NOTHING is valued but faster- until you make a mistake and then you’re reminded about safety and quality.
