Pros

Get to know people not in management, and you’ll meet some really cool dedicated people.

Cons

Don’t let the company fool you about the ESOP program. It COULD be a great thing, but they don’t promote it and they just dangle it over your head as some kind of favor. They find excuses to not invest in their employees, but waste money in just about every department.

Pros

The people here are fantastic. From the front office to the warehouse, you’ll find the best of the best. ESOP is nice, but like another review mentioned, the company could do more to promote it and get the employees to really believe in it. Hours are standard for each department. For the reviews complaining about hours, it’s probably because they couldn’t keep up and were the reason for long hours.

Cons

The ESOP. If you’re not going to get employees to understand and participate in it, then it’s a waste of time for anyone not in upper management. It’s just being used as a tax break loophole right now. Wish there had been more collaboration between different departments. There’s some smart people there that could bring insight to other departments.
