Pros
- Bottom barrel team members are usually chill - Sometimes get free food in the break room (have to first check if it's expired or has been sitting uncovered for more than a day) - Decent employee discount, insurance, and 401k match
Cons
- Commuter benefits are only as good as the area you live in (no subway/train/bus = no commuter benefits) - Everyone in team lead positions and above lack empathy and don't really treat subordinates like people - Guild program is misleading, only distribution center members and team leads and higher have reimbursement for their chosen school - Increasingly impossible metric goals, and only executive level employees get any bonuses from wage workers having good metrics - Many locations aren't actually LGBTQ+/minority friendly for employees, despite the annual ethics training - Lots of OSHA violations that don't get addressed until days/weeks later (blocked fire exits, excessive flatbeds and pallets on the sales floor, etc) - Not many opportunities for career growth, team leads and executive team leads are usually transfers from other locations - Not enough pay after Christmas, filing for unemployment and food stamps due to severe hour cuts is a must - Upper management will consider informal WAV "training" as WAV certification in place of actually being WAV certified - "Raises" are less than $0.50, can be as low as a single penny
