Pros

The culture is an absolute cut above anything else. You feel like you're part of a family group, instead of an employee.

Cannot fault anything about this workplace

Pros

Some warehouse staff are very nice

Cons

Management are genuinely awful people, office bullies are gleefully gang up on anyone they see beneath them. Managers also play favourites constantly, if you aren't in their clique they'll give you the hardest assignments with no help while giving resources to their friends. Once they're target leaves, you might be next to their relentless bullying. Career opportunities don't exist if you don't have the right "look"
