Pros

As seasonal you can get voluntary time off (VTO) where you dont have to come in or can leave early Some decent discounts (permanent only) Flexible on schedule for school Possible for advancement within the company

Cons

Managers can be sticklers about you meeting scan rates Temp inside is controlled in Seattle If you're seasonal you can only miss 3 shifts (VTO doesn't count) You have to work Someone said there isn't a number to call in an emergency there is (wasn't initially be given out in training but you can ask HR) You arent supposed to have your phone on you (Just don't be on it on the floor and they dont care if it's on your pocket Your shift is 4 hours it can (and does a lot) flex up or down up to an hour Understaffed in roles Can have to pick up a lot of big boxes 10 min breaks with (2 1/2 mins to get there and back)

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
