Pros

Some fun coworkers. Opportunities for advancement... if you kiss butt.

Cons

Hard worker, doesn't matter. Good at your job, doesn't matter. Great with time management, doesn't matter. What does matter is staying late. That will get you promoted. If you could have all your work done by 4, don't do it. Stretch that out until 7 that way upper management sees your face there and thinks, "now that's a hard-worker right there." Boom your promoted. Also, extreme amounts of favoritism at that place. It's really quite astonishing. Sure, every workplace has it, but man, it's through the roof there. My advice for making it there, pucker up, set your family aside, stay late(even if you don't need to), hang out in your bosses office a lot, become a favorite. Straight to the top!

Pros

Great Pay, Great Benefits, you can move up fast just got to put your mind to it and take in and learn everything you can and work hard. They have a union you get the option to be apart of or not. Management is great! They listen and check in with you to make sure you have everything you need to do your job successfully and safely. You get trained for 6 plus weeks depending on department and all the trainers have years of experience and time at this workplace and they are patient and have great attitudes and are willing to explain and make sure you understand what is needed from you as an employee. Ask questions no question is a dumb question. Even if you’ve already asked. The want to make sure you understand everything. Very organized and clean warehouse. Plenty of working room.

Cons

Work long hours during busy season
