Pros
*These may not be pros to some but others will like it. -Hire anyone with a bachelors for supervisory level in spite of skills and lack of experience -Hires college graduates with good pay and no experience and puts them in charge of good people and gives them power to terminate for any reason -Distribution center pays well -Gives extra perks (discounts with Dell, Tmobile, At&t, movie theaters etc) -Target discount -401k & pension -3 year top out on pay
Cons
-hires inexperienced staff in supervisory roles who fire for no reason or write people up just to cut costs of long term employees with high pay. -forces supervisors to find reasons to fire good staff -terminates with no reason and makes up stupid reasons to justify it. -would rather waste thousands of dollars to transfer people in from other DC's to complete work assignments because they have fired everyone. -Corruption -Favoritism -Rules apply to some very inconsistent -no room for change or ideas. -Can not move up in this company and if you try to transfer they will fire you or write you up preventing this in the specific DC I worked for. They then mess up your transfers if you happen to get through and nearly get you fired. -do as I say not as I do attitude with management -gls' can destroy property and be told by corporate to fix it but you will be fired for "vandalism" if you put a label on a forklift that someone else misprinted yet others are allowed to paint lines and designs on them with no penalties. -If fired they will tell prospective employers what they fired you for without explanation and even add things in they have no evidence or proof you did. 99% of the time the person didn't do it to begin with. It is made up. -Not able to retire with this company -Employee appeal process for terminations is FIXED and very biased. -Told to violate rules and Osha regulations in order to get the numbers met to make the GL look good. If injured they say you are fired and you were "unaware of surroundings". -Will ruin someone's life over personal issues or just a GL having a bad day. -Expensive health care benefits at this time, with poor coverage and high deductibles. Most medications are not covered. For instance you pay $80/WEEK for a family, have a $6000 deductible that must be broken up by 3 different people, will not cover autism, and most medications you may save only $5 opposed to full priced. Dental is not good either. You have to pay full price to go to the doctors office (for instance $150 for a new visit and you must pay whole thing). Extra charges for smokers but not for obese. Will not cover any weight loss assistance either. -if you have a handicapped family member, they will use that against you on time off/ FMLA. -GL"s don't have any compassion, or any conscious or they would not do some of the things they do there. Oh an so much more. Just tired of typing.
