Pros

Great pay, great benefits. Many dedicated, good people work there...

Cons

You are worked like a dog. You may start out at $50,000, and your bonus may be around $3,000... But you typically average about $12.00 - $15.00 per hour given the amount of hours you work. Overnight logistics is perhaps the worst position you can have. It is very difficult to terminate low performers. Favoritism runs rampant. ETL's and team members are often friends outside of work - there is no leadership separation. Depending on the area, you may have some pretty bottom-of-the-barrel people working for you/with you. In high risk areas, a lot of gang-bangers are employed. If you don't mind baby-sitting 35 year old "men" who live with mom, this is not the place for you. Management is detached at STL level. High levels of passive aggressiveness... You won't know how well/poor you are doing until the end of the year. I thought I was doing horrible, only heard of my mistakes, and supervisors gossip about you behind your back, yet, scored very high on annual performance review -- Which led me to leave the company. Communication is sub-par.

Pros

Peers and supervisors help develop your leadership abilities. A great place to seek employment if you are just starting out or just starting over. Previous warehousing experience is not necessary, if you have the capacity to lead and are capable of giving and receiving feedback, you can do well.

Cons

There is a glass ceiling for promotion to senior group leader. About every one to two years a senior group leader moves on, and 32 group leaders are jockeying for that one position. Also the senior team tends to drag their feet when someone shows interest outside of the distribution center.

Miserable place to work

Pros

Flexible hours, willing to work around school schedule.

Cons

-Management does not care about employees. They cut back hours in order for management to take home large bonuses, but only give employees a 2 cent raise. -There is no way to distinguish your hardwork from the herd since everything is streamlined and management does not know what is going on in the store 75% of the time.
