Pros

It's cool that you are working for a company that is changing the world but they do not take care of the employees.

Cons

Constantly understaffed, no holiday parties, tons of overtime, horrible regional managers.

Pros

Helps your resume, easy to get into because they always need help at delivery, especially during EOQ

Cons

-Delivery is not the place to be; extremely hierarchical environment, management does not care about you, they only care about themselves, leaving on time, and doing absolutely nothing while they’re at work besides bossing everyone else around and making decisions they have little to no knowledge about. -Have to deal with managers that don’t know anything about delivery, but act like they do, get paid 10-15 times more than you, and they get to work later and leave earlier than pother hard working people -not enough pay for the amount of responsibilities they throw towards you -health is effected/compromised because if it’s busy, they demand you to work, and don’t even ask if you’ve eaten or taken a break -they only care about numbers; employee health, safety, and comfortability comes second -if you have an idea that will solve a problem and help make the system more efficient, you have to go through management to implement it, and more than half of the time, they will either laugh at your face, or tell you “no that won’t work” or “I don’t like that idea” -forget spending time with your family and friends, you’ll barely have any time to take care of yourself
