Vantaggi

Pay is good for the area. Benefits are great and start on day one of employment. 401k with automatic 3% match regardless if you contribute. Profit sharing plan with a max 12% per year depending on company performance. 18 paid days off within your first year of employment + paid holidays.

Svantaggi

Hours are harsh - 50+ hour weeks M-F are the reg + Saturdays for IB. Corporate out of Chicago dictates everything right up to clothing. Supervisors and up have to wear business casual+, Maintenance personnel have to wear long sleeve uniforms all in non-climate controlled distribution center in the Texas summer that can go above 100 degrees. Extreme demands for quality but zero hours are allotted for quality training and they wonder why there are so many errors and inventory issues. 1 out of 3 PMs are excellent. It just feels like a giant corporate entity that has no care for the individual. Texas DC is too small and understaffed for volume. There are two buildings and it is a nightmare working between the two - it feels like two different companies.

Vantaggi

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Svantaggi

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
