Vantaggi

High pay, Benefits, bonus (up to 6 months of pay), yearly Christmas party, tuition reimbursement

Svantaggi

Absolutely no job security, constant big brother watching and demeaning feedback. Treated like a mindless robot I worked here for a little over a year. The work is thankless, backbreaking labor. I was laid off after a year along with 20% of their warehouse workforce. The company likes to "clean house" every 6 months to keep morale down and perceived productivity up, only to hire in a brand new group of trainees that have to be trained to do the exact same job and then laid off six months to a year later. They promise a huge retirement if you can make their 90 rule (years of service + age = 90) but they lay off every single person I met right before that, basically screwing them out of their retirement health insurance. Overall, horrible place to go. Unless you want a career in grunt menial labor, avoid this place like the plague. Having this company on your resume is a black mark down the road for your future careers.

Vantaggi

- Pay/benefits are incredibly generous - People are generally easy/nice to work with - Note that the Systems department seems to be fairly isolated from the negative issues discussed in other reviews (e.g. tension between warehouse workers and management) - I haven't experienced any of those issues within the systems department. In my opinion, Systems is a great place to work and develop as an engineer. - Hybrid work style (3 days in office). Personally, I like hybrid more than both fully in-office and fully remote styles. - Great cafeteria with good food and cheap prices. - Good work/life balance (outside of being on call, I can leave work at work).

Svantaggi

- Work is not super interesting to me. I come from a highly technical, but very different (not ecommerce/industrial supplies), background where I was doing work I was much more interested in. No doubt there are folks in Systems who love the domain though. - While I'm not on call a ton (1-2 weeks every few months), I really hate being on call. I like to leave work at work. Note that joining at least one reliability team is expected within your first year or so.
