Pros

Great medical benefits with Blue-cross. Promotion opportunities. New hire bonuses (If applicable when applying). Met a lot of great people and a few very good friends there. The culture can sometimes be lively but can feel completely depressing. It really depends what building you’re in, what department you’re stationed at, and what kind of atmosphere your manager brings to the team.

Cons

“Time-off-task” (TOT) - basically getting micromanaged or potential write-ups if you’re not scanning something every 5 minutes. Overtime is mandatory and there have been WEEKS during peak or holiday season where you work on average between 55-60 hour work weeks. There are promotional opportunities but it takes a LOT of work just to get from a tier 1 to a tier 3. HR “prides” themselves in caring for associates mental health but honestly they couldn’t care less about your problems. They’re just there to make a check. And don’t expect HR to have any answers for your questions 75% of the time even though that pertains to their job .

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
