Pros

1. The company is strong from a financial standpoint. 2. The pay is good for the area. 3. Benefits are pretty good. 4. Bonus structure is nice.

Cons

1. HR is so behind the times. They run this like its the 1960's manufacturing industry. It's a huge turn off to the younger generations. Don't work here if you are looking for a progressive HR mentality. There is no PTO system. They do random drug tests in the office. The wellness program is just smoke and mirrors with no substance. They shoot down any idea that comes to them quickly. The theme is "We looked at that and it doesn't make sense for us." 2. The Private equity company makes all the decisions. It's just the nature of the ownership structure. It's something you have to live with. 3. If someone is upset at the company, the company will make everyone upset so as to not deal with problem. 4. Very old, run down and out dated office. It's down right depressing.

Pros

Great Pay, Great Benefits, you can move up fast just got to put your mind to it and take in and learn everything you can and work hard. They have a union you get the option to be apart of or not. Management is great! They listen and check in with you to make sure you have everything you need to do your job successfully and safely. You get trained for 6 plus weeks depending on department and all the trainers have years of experience and time at this workplace and they are patient and have great attitudes and are willing to explain and make sure you understand what is needed from you as an employee. Ask questions no question is a dumb question. Even if you’ve already asked. The want to make sure you understand everything. Very organized and clean warehouse. Plenty of working room.

Cons

Work long hours during busy season
