Pros

A lot of PTO, that's it

Cons

Outsourced and laid off the majority of the commercial operations department. Majority of associates were considered interchangeable with whatever the lowest cost replacement was, (outsourcing to India/Genpact) no matter how much experience they had. Too full of extreme hubris to put any value on associates with many years of experience. Employees just considered lever pullers, copy and pasters, etc. There is zero effort given to career development or skill enhancement unless you force the issue yourself by applying for, interviewing for etc lateral moves and then hoping there might be an opening at a higher level you can apply for after waiting years . It was policy that you are responsible for your own career path 100% - so what is the point of staying there if you can advance by leaving? There is no pension, and those that had a legacy pension had it taken away. Salaries are low. Upper-mid level leadership is a slave to any cost cutting cliche buzzword nonsense that gets thrown their way from redisigning the work spaces to resemble an awful tightly packed call center (while pumping in white noise 24/7, imagine being in an airplane all day everyday), to forcing return to office by badge swipe monitoring. The employees have no input whatsoever, if you don't put on your fake smile and pretend you love everything you will not find yourself enjoying your tenure here.

Lay off

Pros

Good pay for short time Fair time off

Cons

Will lay you off instead of paying you better wages. I was laid off after company hired 6 new support personnel. The company would not give any info as to why. I had no negative remarks in my time at company. Only reasonable thing is they didn’t want to pay my worth. This happened to multiple people on multiple positions

Pros

Decent PTO days and benefits

Cons

Stay away from North America Quality (Distribution and Warehousing). Horrible leadership, lost in their own world, very toxic and incompetent people starting from person overseeing Distribution Centers. The worst thing is that they think they are good leaders, which is very laughable to me. Distribution Centers are very disconnected from corporate policies. Favoritism is massive, pay is mediocre, lack of advancements, mentorship, etc. It is a total waste of time!
