Pros

great 401k, good health benefits

Cons

-Management practices may benefit from periodic review to ensure they uphold respect and empathy, recognizing employees as individuals rather than mere task performers. -There appears to be a tendency for some managers to allow their authority and power to hinder their ability to build genuine connections with employees. -Employees may feel hesitant to voice concerns due to fears of backlash or potential risks to their job security. -The absence of a safe, approachable platform for employees to discuss workplace issues without fear of reprisal is a matter that warrants attention. -Management should be held to the same standards of accountability as associates, with no special treatment or exploitation of loopholes, as this can create opportunities for some managers to take advantage of their position.

Pros

If you work the right contract the holiday schedule is nice. Never ending supply of company branded temu quality merch as gratitude for a job well done.

Cons

Tend to make knee jerk reactions in management. Upper management support is performative. Endless half useful meetings that should be emails given they tout a great work life balance but bog you down in processes that change weekly. Merit increases are measly at best. Required 50 hr work week but it’s frequently 55-60. Vacation and sick time are taken in half day intervals so leaving an hour early results in a half day loss. No real system allowing breaks for lunch. I was told i could sit down for 15 mins at the end of lunch service to eat but that is seldom achievable. HR will throw you under the bus given the first opportunity and will not support you when dealing with problematic employees. Management turnover is extremely high.
