Pros

Lots of smart people. Very collaborative. I was given a high-value project for the summer internship which was very rewarding.

Cons

Hard to stand out (everyone is pretty smart). Some interns didn't have interesting projects (but not me!). A lot of pressure on the final presentation.

Pros

I personally like working with the associates and getting to know the very different cultures that they come from. The feeling of knowing that every piece of inventory you touch will eventually make it to a customers front door step is rewarding.

Cons

Working many mandatory overtime days due to poor planning by upper management gets to be a real strain leading up to another peak season.

Pros

Business Model Ability to learn new techniques Good professional start for technical and warehousing experience

Cons

Poor leadership model; unbelievably bad managers at all levels Back-stabbing, unprofessional work environment...spent my time watching my back! No teamwork or espirit Immaturity at all professional levels Disgruntled, angry work force; ripe environment for a UNION Managers possess minimal people skills Senior management's view and perspective on the hourly work force; I was ashamed of the manner in which they were treated, I was definitely a minority in how they were perceived Absolutely no work life balance; don't be dissuaded by the money! If family is important, this is not for you! Feedback, balanced or otherwise is non-existent.
