Pros

Some of the people you work with are nice

Cons

Outdated technology, siloed upper management, and no movement on the career ladder. If you're not a well connected or rich older man, you won't be a manager and do well here. Pay is low for the field. Zero flexibility on remote work. When negative reviews started happening, we were vaguely threatened and told that the "Fort Wayne IT community is a small network, and they'd hate for people to find our about our attitudes" Middle managers have zero power and are forced to carry out horribly planned projects from the powers that be. One team was forced to work 70 to 80 hour no weekend weeks for almost a month. No overtime or days off after. Go work somewhere else.

Pros

Regular pay increases, Quarterly bonuses. A profit Sharing plan. Basic Health Benefits available but expensive for the upgraded plan. Some of the Managers are actually pretty decent people. They have a lot of Pizza parties etc.

Cons

Some of the managers are extremely unprofessional. The Company leadership in Fort Wayne are completely "detached" from the realities faced by the warehouse teams. Associates in the warehouse can be extremely cliquey, and backstabbing. Some associates are favored above others, by certain managers. Upward growth is very limited due to this. Many highly qualified associates with past management experience are intentionally overlooked in favor of sycophants.
