Pros

There are none for this company that I know off

Cons

- Leaving on time is frowned upon, the boss likes everyone to do unpaid overtime everyday. The tasks during overtime are not urgent and are minor tasks. If you leave on time (the contacted hours) you will be judged, work life balance does not exist here. - If you are an assistant, you will mostly to picking orders and doing online returns everyday. This was not part of the job description. - Micromanagement is a big thing here.

Pros

Get paid in time. Close to railway.

Cons

Bad management, most part of work on the floor on your knees, expected overtime everyday - unpaid. They contract you under one company name, but communicate and pay under another name (JEL Direct / Double Second)

Pros

If it's your first job/internship it might be worth the experience as you help with a bit of everything so you get a lot of lines on your cv. If you're experienced and looking to grow your career this is not the place.

Cons

- undervalued salary - lots of unpaid late nights - high expectation with no thanks or compensation - having to pick up other people's jobs when it's not yours - everyone has to help with shipment fulfilments - very disorganised - some yelling - will message you after hours/weekends - mondays have to come in early
