Pros

The salary is always paid on time without any delays. The warehouse itself is modern, clean, and well-equipped. The team of fellow warehouse workers is generally friendly and supportive, which makes the physical work a bit easier.

Cons

The work-life balance is poor because you are constantly asked to stay late after your shift. Management is very rigid and rarely makes concessions regarding personal schedules or requests. Furthermore, there is almost no room for promotion; even if you perform well as a Picker/Packer, you feel stuck in the same position indefinitely. Management loyalty toward employees is very low.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
