Pros

They offer a 401k and Medical. You can build your resume get some experience in logistics and sales before you move on to a better opportunity.

Cons

The management is disrespectful and they treat their employees like trash. A member of management ends his day drinking at the local pub with his laptop and sends drunken rants via email or text message and name calling is a common practice. A new manger was brought on recently with no industry knowledge and is completely incompetent. You will receive little or no training and The company sets high expectations. Commission Is not paid until you meet a threshold that is higher than your base salary for 6 consecutive weeks and this is a rather daunting task so don't get sold on delusions of grandeur and false promises of high pay. The vast majority of the employees are recent college graduates who will be sucked in by false promises of high salaries and drinking with the sales team on Fridays. It sounds fun at first but this not a place you will want to stay long term. The owner will send out company wide emails demoralizing employees. Don't take this job unless you have no other option.

Pros

The office is in a good area of the city and building amenities are nice.

Cons

This company and the entirety of its management is completely unprofessional. Managers will only help you when it is convenient to them, miss scheduled meetings without notice, or be absent for weeks at a time. Manager turnover is high and you are left to figure things out for yourself a good majority of the time. There is no work from home option and they online provide 10 days of PTO and 0 sick days. Most people, management included, will come in sick to save their vacation days and get others sick in the process. The only time a work from home option was provided was when a former employee posed an extremely dangerous threat to the office and police had to guard the building. Even then, the option to work in office was available. Racism and sexism are prevalent throughout the company. Minorities are the first to be placed on performance improvement plans on tracks to be fired, while others with equal or even lower performance are not. Women are frequent targets of baseless accusations made by trainers and upper management, making it an incredibly hostile environment to work in.
