Bad place to work. Pay sucks. Management sucks. They suck up your whole life and spit you out. Micro managed. Unrealistic expectations. Avoid at all costs.

Good place to start. Friendly people. Hard to advance unless you’ve already had previous position you’re trying to get. Low staff and a lot of bad management a lot of places

Supervisor in Marion, IN

Lots of long hours which makes work/life balance a challenge. Very demanding physically for order fillers so turnover is high. Good experience and possibility for growth if hard worker.
