Pros

The people I worked with and my supervisors where phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for coworkers or supervisors for my first job out of college. The company does a lot for their employees like potlucks, birthday celebrations, pizza parties, and an annual Christmas party. There's room for growth and movement within departments. If "Customer Service Rep" is on your resume, other future employers think "wow you did chromed service, you can do anything" (speaking from experience).

Cons

The job itself is extremely difficult. When I started, I joined the import group and took anywhere from 60-90 phone calls all day. Some calls are easy, but some people will yell at you for 10 minutes. It was a 9 hour day, 1 hour unpaid lunch, and two 15 minute breaks (in the AM and then PM). I couldn't stand being yelled at all day or listening to someone cry because they might lose their job if they don't have a container delivered. It's an extremely tough job.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
