Pros

Benefits, Pay, scheduled for a 4 on 3 off, 10 hour shifts. You ALWAYS work more than 10 hours. Some of the people get to work with are passionate, intelligent and fun to work with.

Cons

HR sets the tone...and its almost always more of a headache and problem for the managers. 10-hour workday is a myth. poor Leadership is allowed to exist due to fear of offending someone. Unless someone helps you network or gets you out of your building to cross train, you are very trapped in a sphere.

Pros

A large diverse work force from all backgrounds and experience. Great opportunity for emerging leaders coming out of college working in Operations as a new people manager.

Cons

Metrics and KPIs are measured often, but focus is on customer promise. Long hours can be a grind during seasonal peaks.

Pros

Job security. Great health insurance benefits. Stock grants are performance based and given each year depending on how you rank

Cons

A lot of hours worked for the same pay, being that managers are salary. During holiday season, management has to work an extra hour every day and an extra day each week without any additional compensation. Given that operations manager typically work 12 hr shifts, 4 days per week. With the extra time during the holidays, we pull 65 hour work weeks…13 hr shifts five days per week. You do not earn any additional time off until you are with the company for 6 years. The work is mentally exhausting with screen shots required for most tasks, constant updates, and need to be active in 85+ slack channels. 100% of the day is on the computer. You have to work at a standing desk entire day which is bad on the knees. Opportunities to walk around is minimal given that you must be working on the computer entire shift
