Pros

I had a great deal of opportunities in the past at Ace corporate offices in Oak brook.

Cons

After a long career there, Ace is simply about the business now with no concern or loyalty for there tenured employees. There is a true incentive to move the employees out and replace them at half the cost with young college graduates. They demand an expect loyalty from their employees, but it is a one way street .

Pros

I had to leave this job due to a relocation to another state for my husbands work. Best job ever. I cried the day I left. They treat you like family

Cons

Pay could be a little higher

Pros

There are not too many.

Cons

Long hours; indefinite out times; no flexibility; poor communication; lack of respect for warehouse worker is built into the culture; toxic environment with petty politics and high school type drama; rules applied based on convenience and like ability and not job performance; office management is out of touch with the warehouse environment and work processes, this means implanted solutions are usually underwhelming and off track; continued feedback is requested and given but those issues are ignored over and over. Responses are band aids at best and flagrant disregard is more likely. No planning for busy season- WHERE IS THE BENCHMARKING?!; understaffed, under resourced, and over managed (with about 3 more layers of middle management than is needed). The environment is dirty, not temp controlled, warehouse staff is expected to housekeep in addition to the actual job. This job is incentive based and NOTHING is valued but faster- until you make a mistake and then you’re reminded about safety and quality.
