Pros

Employee discount of 50% off (half off the current half off price) Great coworkers and kind management Hour long lunchbreak Quarterly company profit sharing and bonuses throughout the year. sweet regulars calm winter months to catch up on jobs Very interesting and unique product bought in everyday

Cons

Physically and mentally taxing lots of lifting of heavy boxes and product (50-100lbs) Very heavy workload in summers with not enough help Sometimes disgusting product sold to us (mold, urine, bedbugs) Difficult customers (but that's just everywhere I guess) High amount of product expected to be shelved quickly Inconsistent scheduling

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
