Pros

I would have to say that the hourly staff that I had the pleasure and honor of working with would be considered as " TOP NOTCH ".

Cons

Zero work/life balance. No training. One the oddest companies I have worked with, when attending a seminar at the corp. office Ok City a VP told our group his rule to be successful with HL was god, family then HL in that order. I don't believe my DM got that memo. It is a common practice to work a 14+ hr day alone without a meal/break. You will work 65+ hrs a week. My store mgr ? WOW a very insecure totally disconnected individual ( ideal puppet for DM ) with short man syndrome . If you have no life or people skills , then this is the mgmt. position for you .

Pros

good pay. 6 paid holidays.

Cons

Distribution center only cares about numbers, not employees. Keep your production up to 90 or above or you're a goner. Fellow employees wil mow you down trying to pull their items. and if you're slow, look out, you have to get out ot THEIR way. And of course you can't make your production if you can't work and have to wait for others to fill their orders.
