Pros

-Flexable with hours. Helps if you are a full-time student. -Great experience if you have never had a job before. -You learn the ins and outs of the company which, helps for a business career in retail or warehousing.

Cons

-Have to work weekends but, your pay increases $2.50 an hour. -You do not need a degree to move up in this company. If you you do have a degree, you only get an couple extra dollars an hour. In my opinion, it is not that amazing. -The profit sharing is nice but, gets taxed heavily. If you are a department manager or store manager, they are the ones who get big profit sharing checks. It takes a couple of years to get a good percentage of the share. -The cash bonuses you get throughout the year from the company can only be used to buy stuff in the store.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
