Pros

good total year income, meet some good people along the way.

Cons

have to work too much to make a decent living, you have the workload of 2-3 people, 35-40% of your yearly income comes from bonuses of some sort which means weekly/monthly wages are dismal. paid by the hour to force you to work more. very negative atmosphere and culture, you are always wrong and have to continually prove why you are right..and even if your right your still wrong. always trying to find a way to make you look like an idiot instead of helping you grow as a professional and and build your categories.

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.
