Pros

Great place to meet people, and a pretty relaxed environment. Discount is okay, the profit sharing is worth waiting for, and there is room to grow if you're willing to travel. They really work with you and help you with scheduling if needed.

Cons

Not a very challenging or rewarding job, and you almost have to travel when trying to move up in the company. If you are management, it's almost a requirement or you get demoted. It's almost impossible to get fired, you really have to try or just not show up at all. Management can be fickle, and not always professional. Benefits are laughable, and not even worth it if you're part-time. Regular retail hours.

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.
