Pros

steady employment and lots of opportunity to work overtime. You can move up, if you work hard. Pay, once you've worked there a while, can be competitive.

Cons

A 40 hour work week is considered part-time. The company still operates with and old management style where the workers are considered easily replaceable and upper-management uses fear of job loss to motivate.

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.
