Pros

This place would defiantly hire just about anyone. I worked there for almost one year.

Cons

Recently, the main boss of the place was fired. The guy with the job that required a degree. There was this one day where he had a bunch of people voluntarily come in on a Saturday morning to fix their inventory problem. However, nobody knew how to use their scanners & they ended up deleting like half the inventory out of the system. So, from there, they got so behind on their orders that they never could quite recover. Then, a couple weeks later, people from the corporate headquarters in from Massachusetts and fired the main boss. They came in & tried fixing everything by yelling & firing people. I really hate that this happened. He was going to make the place a 24/7 location. & he had many great ideas. Sadly, he spent too much time behind his desk, didn't really know his crew & the ship sank. This all happened around August 2015. The night shift manager quit too. This place is full of angry miserable leads/management. You get cussed at & yelled at every single day.
