Pros

Can't think of any. OK OK they want more....It was a learning experience and I did learn more with all the exams about construction....so that's good

Cons

During inventory they make you work 40 hours STRAIGHT!! In an unheated store. That's all I'm saying. Oh did I mention minimum pay?

Stepping Stone to a Better Job Elsewhere

Pros

Atmosphere is relaxed, you would have to work hard to get fired here. Most of the people at corporate office are very friendly. The available healthcare plan is good. This is a good place to get some experience while you look for a better job. As long as we don't see another housing bubble, your job will be very secure.

Cons

It takes 3 years to see your 2 weeks of vacation actually become available. Expect zero days your first year and very few your second year. Pay is very low for a corporate office; most positions are just above minimum wage. You'll make more working at a gas station, but with luck you'll be able to do nothing all day because this is the kind of place where one person in each department tends to get stuck with all the work while everyone else slouches off. You'll also get to work 45 hour weeks (for no extra pay) while being forced to take an hour lunch, so expect to be here at least 50 hours a week. If you become the person stuck doing all the work for your department, don't expect to be rewarded. You'll get raises based on when you were hired even if the person next to you hasn't done anything useful since you got there. Don't expect to have a career here that entails making much more money than you start at. Even if you're put in a management position in your department, you'll still make barely more than the new hires that will be under you.
