      This is one of the most underpaid jobs I have ever had.

      Pros

      Employee discount, but you can save more if you just shop online as a customer.

      Cons

      The pay is poor for the amount of tasks and knowledge you need to be successful. You are expected to answer the phone while waiting on customers while at the same time stocking, taking care of plan o grams, and making commercial deliveries. You are expected to do all of this for under nine dollars an hour. Instead of advancing from within, management will hire outside leaving experienced workers at part time.

      Pros

      Great People working in the Stores and The Store Support Center, they want to help and help the customers. You will meet alot of Great People.

      Cons

      The company is changing and not for the better. When I first joined the company a peer told me to watch the mid level managers (Above DL) because the one claiming to live the values the most was the biggest liar. After my experience of the last year (s) he was right and I am certain that this runs all the way to the top of the company. Because when they sign off on the items that are not in line with the values they condon the lying and the NON VALUES oriented management styles of the upper management.
