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.
