Pros

Hourly rate isn't bad for Pickers/Packers. Easy place to work, just show up and do your work and you'll be fine.

Cons

Pay for leads, supervisors, etc are lower than normal. Goals are very hard to hit, but recently pressure to hit goals is less. The attendance policy is garbage which works off an occurrence policy (5pts your fired). You're not allowed any sick days and if you happen to be sick on a Monday you get charged a double occurrence. I you get sick twice on a Monday in a year you'll be written up and close to being fired. Extremely high turnover rate (over 50%). Lots of mandatory overtime because of always being shorthanded.

Batteries Plus Bulbs has a dynamic distribution center that is responsible for meeting the inventory needs of more than 600 stores, and our in-store and online customers. Our attendance policy helps to ensure that we have an adequate workforce scheduled to get the job done. In addition to 8 paid holidays, the company recognizes associates have diverse needs for time off from work and has established a generous time-off policy to provide associates with paid time away from work in as little as one hour increments. Our PTO bank allows associates the flexibility to balance their home life and work life, and can be used for - Vacations - Employee’s own illness or care of a family member - Non-work related appointments such as court appearances, visits to a professional (doctor, lawyer), etc. - Attending children’s school events, etc. We offer competitive wages and benefits and have open positions in various departments within the company. We value associates who are committed to executing their job responsibilities to meet our customer needs and brand standards.
