Pros

Money is above average for warehouse. Get paid every week. Plenty of overtime if you want it.

Cons

Working overnight and the amount of hours worked spent most of my weekends and days sleep. Can't go home to department met goals. Shifts often lasted longer the 8 hours.

Pros

As a DM you had company car, ability to set your schedule and plan you activities. Pay was decent

Cons

Very little work life balance. While the concept is preached, the reality of life in the company at the DM level is there is very little free time. Over the last 2 years, there seems to be a lack of decided direction. At least 2-3 times a year the focus of what the company wants will change and the execution expectation in immediate. Last, even with stores that are growing in sales, payroll budget to the stores are shrinking.
