Pros

The IT department has mature processes that have been thoroughly vetted and work well. They form the basis of a model that can be taken anywhere. Learn and move on. For the most part, they have great people who are extremely knowledgeable and willing to help.

Cons

It is one of the most highly political places I've worked. Cross the wrong person, even inadvertently, and life becomes miserable until you just give up and leave. There are basically two camps: Old Guard and Young Turks. Old Guard still winning, but they are thinning out. There are some outright vindictive VPs and Directors. Not the norm, but tolerated nonetheless. More and more, they are turning to the field to fill corporate management positions. Be prepared to pay some heavy dues to get to management.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

· Guaranteed overtime — Night shifts often ran long, and overtime was consistently available. · $14/hour starting pay — Standard for the role, but the overnight differential helped. · Overnight schedule — Good for night owls or anyone who prefers a quieter work environment. · Hudson Oaks PD presence — Police regularly stopped by, which made the late hours feel safer. · Minimal direct supervision — No manager breathing down your neck during night shifts. You were trusted to run the store independently.

Cons

· No training provided — Promised during the interview, never delivered. · Missing cleaning supplies — Brooms, glass cleaner, disinfectant were frequently unavailable. · Poor communication from management — Last-minute schedule changes, full voicemail box, unanswered requests. · Unreliable morning crew — Night shift often had to stay late because morning people didn't show up on time. · Terminated after setting a boundary — Asked to leave at scheduled end time; was fired the next day.
