Pros

Instant profit sharing is one of their only incentives along with the "hop to it" program which is a couple hundred dollars for perfect attendance.

Cons

The pay is not worth the amount of work. There are more ways to dicipline than there are incentives. There is team member of the month but it seams like you have to know the right person to get it. The lumber yard is well underequiped. When there are 8 people working and only 2 forklifts it is very difficult to get daily tasks completed.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
