Pros

Lots of hours translated to good total income and profit sharing. Some really great people worked here, most were gone within a year.

Cons

Really hard work, often lifting heavy 75lb+ up or down onto mega rack, demanding management, harsh and negative management styles, long hours both early morning and late nights. Really poor program of having people often close and then open the next day.

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.
