Pros

Good money, Good vacation time once your there for a while. There is many different oppurtunities to move up in the company quite fast if your willing to relocate. Seminars once a year for getting product knowledge and ensuring management staff is on the same page.

Cons

Work a lot of hours most weeks 6 days a week during summer. The voluntary unpaid IHT or In-Home-Training is not so voluntary if you want to move into the ranks of management.

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.
