Pros

401k Health insurance 2 vacations a year Salary is good but I personally felt it was not enough for everything you have to do.

Cons

Work every Holiday. Little to no family time Your days off really are not your days off. When you leave the store you have to go back 3 nights a week for shift change. Once during the week and 2 nights on the weekend. You’re not really off when you leave. You are responsible for EVERYTHING. They count EVERYTHING. And if it’s missing you will have to pay for it. They Will literally take it out your check. No up line support.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
