Pros

There were a lot of friendly associates. Also, 50% off food was ok.

Cons

Where do I begin...I honestly felt like this was the best company to work for until a year in and started seeing Mgmt become 2-faced. Senior Mgmt would make decisions without seeing the impact it would have on the department adding more or slowing down processes that were in place. It also didn't help that these same Senior Mgr had a buddy working for company that was hired which added and slowed down our process. The Senior Mgr wouldn't budge on getting rid of them. The department was doing jobs that were clearly supposed to be done by another department, but that other department didn't want to do it, so it landed in the department I was in. There was also some people in the department that thought outing a fellow teammates to direct Mgmt, from what they were seeing on each other's social media accounts, would show that they're Mgmt material. Favoritism for certain employees in most departments and was quite evident. The work/life balance was horrendous. The health, vision, dental insurance is extremely high. No college tuition reimbursement. It's next to impossible to move up unless you're a favorite and/or you know a Senior Mgr.

Pros

At the Kingsfield and Highway 29 Location, I found that the people I worked with made it worth it. The rush hours were sometimes quite fun when everyone was flowing well. Pay raises are yearly with your annual review. They encourage moving up in the company.

Cons

Customer Service can be terrible for your mental health. I received a 20-cent pay raise, though it was for one year.
