Pros

- Easy - Did not do much - My manager was cool

Cons

- You're not really selling anything, you're restocking vending machines - If you become manager, you're not going to be making like any commission at all

Pros

They are always hiring, close to the freeway, lots of parking. Some positions offer a flexible schedule. Some departments offer a monthly bonus. Some positions include out of state travel.

Cons

Pay well below industry standard. They 'promote from within' so management has no management experience or formal training. Benefits are garbage.
