I'd rather bag groceries.

Pros

The commission structure was one of the only reasons to suffer through the Cons, but management has recently screwed us after that too. (Not informing us until maybe 5 months later)

Cons

Create legal contracts with employees and then break them. Agree with others "cult-like" environment description. I am honest and hardworking and don't give up easily. However, this place will more than likely break even the strongest person. I regularly have coworkers crying at my desk for same reasons, one very sweet and hardworking peer said you need to be on "suicide watch" when working here. In short, management expects you to perform miracles which is fine and dandy but does not provide the tools necessary to accomplish goals or the guidance. When you are in need, no one is to be found.. The company implemented a routine where other departments need to acknowledge and compliment one another each week because fights used to break out in the parking lot. Nobody wants to help each other here. Not to mention they do find ways to remove some of the negative comments from review websites..

Pros

I made some great friends, and learned how to work in an difficult environment. The money isn't bad.

Cons

The management is the worst I've ever worked with. They are belittling and demeaning. They will yell at people on the floor and and are just awful. It's like a revolving door with so many temps coming in and out, the average length of stay can't be longer than 3 months.

Pros

-Fun, young atmosphere (outside of work) -You'll develop a level of patience that you never thought possible -If you aren't that smart and lack common sense, you'll fit right in -If you are relatively smart and have common sense, then you'll be one of the smartest people in the building (there are probably about 8 others, so you'll have a few friends)

Cons

Poor training, poor management (with a few exceptions), and they treat you like a child (I was written up after being 4 minutes late one day...if this seems ridiculous to you and you work here anyway, then you're in for a real treat). It's honestly one of the most backwards companies that I've been affiliated with. I usually don't put too much stock into negative company reviews on websites, but the ones you'll see on here aren't far off. That being said, this job is like any other in terms of "you get out what you put in". Even if you don't move up, get promoted, ect. you have something to add to the resume. If you're working here, it's most likely because you didn't have any other options; so sack up and do what you can while looking for other opportunities. You chose this job; never forget that. Hey- it could be worse...you could be dead.
