Pros

You get 20% off as an employee plus the deals that they have going on also applies lots of paid time off

Cons

It's over night and you are going to be lifting more weight than they say you will. no chance of promotion unless you want to spend your life there. Usually don't get off on time Everything has a smell and when blended together, smells really bad and you will go home smelling like the warehouse. also, too much work and hazards for being paid minimum wage.

Pros

A current job is better than no job to seek better job. Working with tools is cool. Good place for college students.

Cons

They schedule very little hours. If you're there originally scheduled for 7 hours working freight, more likely to only work half the time. They hire so many people for that one day to have items unloaded and stocked. You would be fortunate enough to work 12 hours a week. If you manage to stay there for at least 8 months, don't expect much of a raise. Up to 13cents they give. You can work all superb show up as scheduled very knowledgeable excellent will co workers and customers and management. Yet they will always find fault in you though you believe in integrity.
