Pros

Good people and flexible schedule. It's a fast-paced job where you're always on your feet and moving around. Helps the shift to go by faster.

Cons

The pay is not on par with their competitors. Seems like you're viewed as just a number. The training worksheets aren't very helpful and mostly a waste of time and paper.

Pros

Pay, nearly unlimited hours/overtime during busy season, profit sharing,

Cons

Very restrictive: Taking a meal break longer than 35 minutes results in punishment. No consideration given to existing freight/overstock levels before sending more freight. "Good deal buys" often result in having much more freight on hand than room to store. Despite their claims about how confidentiality is important, store management and human resources desks are out in the open, accessible to any employee who happens to walk by...a lot of confidential employee documents left in the open until management finds the time to lock them up. Keeping payroll tight is so important that we are often left without enough staff to do our jobs effectively. Often the customer or store housekeeping suffers as a result. As a manager, I rarely if ever see my family on weekends because I typically work until store close, often not getting home until 11 pm.
