Thank you for sharing your opinion. Many of our warehouse associates start there and then move into other roles after learning that function. It's also a great job for students going to school. Since I don't have any details on where you worked, I'm unable to look into your particular situation. If you'd like to talk about it, please call me at 614-850-3150. Thanks, Angie

Interesting store, some great co-workers, some evil customers.

Pros

The crew that works there are very hard working, friendly people. Some really cool regular customers who are so kind and friendly (if you're there long enough to strike up that positive relationship.)

Cons

Some of the Mangers. Though some of the upper/mid-level staff are great people. The occasional crazy customers. (Because of that Cambridge bag-ban, customers will hate you personally for ten cents a bag. )
